Columbia Generating Station response:

We distinguish exempt and non -exempt in our Source Tracking System and, for 
exempt sources, by adding an "E" after the source tracking number (e.g., 
14-001E) included in our source labels.

The distinction is made on the basis of 10CFR30.70 and 30.71.  We also 
distinguish the type of labeling required (i.e., 10 CFR 20.1904-required 
information vs RAM sticker) on source containers based on 10CFR20 Appendix C 
quantities or Appendix B, Table 3 concentrations

We inventory our non-exempt sources semi-annually, and include the exempt 
sources every two years.

Subject: Powernet: Non-exempt radioactive sources

DCPP would like to know the following regarding non-exempt radioactive sources 
at your site:


1.    Does your site make a distinction procedurally or physically, (such as a 
different marking), between exempt and non-exempt radioactive sources?

2.    If so, what limit do you use as the basis for identifying a source as 
non-exempt?
 (i.e., 10 CFR 30.70/71, 10 CFR 20 Appendix C, etc.)

3.    If so, what is the distinction used (marking, location, procedural 
controls, etc.)?
