(1) Each licensee or registrant shall make,
or cause to be made, surveys that:
a. Are
necessary for the licensee or registrant to comply with this chapter;
and
b. Are necessary under the
circumstances to evaluate:
(1) The magnitude
and extent of radiation levels; and
(2) Concentrations or quantities of
radioactive material ; and
(3) The
potential radiological hazards that could be present.
(2) The licensee or registrant
shall ensure that instruments and equipment used for quantitative radiation
measurements, for example, dose rate and effluent monitoring, are calibrated at
intervals not to exceed 12 months for the radiation measured except when a more
frequent interval is specified in another applicable part of these rules or a
license condition.
(3) All
personnel dosimeters, except for direct and indirect reading pocket ionization
chambers and those dosimeters used to measure the dose to any extremity, that
require processing to determine the radiation dose and that are used by
licensees and registrants to comply with 40.15(136C), with other applicable
provisions of these rules, or with conditions specified in a license or
registration shall be processed and evaluated by a dosimetry processor:
a. Holding current personnel dosimetry
accreditation from the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program
(NVLAP) of the National Institute of Standards and Technology; and
b. Approved in this accreditation process for
the type of radiation or radiations included in the NVLAP program that most
closely approximates the type of radiation or radiations for which the
individual wearing the dosimeter is monitored.
(4) The licensee or registrant shall ensure
that adequate precautions are taken to prevent a deceptive exposure of an
individual monitoring device.
(5)
After replacement, each personnel dosimeter must be sent for processing as soon
as possible.
