Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) No
						licensee shall perform well logging services operations with a sealed source unless,
						prior to commencement of the operation, the licensee has a written agreement with
						the well operator, well-owner, drilling contractor, or land owner describing who
						shall be responsible for meeting the following requirements:
(1) In the event a sealed source is lodged
						downhole, a reasonable effort shall be made to recover it.
(2) A person may not attempt to recover a sealed
						source in a manner which, in the licensee's opinion, could result in its
						rupture.
(3) Radiation monitoring
						required in section
						30348.5(a) shall be
						performed.
(4) If the environment, any
						equipment, or any personnel are contaminated with licensed radioactive material,
						they shall be decontaminated before release from the site or release for
						unrestricted use, as applicable.
(5) If
						the sealed source is classified as irretrievable after reasonable efforts at
						recovery have been expended, the following requirements shall be implemented within
						30 days:
(A) Each irretrievable well logging
						source shall be immobilized and sealed in place with a cement plug.
(B) A means to prevent inadvertent intrusion on
						the source, unless the source is not accessible to any subsequent drilling
						operations.
(C) A permanent
						identification plaque, constructed of long lasting material such as stainless steel,
						brass, bronze, or monel, shall be mounted at the surface of the well, unless the
						mounting of the plaque is not practical. The size of the plaque shall be at least 7
						inches square and 1/8 inch thick. The plaque shall contain the word "Caution", the
						radiation symbol (color requirements as described in section
						20.1901(a) of title
						10, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 20, incorporated by reference in section
						30253, need not be met), the date the

						a second party.
(c) The licensee or
						registrant shall have each radiation survey instrument required under subsection (a)
						above calibrated:
(1) At intervals not to exceed
						six months and after instrument servicing;
