6.01
Definition
A radiation installation is any

radioactive materials are
stored or used, or
-
there is equipment for
generating ionizing radiation, or
-

a request for approval, together with a description of the facility to
include means for denying access to unauthorized personnel, means for
continuous or periodic monitoring, and the instruments to be used. If
radioactive materials are to be used, a description must be given also
for the means for handling radioactive materials, shielding provided,
radioisotopes to be handled in the facility, a list of the qualifications
of the supervisor in charge of the installation, and a list of persons
who may be exposed to ionizing radiation in the facility.
6.03
Modification of Facilities
Any proposed change in the
installation, such as location or energy level or radiation operating
equipment, in the kind or amount of isotopes, or in personnel must be
communicated to the Radiation Safety Officer.
6.04
Specific Radiation Safety Procedures
Each radiation installation must
have a set of specific Radiation Procedures as described in Section 14.
6.05
Requirements
-
Each radiation installation
must have available appropriate radiation monitoring and survey
equipment which is calibrated and maintained in operating condition.
-
Each installation using
radioactive materials must have suitable means available for
handling and storage of radioactive waste.
-
Posting requirements
specified in the New York State Department of Health Sanitary Code,
Chapter 1, Section 16.12, "Ionizing Radiation," must be
