Ariz. Admin. Code § R9-7-807 - Surveys

A. To ensure that personnel exposure does not result in a dose to an individual that exceeds the dose limits specified in Article 4, a registrant shall perform a radiation survey upon:

1. Installation of the equipment and at least once each year after installation;

2. Change in the initial arrangement, number, or type of local components in the system;

3. Maintenance that involves disassembly or removal of a local component in the system;

4. Maintenance that involves alignment, if alignment requires the generation of the primary x-ray beam while any local component of the system is disassembled or removed;

5. A visual inspection of the local components in the system that reveals an abnormal condition; or

6. Determination that personnel are being exposed to radiation in excess of established levels recorded in monitoring records for personnel during previous monitoring periods or the occupational dose limits specified in Article 4.

B. The radiation surveys in subsection (A) are not required if the registrant demonstrates that the local components of an analytical x-ray system are located and arranged, and have sufficient shielding or access control, to limit personnel exposure to a level that is ALARA and below the occupational dose limits in Article 4. The Department shall determine ALARA radiation levels based on the specified x-ray tube rating.
