Kan. Admin. Regs. § 28-35-318 - Radiation monitoring requirements
(a) Each particle
accelerator facility registrant shall have available the appropriate portable
monitoring equipment that is operable and is calibrated for the appropriate
types and levels of radiation being produced at the facility. The equipment
shall be tested for proper operation daily and calibrated at intervals not to
exceed one year, and after each servicing or repair.
(b) A radiation protection survey shall be
performed and documented by a qualified expert acceptable to the department
each time that changes have been made in the shielding, operation, or
equipment, or in the occupancy of adjacent areas.
(c) Radiation levels in each high-radiation
area shall be continuously monitored. Each monitoring device shall be
electrically independent of the accelerator control and interlock systems and
capable of providing a remote and local readout with visual alarms or audible
alarms, or both, at both the control panel and the entrance to high-radiation
areas, and other appropriate locations, so that people entering or present
become aware of the existence of the hazard.
(d) All area monitors shall be calibrated at
intervals not to exceed one year, and after each servicing or repair.
(e) Whenever applicable, the
registrant shall make periodic surveys to determine the amount of airborne
particulate radioactivity present in areas of airborne hazards.
(f) Whenever applicable, the registrant shall
make periodic smear surveys to determine the degree of contamination in target
and other pertinent areas.
(g) All
area surveys shall be made in accordance with the written procedures
established by a qualified expert or by the radiation safety officer of the
particle accelerator facility.
(h)
Records of all radiation protection surveys, calibration results,
instrumentation tests, and smear results shall be kept current and on file at
each accelerator facility.
