12.3 No licensed activity will be transferred orassigned without authorization by the U.S. NRCand transfer of diagram and records asspecified in Paragraph 11.2 above.

4. This is to state that all radiography will be done underwater.

Company Procedure Manual Section III revised as follows:

A. Daily Operations

Throughout these operations it is assumed thatall job sites will involve underwaterradiography.

5. Dr. Crihan's experience with Cobalt-60 and Iridium-192 isprovided in Attachment A.

6. An additional paragraph 4.3 is to be added to the Company

Procedures Manual Section II as follows:

4.3 Experienced radiographer and radiographer's assistant

All experienced radiographers and radiographer'sassistants who have worked for other licensee willbe given a 16 hour training course as follows:

- Eight hours on Megarad Inc. Company ProcedureManual. The instructors for this course areDr. Ioan G. Crihan or other designatedinstructors under his direction.

- An eight hour training course on the Model 865radiographic exposure device which willconsist of four hours on the theory,operation, maintenance and leak testprocedures on this device.

- Four hours of practical, hands-on instructionon the Model 865 camera which will include afield test on the safe operation of thedevice. This course will be given byinstructors having experience with the Model865 camera.

7. Instructors for Radiation Safety Principals will be suppliedby Hellier NDT, Cramer and Lindell Division.

4.4 Annual Refresher Training

Topics for annual refresher training willinclude, but not limited to the following:

- Operation of Amersham Model 865 for underwaterradiography

- Calculations for Inverse Square Law andradiation attenuation in water

- Emergency procedures and discussion of incidents- Results of field audits- Dosimetry results- Annual audit findings- Transportation procedures for radioactive materials- Equipment maintenance- Radiation survey techniques- Radiation safety principles- Security of radioactive sources- Maintenance of restricted areas.

10. An audit of the radiation safety program will be conducted bymanagement on an annual basis in accordance with 10 CFR20.1101 and 10 CFR 34.43(e).

11. To be provided by Dr. Crihan.

Examples:

- NDS Model ND-2000- Xetex Model with underwater housing

12. Attached is a diagram indicating the storage facility to beused by Megarad, Inc. for their radiographic exposure devices.Access to the camera will require two keys; the key to theoutside door of the storage facility and a key to the storagecabinet. These keys will be maintained by Megarad, Inc. Foremergency purposes, keys to Megarad's storage facility will bein a lock box in the possession of Mr. John T. Springer,Director of Hellier NDT operations and will only be given outin case of emergency at the Hellier NDT, Cramer and LindellDivision facility.

6. In the event that a dosimeter reading is off scale,the procedures are as follows:

Cease radiographic operations immediately.Notify Radiation Safety Officer.Film badge or TLD will be immediately sent tovendor for analysis.

7. In the event that a ratemeter alarms, the procedures areas follows:

- Cease radiographic operations immediately.- A survey of the area will be made to determine

the presence of a high radiation field.- If a high radiation area is confirmed, the

diver/radiographer will immediately leave thearea and notify the RSO.

- Record dosimeter reading of thediver/radiographers.

16. In Company Procedures Manual, Section II, Paragraph 11 will be

added as follows:

11. Defects

All defects in radiographic exposure deviceand associated equipment, as discovered by theradiographer or assistant, will be immediatelyreported to the Radiation Safety Officer. The
