produced at the facility . Such equipment must be tested for proper operation
daily and calibrated at intervals not to exceed one year and after each
servicing and repair.
(2) A
radiation protection survey must be performed and documented by a qualified
expert, acceptable to the Authority, when changes have been made in shielding,
operation, equipment or occupancy of adjacent areas.
(3) Radiation levels in all high radiation
areas must be continuously monitored. The monitoring devices must be
electrically independent of the accelerator control and safety interlock
systems and capable of providing a readout at the control panel.
(4) All area monitors must be calibrated at
intervals not to exceed one year and after each servicing and repair.
(5) Whenever applicable, periodic surveys
must be made to determine the amount of airborne particulate radioactivity
present.
(6) Whenever applicable,
