1.4  Beta Radiation Safety Statement 

The Met One Instruments E-BAM contains a small 

14

C (Carbon 14) beta radiation-emitting source. 

The nominal activity of the source is 60 micro

curies, which is below the “Exempt Concentration 

Limit” as defined in 10 CFR Section 30.71 – Schedule B. The owner of an E-BAM is not required to 
obtain any license in the United States to own or operate the unit. The owner of an E-BAM may 
elect to return the entire unit to Met One Instruments for recycling of the 

14

C source when the unit 

has reached the end of its service life, although the owner is under no obligation to do so. Under no 
circumstances should anyone but factory technicians attempt to remove or access the beta source. 
The beta source has a half-life of about 5730 years and should never need to be replaced unless it 
becomes damaged or corroded. Neither the 

14

C source nor the beta particle detector are 

serviceable in the field. Should these components require repair or replacement, the E-BAM must 
be returned to the factory for service and recalibration. The E-BAM is manufactured in compliance 
with the U.S. NRC safety criteria in 10 CFR 32.27.
