(1) A
licensee shall only administer radioactive aerosols or gases when airborne
concentrations are within the limits prescribed by State of Florida Bureau of
Radiation Control ALIs, DACs, and Effluent Concentrations, June 2012, (see Rule
64E-5.101, F.A.C.) Table I,
Column 3, and Table II.
(2) The
system shall either be directly vented to the atmosphere through an air exhaust
or provide for collection and decay or disposal of the aerosol or gas in a
shielded container.
(3) A 1icensee
shall only administer radioactive gases in rooms that are at negative pressure
compared to surrounding rooms.
(4)
Before receiving, using, or storing radioactive gas, the licensee shall
calculate the time needed after a release to reduce the concentration in the
area of use to the occupational limit listed in State of Florida Bureau of
Radiation Control ALIs, DACs, and Effluent Concentrations, June 2012. The
calculation shall be based on the highest activity of gas handled in a single
container and the measured available air exhaust rate.
(5) A licensee shall post the time calculated
in subsection
64E-5.629(4),
F.A.C., at the area of use and require that individuals evacuate the room until
the posted time has elapsed if a gas spill occurs.
(6) A licensee shall check the operation of
collection systems prior to use each month of use and measure the ventilation
rates in areas of use every 6 months. Records of these checks and measurements
shall be maintained for 3 years.
(7) A copy of the calculations required in
subsection
64E-5.629(4),
F.A.C., shall be recorded and retained for the duration of the
license.
