Tom,
I agree with you that the requirements of 10CFR20.1904 apply to the labeling of the sealed sources by ensuring that that “each container of licensed material bears a durable, clearly visible label bearing the radiation symbol and the words "CAUTION, RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL" or "DANGER, RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL.”
The locked cabinet posted with a "Caution Radioactive Material" sign meets the requirements of preventing unauthorized access and/or removal and the sign on the cabinet also meets the requirements of Part 19.12 Instruction to workers “(a) All individuals who in the course of employment are likely to receive in a year an occupational dose in excess of 100 mrem shall be--(1) Kept informed of the storage, transfer, or use of radiation and/or radioactive material;”

Subject: Powernet: Sealed Source Labeling Question
Recently at Fermi a CR was initiated for labeling of sealed source "containers." The CR states that sealed sources at Fermi are not labeled and controlled in accordance with 10CFR20.1904. The sources in question are individually labeled in accordance with 10CFR20.1904 by the manufacturer and stored in a locked cabinet and posted with a "Caution Radioactive Material" sign. The initiator of the CR contends that the cabinet is the "container" and thus must be labeled on out the outside in accordance 10CFR20.1904. I contend that the sealed source's encapsulation is the container. Can I get a sanity peer check on this please.
Thank you in advance,

Wolf Creek is requesting information for the following questions:
What type of radiation survey software does your site use? Currently surveys are documented on paper. We have completed testing and training on VSDS and hope to implement this year.
Do you train contract personnel to use this software? No, once we implement VSDS we will train our supplementals.
Is your radiation survey software required for all surveys performed, or do you allow special circumstances to write them by hand? (Excluding the obvious, computer system down). Once implemented, we will used the electronic survey program but can use hand written surveys if needed.
Are your surveys available for all site personnel to view once the survey is complete? Once VSDS is implemented it will be available for review by the site once the surveys have been approved.
Please state any future plans you might have regarding survey software changes or updates.
