Sealed source definition

Sealed source means any radioactive material that is encased in a capsule designed to prevent leakage or escape of the radioactive material.
Sealed source means radioactive material that is permanently bonded or fixed in a capsule or matrix designed to prevent release and dispersal of the radioactive material under the most severe conditions which are likely to be encountered in normal use and handling.
Sealed source means any encapsulated radioactive material, which has been constructed in such a manner as to prevent the escape of any radioactive material.

Examples of Sealed source in a sentence

  • Sealed source leak tests are used to confirm and document the integrity of the source encapsulation and the absence of contamination.

  • Sealed source means any byproduct material that is encased in a capsule designed to prevent leakage or escape of the byproduct material.

  • Sealed source means any licensed material that is encased in a capsule designed to prevent leakage or escape of the licensed material.

  • Sealed source disposal arrangements between private entities (such as licensed users, brokers, transporters, and disposal facilities) should function efficiently and effectively without government involvement beyond the regulatory frameworks and supporting activities that ensure the security, health, and safety of licensees and the public.
