SUPPLEMENT G

1. Reference: NRC Form 313, Item 10, Radiation Safety Program.

2. The Army program for control of radioactive items of supplyis prescribed specifically in Army Regulation (AR) 11-9, TheArmy Radiation Safety Program, and establishes requirements forobtaining NRC licenses for radioactive materials, authorizationsto possess radioactive material not controlled by the NRC,transportation of radioactive materials and disposal of unwantedradioactive material. Major Army commands and all Armyactivities are required to implement these DA regulations asrequired/supplemented through appropriate command channels.

3. The authority contained in the NRC license/Army RadiationAuthorizations (ARA) issued to CECOM permits DA installationsand activities to acquire and use certain radioactive materialsand items incorporating radioactive material without obtainingtheir own license/ARA for these items. This is based uponcommitments made by CECOM that Army elements will comply withconditions contained in those licenses/ARAs and with pertinentFederal, DOD and Army regulations. Both NRC and DA requirecontrol of all operations involving radioactive materials toensure the safety of personnel and property. Army activitiespossessing licensed radioactive sources and the agenciescontrolling them are subject to inspection by the NRC inaddition to inspection by Army elements.

4. The mission of CECOM includes the management and performanceof all material life cycle functions and services and to act asDA licensee for Army-wide distribution of these items. Thefollowing describes the functions of the various CECOM elementsproviding a coordinated effort:

a. The functions of NRC license/ARA management are assignedto the CECOM Directorate for Safety Radiological EngineeringDivision Health Physics staff. Responsibilities include:

(1) Coordinate, obtain, administer, review, amend andmaintain necessary licenses/ARAs for radioactive commoditiesmanaged by this command.

Page 1 of 9 Supplement G

(2) Provide information and guidance to all commanders withrespect to limitations, constraints, conditions or procedures,which affect the responsibilities of those commanders for theradioactive commodity.

(3) Monitor the life cycle program of the radioactivecommodities to assure compliance with conditions of theapplicable license/ARA.

(4) Assure that license/authorized material is nottransferred to unauthorized persons or organizations.

b. CECOM health physicists serve as staff contact forradiation control and NRC license/ARA related matters to theArmy Material Command (AMC), other major commands, DA elements,other services and federal agencies. They provide advice andassistance to depots, Army elements and other CECOM elementsinvolved in the fielding of radioactive items, i.e., theNational Inventory Control Point .(NICP). In addition, the CECOMhealth physics staff prepare radiation safety instructions forincorporation in technical literature and other publishedguidance pertaining to the items; coordinate with the NICP toassure that requisitioning elements are authorized andtechnically capable of receiving the items and the procurementsdo not exceed the quantity or use limitations imposed by thelicense/ARA; perform pre-award and post-award health physicssurveys of contractors facilities; provide health physicsadviceto include instructions for disposal of radioactive waste, andserve as staff officers for notification, investigation, andpreparation of reports required in the event of an accident orincident involving radioactive items managed by this command.

c. The NICP Logistical Modernization Program (LMP)computerized data retrieval system supports the AMC materialreadiness function by providing comprehensive logisticalmanagement data for items contained within the Army SupplySystem. Information inputted into the Army logisticscomputerized data system is transmitted and disseminatedworldwide to affected Army elements in order to provideinformation necessary for proper management/handling of theitem. In addition, the NICP maintains records of procurement,receipts, storage locations, shipments, using locations, and


authorizes, issues, and assures adequate supply. Reports ofexcess items are submitted through Army channels to the NICP forreview of serviceability, turn-in, or disposal as radioactivewaste.

d. The CECOM NICP, in conjunction with the CECOMDirectorate for Safety, has adopted special procedures forindividually controlled radioactive items (ICRI) that are inaddition to standard Army supply practices used for all typeclassified items. These items are the AN/UDM-I, AN/UDM-IA,AN/UDM-2, AN/UDM-6 Radiac Calibrator Sets, and M3AI RadioactiveSource Set. These controls include insuring that the item iscoded in the Army logistics computerized data system as"radioactive" IAW Appendix A of AR 708-1, Logistics ManagementData and Cataloging of Supplies and Equipment. The item iscoded with a Special Control Item Code (SCIC) indicating itcontains radioactive material. Requisitions are processedinitially by computers and, due to the radioactive SCICdesignation, are then processed manually by the NICP to verifythat the requisitioners are authorized to receive the item.When approved, the requisition is forwarded to the NICP, whichissues material release orders to the designated depot forshipment of the material directly to the requisitioner. Furthercontrol procedures include maintenance of a computerized dataretrieval system that contains information such as theradioactive commodity type number, serial number, location,responsible RSO, alternate RSO, if applicable, theirqualifications, and all leak test results. This information isreviewed by CECOM health physics personnel on a frequency basisfor accuracy, significant leak test results and issuance ofnotices for required leak tests.

e. The major Army commands have established regulatoryrequirements for control of the radioactive items. As providedfor by AR 11-9, each major command has established at theheadquarters level, a command RSSO to administer control ofradioactive items within the major commands. The RSSO ensuresthe qualifications of RSOs within the major command, assuresperiodic inventory and leak tests by using activities, performsperiodic inspection/audits of accountable installations/activities to assure that the items are properly handled IAWArmy and NRC regulations, and assures the submission of


inventory, leak test, and/or accident/incident reports to theappropriate commodity command as required by Army regulations.The RSO is responsible for administering the local radiationsafety program. Local programs provide for designateddosimetry, instrumentation, operating procedures to supplementpublished manuals for the items, receipts, transfers, storageand records.

f. CECOM is designated Primary Inventory Control Activity(PICA) for Federal Supply Classification (FSC) 5855 commoditieswhich includes Night Vision (NV) equipment. For FSC 5855thermal imaging systems used as ancillary subsystems to firecontrol systems managed by other commands, CECOM only maintainsPICA responsibilities for the thermal imaging subsystems (commonmodules). The primary armament system manager maintains fullPICA responsibility for the fire control system and allancillary subsystems including thermal imaging systems, butexcluding the thermal imaging subsystems. In this regard, CECOMhas been delegated the responsibility of maintaining overalllicense/regulatory control over the thermal imagingsystems/subsystems within the Army Supply System. This controlis implemented by effected coordination between this command andthe other AMC Major Subordinate Commands (MSC) who aredesignated as the weapon systems managers for the applicableEAA. Delegation of responsibilities include the following:

A minimum of two certified operators, fullytrained by the manufacturer or a qualified instructor, isrequired during operation of the device. This training includesemergency procedures to address shutter failures andenvironmental damage to the gauge. The on-site RSO will approvelocations of use. Safety requirements of the Radioactive SealedSources and Device Registration are incorporated into proceduresand include preoperational tests, establishment of exclusionzones, shutter failure contingencies, inspection frequencies,survey and dosimetry requirements, lock out/tag out proceduresand maintenance procedures. While not in use, the gauge will bereturned to its storage location in a locked and shieldedstorage box with the gauge shutter secured by locking pin andpadlock. To ensure inadvertent exposure of the source, theshutter control box is key controlled, the vehicle must bestarted, and the hydraulic lift actuated. The vehicle will alsobe secured against unauthorized removal by means of constantsurveillance and/or storing the vehicle in a secure enclosure.The device is mobile and designed to be used at temporary jobsites. Existing operating procedures for use of the MobileVACIS at such sites will be followed. Facilities and/orlocations where the Mobile VACIS will operate, will notdeliberately impact the safety or integrityof the device.

m. PINS Chemical Assay System.. Users of the PINS ChemicalAssay System are provided with specific instructions on safehandling, storage and transportation as described in the


technical manual provided with the equipment. A minimum of twotrained operators, fully trained by the manufacturer or aqualified instructor, is required during operation of thedevice. Safety requirements are incorporated into proceduresand include establishment of exclusion zones, inspectionfrequencies, survey and dosimetry requirements. While not inuse, the gauge will be returned to its storage location in alocked and shielded storage box with the gauge shutter securedby locking pin and padlock.

1. Reference: NRC Form 313, Item 11, Waste Management.

2. The U.S. Army program for waste management is outlined in AR11-9. The Department of the Army has delegated the mission tomanage and coordinate all radioactive waste disposal for theArmy to the U.S. Army Field Support Command (AFSC), Rock Island,IL. The AFSC provides detailed guidance on the handling,storage, and disposal of radioactive waste and other unwantedradioactive material. Users send requests for radioactive wastedisposal instructions, technical information, or assistancethrough command channels to the AFSC. The AFSC will evaluatethe requests and send users detailed shipping instructions thatdesignate the authorized disposal site, certification forms,radioactive waste shipping forms, special instructions; and achecklist for the packaging, marking, labeling, and shipping ofradioactive material. Alternatively, AFSC may make arrangementsfor a contracted radioactive waste broker to come on-site topackage and ship radioactive material designated for disposal.
