Sec. 3.
As used in 410 IAC 5-5, the following definitions
apply:
"ANSI" means the American National Standards Institute.
"Enclosed radiography" means industrial radiography conducted
in an enclosed cabinet or room and includes cabinet radiography and shielded
room radiography.
(1) "
Cabinet
radiography" means
industrial radiography conducted in an enclosure or cabinet
so shielded that every location on the exterior meets the limitations specified
in
410
IAC 5-4-6.
(i)
"Cabinet x-ray system" means an x-ray system with the x-ray tube installed in
an enclosure (hereinafter termed "cabinet") which, independent of existing
architectural structures except the floor on which it may be placed, is
intended to contain at least that portion of a material being irradiated,
provide radiation attenuation, and exclude personnel from its interior during
generation of x-radiation. Included are all x-ray systems designed primarily
for the inspection of carry-on baggage at airlines, railroads, bus terminals,
and in similar facilities. An x-ray tube used within a shielded part of a
building, or x-ray equipment which may temporarily or occasionally incorporate
portable shielding is not considered a cabinet x-ray system.
(ii) "
Certified cabinet x-ray system" means
an x-ray system which has been certified in accordance with 21 CFR
1010.2 as
being manufactured and assembled pursuant to the provisions of 21 CFR
1020.40.
(2)
"
Shielded-room radiography" means
industrial radiography conducted in a room so
shielded that radiation levels at every location on the exterior meet the
limitations specified in
410
IAC 5-4-6.
"Gamma radiography" means industrial radiography using
radioactive material that emits gamma rays (i.e., Ir 192, Co 60, Cs
137).
"Industrial radiography" means the use of penetrating
radiation, such as x-rays, gamma rays, or neutrons, to make pictures of the
insides of objects (i.e., metal castings or welds).
"Ionizing radiation gauging device" (gauge) means a mechanism
designed and manufactured for the purpose of determining or controlling
thickness, density, level, interface location, or qualitative or quantitative
chemical composition.
"NARM" means any naturally occurring or accelerator produced
radioactive material. It does not include by-product, source, or special
nuclear material.
"Permanent radiographic installation" means an installation
or structure designed or intended for radiography and in which radiography is
regularly performed.
"Personal supervision" means supervision such that the
supervisor is physically present at the site where sources of radiation and
associated equipment are being used, watching the performance of the
radiographer's assistant and in such proximity that contact can be maintained
and immediate assistance given as required.
"Radiographer" means any individual who performs or provides
personal supervision of industrial radiographic operations and who is
responsible to the licensee or registrant for assuring compliance with the
requirements of 410 IAC 5 and all license (and/or registration)
conditions.
"Radiographer's assistant" means any individual who, under
the personal supervision of a radiographer, uses sources of radiation, related
handling tools, or radiation survey instruments in industrial
radiography.
"Radiographic exposure device" means any instrument
containing a sealed source fastened or contained therein, in which the sealed
source or shielding thereof may be moved, or otherwise changed, from a shielded
to unshielded position for purposes of making a radiographic exposure.
"Shielded position" means the location within the
radiographic exposure device or storage container which, by manufacturer's
design, is the proper location for storage of the sealed source.
"Source changer" means a device designed and used for
replacement of sealed sources in radiographic exposure devices, including those
source changers also used for transporting and storage of sealed
sources.
"Storage container" means a device in which sealed sources
are transported or stored.
"Temporary job site" means any location where industrial
radiography is performed other than the location(s) listed in a specific
license or certificate of registration.
