Authority: IC 16-41-35-26; IC 16-41-35-29
Affected: IC 16-41-35
Sec. 5.
(a)
Procedures. Normal operating procedures shall be written and available to all
analytical x-ray equipment workers. No person shall be permitted to operate
analytical x-ray equipment in any manner other than that specified in the
procedures unless such person has obtained written approval of the radiation
safety officer.
(b) Bypassing. No
person shall bypass a safety device unless such person has obtained the
approval of the radiation safety officer. Such approval shall be for a
specified period of time. When a safety device has been bypassed, a readily
discernible sign bearing the words "SAFETY DEVICE NOT WORKING," or words having
a similar intent, shall be placed on the radiation source housing.
(c) Repair or Modification of X-Ray Tube
Systems. Except as specified in 410 IAC 5-8-5(b), no operation involving
removal of covers, shielding materials or tube housings or modifications to
shutters, collimators, or beam stops shall be performed without ascertaining
that the tube is off and will remain off until safe conditions have been
restored. The main switch, rather than interlocks, shall be used for routine
shutdown in preparation for repairs.
(d) Radioactive Source Replacement, Testing
or Repair. Radioactive source housings shall be opened for source replacement,
leak testing or other maintenance or repair procedures only by individuals
authorized to specifically conduct such procedures under a license issued by
the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, an agreement state or a licensing
state.
