A copy of any referenced section of the TRCR may be obtained from the Environmental and Physical Safety Department as necessary. The Radiation Safety Officer shall have the authority to terminate the operations at the particle accelerator facility if such action is deemed necessary to protect health and minimize danger to public health and safety or property.
Some barriers are mobile so that they can be strategically placed to minimize exposures.
Instrumentation, readouts and controls on the particle accelerator control console shall be clearly identified and easily discernible. The accelerator area is equipped with an easily observable flashing, rotating warning light that operates when radiation is being produced, even though not required. This light can be seen through the observation window prior to entry. A radiation survey was conducted when the accelerator was first capable of producing radiation to determine compliance with the TRCR, Part 21. This initial survey and consequent surveys established that the accelerator facility is not a high radiation area and is thus exempt from such requirements.
