APPLICATION FOR MATERIAL LICENSE:DISTRIBUTION LICENSE 54-28526-01E !

I

5. Radioactive Material

Marathon seeks authorization to continue to distribute the.'same devices

(four models of luminous dial watches) that it !presently.is licensed to distribute.9

!

Element and mass number: Hydrogen-3. i

Chemical and/or ohvsical form: Gas in Sealed Light sources(mb-microtec Models 400/1 and 400/3 or SRB TechnologiesModel Type MH). Each watch has fourteen sealed glass vialscontaining tritium gas,.and the navigation watch (model 211

o

described below) also has a dot of luminous paint,by plastic, protectedon the bezel. Collectively these fifteen' lightsources contain not more than 25.5 millicuries of tritium.

,

L They are received in the United States already affixed towatches.

Makimum amount which will be oossessed at one time: Notapplicable for a distribution license.i

Marathon expects to, distribute a maximum of i100,000 watchesper year, or 2550 curies.

| !

6. Purposes for Which Licensed Material Will Be Used

Marathon is a Canadian watch company with contracts toi

supply the United' States military. Marathon seeks tocontinue to distribute pursuant to 10 CFR Part 32.22 fourmodels of luminous dial watches containing licensed materialto persons exempt from the requirements for a licensepursuant to 10 CFR Part 30.19 or equivalent state !

'

regulations.

Manufacturing is done abroad by Marathon in Switzerland.>

Watches are shipped to Marathon's facilities in the United |States (see Item 3) prior to distribution. Marathon'sUnited States facility is licensed to possess and use t

! byproduct materials under NRC Material License No.i

54-23526-(renewal application filed concurrently with this02application). That facility: 1) receives watches in thisI

country; 2) performs non-destructive acceptance testing ofthe watches; and 3) stores watches until distributed.Devices to be distributed: Marathon seeks to continue todistribute four models of watch to the United StatesDepartment of Defense and General Services Administration.; IThey are:

i _)

1. Navigation Watch Model No. 211, a large man'swatch with turning bezel, metal case and quartz movement,with battery.

2. Wrist Watch Model No. 348A, a " general purpose"military watch with a plastic case and 17-jewel mechanicalmovement.

3. Wrist Watch Model No. 350A, which is identical toModel No. 340A except that the movement is quartz with abattery.

4. Wrist Watch Model No. 359, which is identical toModel 348A except that it has a 7-jewel movement.

The design characteristics, quality assurance and testing ofthese watches are substantially dictated by specificationsset forth by the United States government as part of thecontracting process. The life expectancy of each watch isfive years. A copy of the current applicable militaryspecification is attached as Appendix A. For clarity,amendments to the specification have been handwritten on themaster document. All four of the watch models are governedby the same specification.

Physical conficuration of the watches: There have been nochanges in the design or materials for these watches sinceMarathon initially received authorization to distributethem. Drawings of the navigation watch (Model 211) andgeneral purpose watch (Models 348A, 350A and 359) areattached as Appendix B. They show the construction of thecase, the configuration of the face and hands, and theplacement of the fourteen glass vial light sources on thehour hand, second hand and hour markings on the dial, andthe placement of luminous paint on the bezel. Some drawingsare labeled "Gallet" because they were used by a formerMarathon sub-constractor; these are Marathon's drawings andare representative of Marathon's product.

Physical conficuration of the sealed class vial lichtsources: Luminous markings on the watch faces and hands areprovided by attaching light sources in the form of sealedglass vials of tritium gas. Two suppliers provide lightsources to use in the manufacture of these watches: mbmicrotec ag, CH-3172 Niederwanger/Bern, Freiburgstrasse 624,Switzerland; and SRB Technologies, Inc., P.O. Box 25267,Winston-Salem, N.C. 27114-5267.

Information on the sealed vials was originally provided toNRC for evaluation in letters dated October 10, 1989 andNovember 1, 1989 (rda microtec) and June 23, 1992 and August

i 26, 1992 (SRB Technologies). These letters transmittedi drawings of the glass vials showing dimensions and the

amount of tritium gas put into in each type of vial, andidentified where on the watch products each type of vialwould be used. Even though there have been no changes,

t

these letters and their attachments are attached forconvenience as Appendix C.

These letters note that the sealed light sources areregistered with USNRC under NR-446-S-102-S

,

! (mb microtec) andNC-585-S-102-S (SRB Technologies). Further information'

regarding the manufacturing and control of these glass vialscan be obtained from NRC's records related to theseregistrations.

Attachina the licht sources: The glass vials are placed onthe face and handsthe watch in grooves located at the appropriate positions on

Tritium vials are attached to the watches for Marathon by;

| Tritium 2000, S.A., 2300 La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland.Because Tritium 2000 is a foreign entity not regulated byNRC,

a copy of its Swiss license was provided in Marathon'si November 1, 1989 letter regarding light sources (included in} Appendix C).||

7.Individuals Responsible for Radiation Safety Program and| Their Training and Experience

The Radiation Safety Officer for Marathon's United Statesfacility, Scott Lawyere, is responsible for performing or

,

isupervising the visual and wipe testing of watches performedi upon their receipt in the United States,: prior todistribution to purchasers.described in Appendix E. His training and experience are

Marathon's radiation safety analysis was prepared by DavidJohn Watts, who continues to be available to consult forMarathon if needed. His qualifications at the time heperformed the work were described in an attachment toMarathon's original application.description is here as Appendix F. For convenience, that

8. Training for Individuals Working in or FrequentingRestricted Areas

Not applicable for a distribution license. Requiredtraining for access.to restricted areas at Marathon's Unitedstates facility is covered in Marathon's application torenew its possession license.

9. Facilities and Equipment

At its United States facility, Marathon uses a liquidscintillation counter to test for leakage and tritiumcontamination according to its receipt inspectionprocedures. The work area is monitored with a tritium airmonitor. Further information on Marathon's United Statesfacilities and equipment is covered in the application torenew Marathon's possession license and in the " testing"section under Item 10 below.

10. Radiation Safety Program

Radiation Safety Prouram and Procedures: Radiation safetyat Marathon's United States facility is covered in theapplication to renew Marathon's possession license.Radiation Safety Analysis: Marathon has performed safetyanalysis of the potential exposure to tritium of personsreceiving watches under three different accident scenarios(previously provided June 19, 1990). Marathon continues to {

,

rely on this analysis for this application. Forconvenience, a copy is attached as Appendix G.

Ipstina to be nerformed before distribution: In order to be~

considered " Military Qualified Products", a 20-watch samplemust be subjected to qualification testing to demonstratetheir effectiveness both as timepieces and to contain theradioactive material in normal and severe conditions of use.These requirements are outlined in the militaryspecification, MIL-W-46374F, in section 4.3 (see AppendixA). A copy of the most recent report of qualification testresults (using navigation watches) is attached as AppendixH. Watches were wipe tested for contamination before being i

sent for mechanical testing. After all mechanical testingwas complete, they were tested radiologically as required by |

i

the specification. 100% of the watches examined remained '

free from contamination.4

Under Marathon's present license, a number of shipments ofwatches have been provided to the United States military.Each was, and future shipments would continue to be, subjectto the quality control standards and sample testing

Receiptinspections are performed at Marathon's facility in

the United States to assure that the watches are fabricatedto specification and that there is no radioactive icontamination. Each box is opened and checked for )

contamination and acceptance test results are reviewed. !

10% sample of all watches is examined visually before anyAi

shipment is repackaged for distribution. !The visualinspections and wipe tests to be performed, and Marathon's 1

i test and equipment, !are described in Appendix I attached.{

Human Access to Licht Sources: !During normal use, there isvials of tritium.no ready access to the dial and hands which hold the glass

For battery operated models (348A and211), the battery is installed through the back of the caseinto a separate compartment which does not access the face

;

of the watch.Access to the face of the mechanical movementwatches is also unlikely as the case is one piece and theback of the watch does not open. i

Labelino: The watches are clearly marked to comply bothwith labeling requirements of the military specification andwith 10 CFR Section 32.25 (a) . Painted on the face of the| watch are the standard radiation symbol, |

| "H3" to identifythe radioisotope, and " Marathon" to identify the initial'

transferor of the product. Permanent markings on the backof the case identify the manufacturer and military contractunder which the watches are distributed.

,

!, Recordkeeoina:! Marathon has been and will continue to becommitted to complying with the recordkeeping requirementsof 10 CFR 32.25 (c) . Records of all transfers to otherpersons for use under Section 30.19 will be maintained and

reports will be filed with the Director of Material Safetyand Safeguards and with the Region I Office as required byregulation.

Marathon understands that regulations require a,'

quantity of radionuclide in each, and the total number ofproduct units transferred. Marathon also understands thatthe report is to be filed within thirty days of either:five years after the previous report; filing an applicationfor license renewal; or notifying the commission it intendsto permanently cease licensed activities.

11. Waste Management

Not applicable to a distribution license. Waste managementat Marathon's United States facility is covered in theapplication to renew Marathon's possession license.

EVALUATION OF THE SAFETY CRITERIAFOR MARATHON WATCH MODELS 211 AND 348A 1

|

l

I2

INTRODUCTION

!fo support our application for a license under Section 32.22 of 10 CFR, the following is an I

evaluation of the safetycriteria for Marathon watch models 211 and 348A.

ACCIDENT SCENARIOS

Three basic ex1 dent scenarlos were constdered in which the watch and all of the fifteen lignt I

sources contained within the watch were destroyed, releasing 25.5 MCI of tritium.

The following dose estimates do not take into account any dose to the lung from exposure toelemental tritium gas as it is considered insignificant in comparison to the exposure to trtilumoxide 1,2,3. The tritium oxide content of the light sources was assumed to be a maximum of 1 %based on initial gas asse/ from the supplier.

i

The doses are based on a standard man ( 70 Kg) breathing at an average daily rate of 20 m3 perde/ (light activity) 4 and that the rate of absorption of tritium oxide by we/ of the lungs isapproximately equal to the rate by way of the exposed skin of the whole bod / .5

The first scenario considers the maximum dose potential from a single watch where the entirecontent of tritium oxide is absorbed into one individual. The possibility of such an occurrence isnegligible in that diffusion into surrounding air volume wtil decrease the dose considerably.

The meximum tritium oxide content of a single watch is 255 pct and, assuming that for every 1pCI ingested, a dose of 1,67 * 10-4 rem would result 5. The rem dosage for this scenario wouldbe:

Eauation 1 0.0426 rem

A second and more meaningful evaluation might be made by considering the concentration anddose calculation for an exposure from a single watch, again releasing the entire contents oftritium oxide into a sealed room 10 ft by 10 ft by 10 ft. This is a conservative estimete as noallowance is made for diffusion and dispersion from the room during the event thereby reducingthe dose to some far smaller value. The residence time during this event was selected as twentyminutes.

Room volume is 1000 ft 3 or 28.32 m3 or 28.32 * 106 cc's;

Releasing 255 uC) of tritium oxide into this volume results in a tritium oxideconcentration of:

9.00 * 10-12 C1/c

:

I

___ _ _ ._ _ _ _ _ _ _. . . _ _ _ _

.

i

A breathing rate of 20 m3/ day gives a rate of 1.389 * 104 cc's/ minute

with a twenty minute residence time and a m61tiplication factor of 2 for the skin dosethe resulting intake is.

9.00 * 10-12 * 1.389 * 104 '* 20 * 2 = 5.00 pct

The resulting dose for this intake is:,

Eauetion 2 5.00 * 1.67 * 10-4 = 0.00084 rem

The third scenario considers the handling and storage of 2500 watches in one location and thatall were severely damaged releasing the entire contents of tritium oxide into a sealed room 10 ft

|by 10 ft by 10 ft. Again, this is a conservative estimate as no allowance is made for diffusion jand dispersion from the room during the event thereby reducing the dose to some far smaller

|value. The residence time durIng this event was agaln selected as 20 minutes.)

2500 watches will release 63.75 C1 of tritium gas. Assuming a 1 % tritium oxide' I

content this will result in a release of 0.6375 C1 of tritium oxide. The resulting trtitumoxide concentration in the room is:

2.25 * 10-8 C1/cc

Wtth a 20 minute residence time and a multiplication factor of 2 for the skin dose theresulting Intake is: |

|i

2.25 * 10-8 * 1.389 * 104 * 20 * 2 = 12507 uCi

The resulting dose for this intake is:

Eaustion 3 12507 * 1.67 * 10-4 = 2.09 rem

CONOLUSIONS

in the normal use and disposal of a single exempt unit it is unlikely that a dose commitmentresulting from the intake of tritium in any one year to an individual will exceed 0.001 rem[ Equation 2).

In the normal handling and storage of Quantitles of exempt units likely to accumulate in onelocation during marketing, distribution, installation and servicing of the product, it is unlikelythat the committed dose resulting from the intake of trttium in any one year to an Individualwill exceed 0.01 rem. This is based on the assumption that if 2500 watches were stored in a 10

! foot square sealed room it is unlikely that 12 Individual units would be broken at the same time| and an individual would be present for twenty minutes after the event, or, that the same

individual would be present through 12 separate single events for the duration of twentyminutes each during a one year time period.

.

.

j Based on previous exoerience with tritium light sources we believe it is unlikely that therewill be a significant reduction In the effectiveness of the containment of the unit from wear andeDuse likely to occur in normal handling and use of the product during its useful life.

In the use and disposal of a single exempt unit the risk is negligible that the committed doseresulting from intake of tritium will exceed 0.5 rem (Equation i). In the handling and storageof quantitles of exempt untts likely to accumulate in one location durIng marketing,distribution, installation and servicing of the product, the probability is low that a committeddose resulting from the intake of tritium will exceed 0.5 rem. This is based on the assumptionthat if 2500 watches were stored in a 10 foot square sealed room it is very improbable that595 individual units would be broken at the same time and an individual would be present fortwenty minutes after the event, or, that the same individual would be present through 595separate single events for the duration of twenty minutes each during a one year time perlod.Also, the probability is negligible that a committed dose resulting from the intake of tritiumwill exceed 15 rem (Equation 3].

j Therefore, we conclude that the watch models 211 and 348A meet the applicable requirements| of Section 32.23 of 10 CFR safety criteria.!
