1 6. Radioactive Sources and IAEA Course Catalog
2 IAEA Guidance #5: Identification of Radioactive Sources and Devices Aids non-specialist individuals and organizations in initial identification of radioactive sources, devices and packages Provides instruction on what to do and how to obtain further help 2
3 Radioactive sources some definitions A radioactive source means: radioactive material that is permanently sealed in a capsule or closely bonded, in a solid form includes any radioactive material released if the radioactive source is leaking or broken does not include material encapsulated for disposal, or nuclear material within the nuclear fuel cycles of research and power reactors. Special form radioactive material means either an indispersable solid radioactive material or a sealed capsule containing radioactive material 3
4 Radioactive sources some definitions Management means the administrative and operational activities that are involved in the life cycle of a radioactive source Source life cycle means the manufacture, supply, receipt, possession, storage, use, transfer, import, export, transport, maintenance, recycling or disposal of a radioactive source. Distinction between radioactive sources, devices and practices 4
5 Practices using sealed radioactive sources LDR Brachytherapy HDR Teletherapy Moisture Detectors Industrial Radiography Well Logging Industrial Gauges Irradiators Consumer Products Calibration Sources 1 kbq 1 MBq 1 GBq 1 TBq 1 PBq 5

24 Objectives of the IAEA Catalogue Two major objectives To provide essential information on industrially manufactured radioactive sources and devices for a wide range of individuals and organizations. To facilitate source identification based on limited information on orphan sources and devices to allow safe handling of these items. 24
25 MSOffice1 Source details 25
26 Slide 25 MSOffice1 Database contains data on source models (i.e. radionuclides, activity, category, sahpe, size, manufacturing details, uses, manufacturer/distributor, etc.). Presently the Catalogue contains about 6,800 source models.,
27 MSOffice2 Device details 26
28 Slide 26 MSOffice2 This datatase contains data on device models including transport containers (i.e. description, applications, manufacturer/distributor and identification of authorized sealed sources inside the device). Presently, the Catalogue contains about 8,000 device models.,
29 MSOffice3 Manufacturer / Distributor details 27
30 Slide 27 MSOffice3 The database contains addresses of manufacturers and distributors of SRS and devices housing such sources. Presently, the Catalogue contains information on about 1,200 manufacturers/distributors.,
31 ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN IF AN UNCONTROLLED SEALED SOURCE, DEVICE OR TRANSPORT PACKAGE IS FOUND Do not touch the object Evacuate the immediate area and prevent access (secure the area) Maximize the distance that people are from the object Notify civil authorities (regulatory body) and emergency services (rescue services, police) 28
32 Summary Radioactive sources are used in a wide variety of industrial, medical, agricultural and research practices. The characteristics that must be known include radioisotope, radioactivity levels, encapsulation, chemical and physical characteristics, device operation and design, manufacturer and supplier details. The user or owner is responsible for the safe management and secure protection of the source. Secure area and report uncontrolled sources, devices or transport packages 29
33 Session 1.2 Exercise Identify and describe: 1. What practices occur in your country that use sealed radioactive sources? 2. Which Government departments, agencies or laboratories have responsibility for any part of the life cycle management of sealed radioactive sources in your country? 3. What companies (private, national or multinational) are involved in the management of sealed radioactive sources in your country? 30
