Annex No 1 to Decree No 143 / 1997 Coll.
RADIONCULATED SINCE OF SPECIAL FORMS
(1) The radionuclide radionuclide radiator of a special form is:
(a) designed to be opened only by breaking it;
(b) has at least one dimension greater than 5 mm;
(c) is type-approved by the Office, 6)
(d) it has such characteristics or is so designed that, in the case of testing under paragraph 3 (a) to (d), it meets the following requirements:
1. did not break or break during pressure, impact and bending tests;
2. did not melt or disperse during temperature tests;
3. the leaching activity in the leaching tests described in paragraph 5 did not exceed 2 kBq, or alternatively, in the case of radionuclide lamps in a closed housing, the rate of leakage of the contents from a closed housing containing a radionuclide radionuclide lamp in the test evaluating this leak and described in the International Organisation for Standards ISO / TR 4826: 1979 "Closed radionuclide radionuclide lamp" did not exceed the value set out as the prescribed threshold in this document.
(2) Proof of compliance with the requirements described in paragraph 1 (d) is carried out by one or a combination of the methods listed below:
(a) a test with a sample representing a radionuclide radionuclide radionuclide in a special form, the sample being as close to the expected range of characteristics of the radionuclide radionuclide radionuclide as practically possible, and the sample is adjusted as it is usually transmitted for transport or transport;
(b) a reference to the previous evidence adopted by the Office;
(c) calculation where the reliability or conservativity of the calculation methods and parameters are acceptable to the Authority.
The appropriate assessment methods shall be used for conducting sample tests to confirm that the conditions referred to in paragraph 1 (d) are met.
(3) Required tests:
Tests with samples containing or mimicking a radionuclide radionuclide radionuclide form are: impact, penetration, bending and temperature test. A different sample may be used for each test. After each test, the sample shall be tested using a method which is not less sensitive than those referred to in paragraph 5. The following methods shall be used for testing:
(a) Impact test: The sample falls from a height of 9 m to a target which is flat and has a horizontal surface of such characteristics so that any increase in its resistance to displacement or deformation after the impact of the sample does not significantly increase the damage to the sample;
b) Penetration test: The sample shall be placed on a lead plate supported by a smooth solid surface and shall be struck by a steel rod on the flat front so as to result in an equivalent impact resulting from free weight drop of 1,4 kg from a height of 1 m. The flat front of the steel bar has a diameter of 25 mm and edges rounded to a radius of 3 ± 0,3 mm. Lead hardness 3,5 to 4,5 according to the Vickers scale, with a thickness of not more than 25 mm, covers the area larger than the area of the sample. A new lead surface is used for each impact. The rod hits the sample to cause as much damage as possible.
(c) Bending test: The test shall be carried out only for long, thin radionuclide sources with a minimum length of 10 cm, with a length to minimum width ratio of not less than 10. The sample is firmly fixed in a horizontal position so that one half of its length protrudes over the edge of its grip. The orientation of the sample is such that its maximum damage occurs when the front surface of the steel rod hits its free end. The steel bar shall strike the sample in such a way as to cause an equivalent impact resulting from a free weight drop of 1,4 kg from a height of 1 m The flat front of the steel bar has a diameter of 25 mm and edges rounded to a radius of 3 ± 0,3 mm;
d) Temperature test: The sample is heated in air up to 800 ° C and this temperature is maintained for 10 minutes, then let the sample cool.
(4) Samples containing or imitating a radionuclide lamp in a closed housing need not be subjected to:
(a) the tests described in paragraph 3 (a) and (b), provided that they are alternatively verified by an impact test on the Class 4 target prescribed in ISO document 2919: 1980 "Closed radionuclide lamps - Classification,"
(b) the test described in paragraph 3 (d), provided that they are alternatively tested by a temperature test of Class 6 prescribed in ISO 2919: 1980 "Closed radionuclide lamps - Classification."
(5) Extraction tests:
(a) For samples containing or imitating a solid-state radionuclide radionuclide radionuclide in compact form, the evaluation of leaching shall be carried out as follows and in exactly the following order:
1. the sample is immersed in room temperature water for seven days. The water volume used in the test shall be such that at the end of the seven-day test the residual free volume of the unabsorbed and unreacted water is at least 10% of the volume of the sample tested. The water has an initial pH of 6-8 and a maximum conductivity of 1 mS / m at 20 ° C,
2. the water with the sample is heated to 50 ± 5 ° C and maintained for four hours;
3. the leaching activity shall be determined,
4. the sample is stored for seven days in stationary air with a relative humidity of at least 90% at 30 ° C;
5. the sample is immersed in water of the same characteristics as in point 1 and the procedure described in point 2 is carried out;
6. the leaching activity shall be determined;
(b) For samples containing or imitating a radionuclide lamp in a closed housing, the evaluation of leaching or volume leakage shall be carried out as follows and in exactly the following order:
1. immerse the sample in room temperature water. It has an initial pH of 6- 8 and a maximum conductivity of 1 mS / m at 20 ° C,
2. the water with the sample is heated to 50 ± 5 ° C and maintained for four hours;
3. the leaching activity shall be determined,
4. the sample shall be stored for seven days in still air at a temperature of at least 30 ° C;
5. repeat the procedure described in paragraphs 1, 2 and 3.
(6) The alternative assessment of the leakage rate from a closed housing containing a radionuclide radionuclide lamp includes any of the tests prescribed in ISO / TR 4826: 1979 "Closed radionuclide radionuclide lamps - Tight testing methods" set by the Authority in agreement with the applicant for type approval.
