Each particle accelerator facility shall have available:
(a) Appropriate portable monitoring equipment which:
- (1) Is operable;
- (2) Has been calibrated for the appropriate radiations being produced at the facility;
- (3) Has been tested daily for proper operation;
- (4) Has been calibrated at intervals not to exceed one year;
- (5) Has been calibrated after each servicing; and
- (6) Has been calibrated after repair;
- (b) A radiation protection survey, performed and documented by a qualified expert specifically registered with DHHS/RHS pursuant to He-P 4040.06, which documents changes in shielding, operation, equipment, or occupancy of adjacent areas;
- (c) Continuous monitoring devices for all high radiation areas which are electrically independent of the accelerator control and safety interlock systems and are capable of providing a readout at the control panel;
- (d) All area monitors shall be calibrated at intervals not to exceed one year and after each servicing and repair;
- (e) Periodic surveys to determine the amount of airborne particulate radioactivity present in areas of airborne hazards if applicable;
- (f) Periodic smear surveys to determine the degree of contamination in target and other pertinent areas if applicable;
- (g) All area surveys shall be made in accordance with the written procedures established by a qualified expert, or the radiation safety officer of the particle accelerator facility; and
(h) Records of:
- (1) Radiation protection surveys;
- (2) Calibration results;
- (3) Instrumentation tests; and
- (4) Smear results.
