BACKGROUND DISCUSSION
The ignition exciter is a gas turbine component that produces high electrical charge which is carried to the spark plugs via
ignition leads. Gas turbines are typically equipped with an ignition exciter containing (2) two spark gaps, as shown in
Figure 1 & 2. Each spark gap contains radioactive Krypton-85 gas sealed in a glass tube. The gas helps stabilize the
high electric charge sent from the exciter to the spark plugs.

Figure 1: Ignition Exciter Figure 2: Spark Gap

The potential safety or exposure risk is negligible given the actual radiation levels as determined by testing and
analysis, the type of radiation emitted, and its location within a closed ionization chamber.

There are two options moving forward with the ignition exciters, as follows:

Option 1
The number of gas turbines at a site location multiplied by the number of exciters and spark gaps present may require
the end user to obtain a license, permit or other regulatory approval, authorizing possession and/or use of material. In
addition, there are international requirements for transport by air or sea (unless an exception applies).

Option 2
A new non-radioactive solid-state ignition exciter has been qualified and integrated into all new unit gas turbine ignition
systems. We will no longer be offering the legacy radioactive exciter for new unit and replacement parts.

The new solid-state technology does not contain radioactive material.

The new solid-state ignition exciter component has been configured to be a direct 1 to 1 replacement for all
legacy exciters.
As the new exciter is configured to be a direct replacement, no other hardware changes are required to existing
ignition system components such as leads, plugs, etc.
The legacy radioactive exciter is obsoleted and will no longer be available by GE Power or Unison Industries.
For disposal of legacy radioactive ignition exciters, customers can contact Unison Industries directly per Unison
Letter dated 6 March 2017 attached at the end of this TIL or dispose of the radioactive material in accordance with
national regulatory requirements. Customers shipping exciters to Unison Industries, USA for disposal need to
observe national regulatory requirements for export and transport of radioactive materials if applicable. See
Unison JP00382-14 attached at the end of this TIL for information.

 Description

General – Spark gaps (also called “electron tubes”) manufactured by Unison

Industries are hermetically sealed, gas-filled switches with breakdown voltages
ranging from 0.9 to 5.0 kVDC. The spark gap consists of a glass tube, metal end plates
containing sparking electrodes, a filler gas, and the radioactive source
Krypton 85 (85Kr), which is mixed with the filler gas. By incorporating a very small
quantity of 85Kr within these spark gaps, consistent ionization and de-ionization levels
can be obtained, resulting in stable operation of the ignition units. It is not possible to
achieve consistent ionization/de-ionization levels or the desired life expectancy with air
Inch gaps. Each spark gap is marked on the glass tube with “UNISON”, “59501” (the
company’s Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code), the part number plus
revision letter, “KR-85” and the manufacturing date code.

Most ignition exciters contain one, two, or three spark gaps (not all ignition exciters contain spark gaps). Different spark
gap part numbers contain unique amounts of radioactivity. The gaps are manufactured using gas compositions controlled
by engineering specifications where the required specific activity of 85Kr is specified as millicuries per liter of gas mixture.
This, along with the spark gap volume and gas mixture pressure determines the radioactivity of the spark gap. The
radioactive concentration of 85Kr in the spark gap filler gas is greater than 100 kilo-becquerel per gram (kBq/g) for all spark
gaps manufactured by Unison Industries. All spark gaps currently manufactured by Unison Industries have 85Kr
radioactivity ranging from 1.4 kBq (0.04 microcurie) to 161.6 kBq (4.37 microcurie).

Design/Qualification – Ignition exciters designed by Unison Industries are subjected to environmental substantiation
testing to verify that the spark gap will remain intact and that the byproduct material will not be released to the environment
under the most severe environmental conditions likely to be encountered in normal use of the product.

Manufacturing – Quality control procedures employed in the fabrication and testing of production-released spark gaps
are in accordance with Quality Standard AS9100.

Authorization to Distribute – The authorized use per USNRC license 09-23745-01E (Unison Industries is the licensee)
is as follows: “Pursuant to Section 32.14, 10 CFR Part 32, “Specific Domestic Licenses to Manufacture or Transfer Certain
Items Containing Byproduct Material”; the licensee is authorized to distribute electron and spark gap tubes containing not
greater than 30 microcuries of 85Kr to persons exempt from the requirements for a license pursuant to Section 30.15, 10
CFR Part 30, or equivalent provisions of the regulations of any Agreement State.”

Transportation - Spark gaps (and ignition exciters containing spark gaps) shall be shipped in accordance with
49 CFR 173 requirements.

Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) - Unison Industries does not produce Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for
their articles. Per 29CFR, Standard 1910.1200, MSDS are not required for “articles.” The code defines “article” as: “a
manufactured item other than a fluid or particle: (i) which is formed to a specific shape or design during manufacture; (ii)
which has end use function(s) dependent in whole or in part upon its shape or design during end use; and (iii) which
under normal conditions of use does not release more than very small quantities, e.g., minute or trace amounts of a
hazardous chemical (as determined under paragraph (d) of this section), and does not pose a physical hazard or health
risk to employees.” This Product Support Letter contains all the information necessary for the safe handling of spark
gaps and associated ignition exciters.

Product/Operational Hazards

Radioactivity – Spark gaps contain a small quantity of radioactive krypton gas (85Kr). 85Kr emits a 0.67 MeV beta particle
(Emax) with a 99+ percent yield and a 0.514 MeV gamma ray with a 0.4 percent yield. In addition, a small amount
(approximately 10-4 to 10-3) of X-rays are produced via the bremsstrahlung process. Thus, the dose-rate due to 85Kr is
primarily (approximately 98 percent) beta radiation. The radioactive emissions are effectively contained within the spark
gap, presenting no hazard during handling.

The following quantities of radioactivity and radiation level for each spark gap are not exceeded: 161.6 kBq
(4.37 microcurie) 85Kr, and an absorbed dose rate of 0.0036 milligray (mGy)/h (0.36 millirad/h) at 1 centimeter from any
surface when measured through 7 mg/cm2 of absorber. In addition, the radiation level at 10 cm from any point on the
external surface of the ignition exciter is no greater than the naturally occurring background, 0.1 microsievert (µSv)/h.
Reports documenting the abovementioned spark gap dose rate and ignition exciter radiation are on file at Unison
Industries’ Radiation Safety Office.

High Voltage – Spark gaps operate at high voltages but pose no shock hazard when operating within an enclosed ignition
exciter.

Transportation Hazards

Radioactivity – Spark gaps and ignition exciters containing spark gaps may be transported under exception (Radioactive
Material - Excepted Package) providing the total consignment does not have a radioactivity level greater than 10 giga-
becquerels (0.27 curies). Since each spark gap has a maximum radioactivity of 161.6 kBq (4.37 microcurie), up to 61000
spark gaps may be transported in a single consignment providing no other radioactive materials are included therein. At
the spark gap level, the item is identified as “Radioactive material, excepted package - article, UN2911.” When shipped
as an exciter containing a spark gap, the item is identified as “Radioactive material, excepted package - instrument,
UN2911.” No Dangerous Goods shipping declaration is required when Unison Industries ships these items to destinations
outside the United States.

Radiation level at package surface will not exceed 0.5 mrem/hr and the level at 10 cm from unpackaged exciter or spark
gap will not exceed 10 mrem/hr. No surface contamination is expected.

Due to the ultimate use of the exciter in the rigorous environment of an engine, the spark gap is installed inside the exciter
in a very protective environment. The spark gap installed inside the exciter meets at least an equivalent level of safety
for withstanding conditions normally incident to transportation.

Decommissioning/Disposal

Spark gaps are replaceable components of the electrical circuit for repairable ignition exciters. Instruction for the proper
removal/replacement of the spark gap is outlined in the applicable exciter-specific Maintenance Manual.

There are no additional hazards associated with decommissioning beyond possible cut hazards due to glass breakage.
The spark gap contains a glass tube that may be broken if dropped or stressed during installation or removal. If the tube
is broken, sharp glass shards will be present. Used spark gaps should be placed in a suitable container to reduce the risk
of breakage prior to being removed to a disposal facility. In the event of breakage, the gas will dissipate rapidly and will
not expose persons in the vicinity to a hazardous level of radiation. The remaining material from a broken spark gap is
not radioactive and may be disposed of as regular electronic waste.

Unison takes pride in the quality of the products we sell and offering great customer service is our top priority. If you have
spark gaps that require decommissioning, please see the letter at the end of this appendix.

NOTE

Spark gaps manufactured before 1974 were produced with Cesium-137 (137Cs) fused as a solid to the inside of the glass
envelope. These can be identified by the magenta-colored radiation symbol or the label “CS-137” printed on the spark
gap. A large quantity of these gaps stored together can yield a radiation dose in excess of 0.02 milligray (mGy)/h
(2 millirad/h) at the surface of the storage container. Therefore, it is recommended that a person handle no more than
six 137Cs spark gaps at one time unless they are shielded by radiation absorbing material. In the event that a 137Cs spark
gap breaks, care must be taken to avoid contact with or dispersion of the radioactive material. The radiation emission
described herein refers to individual spark gaps. Physical separation of the spark gaps inside exciter units, and absorption
of radiation by the exciter components, reduces the dose rate at the exciter surface to a level well below the maximum
permissible exposure no matter how many units are stored together.
