(1) The licensee
shall have instruments available to detect radioactive materials listed on the
license, unless otherwise authorized by the department. Instrumentation shall
be sensitive enough to detect activities required for adequate contamination
control described in this part.
(2)
The licensee must submit a description of the equipment and procedures to be
followed in measuring contamination for departmental approval. These procedures
shall include the following:
(a) Type of
instrument detection system used, such as a Geiger-Mueller or scintillation
detector with a scaler, single or multichannel analyzer, and type of radiation
detected;
(b) Background counting
times and average background counts;
(c) Sample counting times;
(d) Instrument efficiency and calculation of
efficiency determination;
(e)
Instrument's lower limit of detection using the sample counting time and the
isotope and activity of calibration standards;
(f) Sample calculation converting counting
results into activity or activity per unit time, if applicable; and,
(g) Frequency of instrument
calibration.
(3) If
portable radiation survey instruments are used to determine compliance with the
contamination control action levels described in this part, the instruments
shall be operable and calibrated as provided in Rule
64E-5.314,
F.A.C.
