PURPOSE: This rule requires the safe storage of radioactive material.
- (1) The user shall see that radioactive materials are kept in a manner that will provide reasonable assurance that, during routine access to a controlled area, no person will be exposed in excess of the limits set forth in 19 CSR 20-10.040. Provisions shall be made to minimize the hazard to emergency workers in the event of fire and in situations where earthquake, flood and windstorm potentials exist.
- (2) The user shall see that vaults or rooms used for storing materials that may emit radioactive gases or airborne particulate matter are ventilated in a manner that the concentration of the gases or particulate matter in the air does not constitute a radiation hazard.
- (3) When there is a reasonable possibility that chemical, radiation or other action might lead to leakage of radioactive material from a container, the user shall provide a secondary tray or catchment to the container adequate to retain the entire amount of radioactive material.
