- Description
- Picture of the Unit BT9 Drawing The purpose of modificiaton 001 is to provide vendor questions and the technical representative's response. Please see below: Q1. Are the activation products in the BT9 drum possessed under NIST's U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission License? R1. Yes, IAW NCNR's TR-5 License Q2. What is the estimate of radionuclide concentrations within tht BT9 Drum for manifesting and waste prfiling purposes? R2. The activity is estimated to be 1.3 milliCi of Co-60. The estimated Co-60 activity was calculated using the maximum dose rate at 1 foot from the drum (0.90 mrem/hour) and assumed the radiation was emitted from a point source in the middle of the drum. Nuclide identification was done through gamma spectroscopy. Q3. Provide a drawing or verbal description of the internal structure and physical components of the BT9 Drum, including materials (e.g., thicknesses of steel, lead). R3. A drawing has been attached for dimensions. Major constituents: Lead (99% pure), steel borated poly and boral (borated aluminum) Q4. Will NIST provide personnel and equipment to load the BT9 Drum onto the transport vehicle? R4. Yes. NIST will supply personnel and equipment to load the drum onto an open sided flat bed truck Q5. Section II.b.1 of the solicitation states that the BT9 Drum contains lead but does not contain RCRA-hazardous materials. On what basis has NIST concluded that no RCRA-hazardous materials are present? R5. The lead in its current state would pass the characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP: Method-1311). However, it is unknown what the outcome of the test would be if the item's physical state was changed in any way. NOTE - for the purposes of the TCLP test, the lead concentration of the entire object being discared is measured Q6. What are the approximae measurements of the neutron shield to be removed? R6. A drawing has been attached which provides the dimensions. Please review the drawing Q7. What sort of access for removal is there? Hallways, elevators, loading dock? R7. Yes. NIST will supply personnel and equipment to load the drum onto an open sided flatbed truck Q8. Is a site visit to view unit possible? R8. A photograph of the unit has been attached to this solicitation which should provide the same information as would be obtained through a site visit
