(a)
Entrance controls.
Permanent radiographic installations having high radiation area entrance
controls of the types described in
10 CFR
20.1601 and
20.1902 (relating to control of
access to high radiation areas; and posting requirements) must also meet the
following requirements:
(1) Each entrance
that is used for personnel access to the high radiation area in a permanent
radiographic installation must have both visible and audible warning signals to
warn of the presence of radiation. The visible signal shall be activated by
radiation whenever the X-ray source is energized. The audible signal shall be
activated when an attempt is made to enter the installation while the X-ray
source is energized.
(2) The
entrance control device or alarm system shall be tested for proper function
prior to beginning operations on each day of use.
(3) The industrial radiographic system may
not be used if an entrance control device or alarm system is not operating
properly. If an entrance control device or alarm system is not functioning
properly, it shall be removed from service and repaired or replaced
immediately. If no replacement is available, the facility may continue to be
used if the registrant implements the continuous surveillance under
10 CFR
34.51 and
34.53 (relating to surveillance;
and posting), §
225.85 (relating to surveys and
survey records) and uses an alarming ratemeter. Before the entrance control
device or alarm system is returned to service, the RSO or an individual
designated by the RSO shall validate the repair.
(b)
Records. Records of the
tests performed under subsection (a) shall be maintained for inspection by the
Department for 5 years.
