Section 410IAC5-5-17. Surveys; records

 

                                (a) No radiographic operation shall be conducted unless calibrated and operable radiation survey instrumentation as described in 410 IAC 5-5-9 is available and used at each site where radiographic exposures are made.

                                (b) A physical radiation survey shall be made after each radiographic exposure utilizing radiographic exposure devices or sealed sources of radioactive material to determine that the sealed source has been returned to its shielded position. The entire circumference of the radiographic exposure device shall be surveyed. If the radiographic exposure device has a source guide tube, the survey shall also include the guide tube.

                                (c) A physical radiation survey shall be made to determine that each sealed source is in its shielded position prior to securing the radiographic exposure device or storage container as specified in 410 IAC 5-5-5.

                                (d) A physical radiation survey shall be made after each radiographic exposure using radiation machines to determine that the machine is "off."

                                (e) Records shall be kept of the surveys required by 410 IAC 5-5-17(c). Such records shall be maintained for inspection by the board for 2 years after completion of the survey. If the survey was used to determine an individual's exposure, however, the records of the survey shall be maintained until the board authorizes their disposition.
