Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1)
				At each particle accelerator facility capable of producing radioactive
				materials by activation, the registrant shall provide appropriate portable
				monitoring equipment which is operable and has been calibrated for the
				radiations being produced at the facility. Such equipment shall be tested for
				proper operation daily and calibrated at intervals not to exceed 12 months and
				after each servicing or repair.
(2)
				A radiation survey shall be performed and documented by a qualified person, as
				defined in subsection
				 64E-5.501(61),
				F.A.C., when changes have been made in shielding, operation, or equipment
				within the facility or in the occupancy of adjacent areas.
(3) Radiation levels in all high radiation
				areas shall be continuously monitored. The monitoring device shall be
				electrically independent of the accelerator control and interlock systems and
				capable of providing a visual or audible alarm at the entrance to high
				radiation areas, and other appropriate locations, so that people entering or
				present become aware of the existence of the hazard. A remote readout shall be
				located at the control panel when the production of radioactive materials by
				activation could cause a high radiation area.
(4) Area monitors designed and intended to
				display the exposure rate shall be calibrated at intervals not to exceed 1 year
				and after each servicing and repair.
(5) Whenever applicable, surveys shall be
				made to determine the amount of airborne particulate radioactivity present in
				areas of airborne hazards.
(6)
				Whenever applicable, smear surveys shall be made to determine the degree of
				contamination in target and other pertinent areas.
(7) All area surveys shall be made in
				accordance with the written procedures established by a qualified person, as
				defined in subsection
				 64E-5.501(61),
				F.A.C., or the radiation safety officer of the particle accelerator
				facility.
(8) Records of all
				radiation protection surveys, calibration results, instrumentation tests, and
				smear results shall be kept current and on file at each accelerator facility
				for inspection by the Department for 3 years.

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) If the Department determines, with
				respect to a complaint under this part, that an inspection is not warranted
				because there are no reasonable grounds to believe that a violation exists or
				has occurred, the Department shall notify the complainant in writing of such
				determination. The complainant may obtain review of such determination by

				statement of position with the Department. The Department will provide the
				complainant with a copy of such statement by certified mail.
(2) Upon the request of the complainant, the
				Department may hold an informal conference in which the complainant and the
				licensee or registrant may orally present their views. An informal conference
				may also be held at the request of the licensee or registrant, but disclosure
				of the identity of the complainant will be made only following receipt of
				written authorization from the complainant. After considering all written and
				oral views presented, the Department shall affirm, modify, or reverse the
				previous determination of the Department and furnish the complainant and the
				licensee or registrant a written notification of the decision and the reason
				therefor.
(3) If the Department
				determines that an inspection is not warranted because the requirements of
				subsection  64E-5.906(1),
				F.A.C., have not been met, the complainant shall be notified in writing of such
				determination. Such determination shall be without prejudice to the filing of a
