E.6.3 Requirements.

E.6.3.1 When conducting wipe testing for Hydrogen-3 (Tritium) and Nickel-63, the suitable filter for liquid scintillation (LS) is a cellulose nitrate filter which dissolves or becomes transparent when mixed with LS fluid. Use only one type of filter and ensure that the liquid scintillation counter is calibrated using the same type of filter for background as is used to take all the nickel and tritium wipes. Dampen the filter (with distilled water) prior to wiping the device.

Revision: 14 April 2021

The suitable filter paper for Americium-241 (Am-241) is a pressure-sensitive smear.

E.6.3.2 Using moderate finger pressure, wipe the radioactive surface (not to exceed a 4 by 4-inch square) of the device with filter paper.

(i) For tritium devices, the radioactive surface is the external area adjacent to the source(s).

(ii) When performing this procedure on the Chemical Agent Monitor (CAM)(Nickel-63), the area to be wiped is the exterior surface of the

CAM around the protective cap of the nozzle.

(iii) For the M43A1 Chemical Agent Detector (Americium-241), separate the top case assembly from the bottom case assembly. There are two areas which shall be wiped with a single wipe - the exposed area of the cell module and the area around the exit port.

E.6.3.3 Place wiped filter papers for Hydrogen-3 (Tritium) & Nickel-63 items in scintillation counter vials with 1 ml of distilled water. For Am-241 wipes place each filter into a sealable plastic bag. Assure the bags or vials are identified and traceable to the item tested.

E.6.3.4 Prepare the wipe for analysis according to the filter used. These analysis procedures shall be operated in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.

(i) Wipe analysis for Hydrogen-3 (Tritium) & Nickel-63 items shall be analyzed on a liquid scintillation counter. Operate the liquid scintillation counter in accordance with the documents cited in paragraph (b) above.

(ii) Wipe analysis for the M43A1 Chemical Agent Detector shall be analyzed by a gas flow proportional counting system or equivalent alpha detection instrumentation. The gas flow proportional counting system used to evaluate wipe tests shall be calibrated by an alpha reference source traceable to the National Institute of Standards & Technology at least every three months and checked by an alpha reference source prior to each days operational.

(iii) Prior to selection of the wipe test sample, the lot shall have met all other contract requirements. A sample shall not be submitted from the rejected lot unless authorized by the Contracting Officer.

(iv) Sample units shall be randomly selected from the entire lot by the Government Quality Assurance Representative.

E.6.3.8 The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requires radiation exposures to be as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA), see 10 CFR

20.1101. But, in any case, failure of any sample unit to meet the maximum activity level of no more than 1,000 Disintegrations per

Minute shall be cause for the Government to halt further product acceptance and for the Contractor to immediately perform a failure analysis and take corrective action. The failure analysis, in addition to isolating the root cause of the excessive activity level, shall include the Contractor's assessment with rationale as to the extent the condition is present in both the process and delivered product (i.e., identification of the suspected items). The Contractor's corrective action shall address the positive measures taken to prevent the recurrence of the condition in the future as well as corrective actions to be taken on all suspect products. Both the failure analysis and corrective action shall be subject to review and approval by the Government prior to re-initiation of Government product acceptance.

E.6.3.9 The independent testing laboratory employed by the Contractor must be licensed by the NRC or the applicable NRC Agreement State, or by the equivalent regulatory agency when the independent testing laboratory is located outside the United States. The subcontracting under this solicitation and the resulting contract is open to competition between Department of Defense activities and private firms.
