Kan. Admin. Regs. § 28-35-298 - Area requirements
(a) Radiation
levels. The local components of an analytical X-ray system shall be located and
arranged and shall include sufficient shielding or access control so that no
radiation levels exist in any area surrounding the local component group that
could result in a dose to an individual present therein in excess of the dose
limits specified in K.A.R. 28-35-214a. For systems utilizing X-ray tubes, these
levels shall be met at each specified tube rating.
(b) Surveys. Radiation surveys, as specified
in K.A.R. 28-35-139(a), of all analytical X-ray systems sufficient to show
compliance with K.A.R. 28-35-298(a) shall be performed as follows:
(1) At the time of installation of the
equipment;
(2) following any
change in the initial arrangement, number, or type of local components in the
system;
(3) following any
maintenance requiring the disassembly or removal of a local component in the
system;
(4) during the performance
of maintenance and alignment procedures if the procedures require the presence
of a primary X-ray beam when any local component in the system is disassembled
or removed;
(5) any time a visual
inspection of the local components in the system reveals an abnormal condition;
and
(6) whenever
personnel-monitoring devices show a significant increase over the previous
monitoring period or the readings are approaching the limits specified in these
regulations.
(c)
Posting. Each area or room containing analytical X-ray equipment shall be
conspicuously posted with a sign or signs bearing the radiation symbol and the
words "CAUTION X-RAY EQUIPMENT," or words having a similar meaning.
