Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 64E-5.1411 - Irradiator Pools
(1) For licenses
initially issued after 8-14-96, irradiator pools must possess a watertight
stainless steel liner or a liner metallurgically compatible with other
components in the pool or be constructed so that there is a low likelihood of
substantial leakage and have a surface designed to facilitate decontamination
and must include a means of safely storing sources during repairs of the
pool.
(2) For licenses initially
issued after 8-14-96, irradiator pools must have no penetration more than 0.5
meter below the normal low water level which could allow water to drain out of
the pool. Pipes which have intakes more than 0.5 meter below the normal low
water level must have siphon breakers to prevent the siphoning of the
pool.
(3) A means must be provided
to replenish water losses from the pool.
(4) An audible and visible indicator must be
provided to indicate if the pool water level is below the normal low water
level or above the normal high water level.
(5) Irradiator pools must be equipped with a
purification system designed to maintain the water during normal operation at a
level of conductance not exceeding 20 microsiemens per centimeter and with a
clarity so the sources can be seen clearly.
(6) A physical barrier such as a railing or
cover must be used around irradiator pools during normal operation to prevent
personnel from accidentally falling into the pool. The barrier can be removed
during maintenance, inspection, and service operations.
(7) If long-handled tools or poles are used
in irradiator pools, the radiation dose rate on the handling areas of the tools
must not exceed 2 millirem (0.02 millisievert) per hour.
