Kan. Admin. Regs. § 28-35-342 - Preoperational and use requirements
(a) Preoperational
agreements. A licensee shall not perform any wireline service operation with a
sealed source or source unless, before commencement of the operation, the
licensee has a written agreement with the well operator, well owner, drilling
contractor, or land owner stating the following:
(1) If a sealed source is lodged downhole, a
reasonable effort at recovery will be made.
(2) No person will attempt to recover a
sealed source in a manner that, in the licensee's opinion, could result in a
rupture of the sealed source.
(3)
If a decision is made to abandon the sealed source downhole, the requirements
of K.A.R. 28-35-362(c) will be met.
(b) Limits on levels of radiation. All
sources of radiation shall be used, stored, and transported so that the
transportation and the dose limitation requirements of these regulations are
met.
(c) Uranium sinker bars. Any
licensee may use a uranium sinker bar in well-logging applications only if the
sinker bar is legibly impressed with these words: "CAUTION RADIOACTIVE DEPLETED
URANIUM" and "NOTIFY CIVIL AUTHORITIES [or COMPANY NAME] IF FOUND."
(d) Energy compensation source. Any licensee
may use either an energy compensation source (ECS) contained within a logging
tool or other tool components, if the ECS contains quantities of licensed
material not exceeding 3.7 Mbq (100 microcuries).
(e) Use of sealed source in a well
without a surface casing. Any licensee may use a sealed source in a well
without a surface casing for protecting freshwater aquifers if the licensee
follows a procedure for reducing the probability that the source will become
lodged in the well. This procedure shall be required to be approved by the U.S.
nuclear regulatory commission or by an agreement state before the licensee uses
the procedure.
(f) Use of a
tritium neutron generator target source.
(1)
Each licensee who uses a tritium neutron generator target source that contains
a total quantity of tritium not exceeding 1,110 Mbq (30 curies) and is located
in a well with a surface casing to protect freshwater aquifers shall be subject
to the requirements of this part, excluding K.A.R. 28-35-349 and K.A.R.
28-35-362.
(2) Each licensee who
uses a tritium neutron generator target source that contains a total quantity
of tritium exceeding 1,110 Mbq (30 curies) or is located in a well without a
surface casing to protect freshwater aquifers shall be subject to the
requirements of this part, excluding K.A.R. 28-35-349.
