Louisiana Administrative Code › Title 33 - ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY › Part XV - Radiation Protection › Chapter 20 - Radiation Safety Requirements for Wireline Service Operations and Subsurface Tracer Studies › Section XV-2014 - Leak Testing of Sealed Sources

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A.
				Requirements. Each licensee using sealed sources of radioactive material shall
				have the sources tested for leakage. Records of leak test results shall be kept
				in units of microcuries and maintained for inspection by the department two
				years after the next required leak test is performed or until transfer or
				disposal of the sealed source.
B.
				Method of Testing. Tests for leakage shall be performed only by persons
				specifically authorized to perform such tests by the Office of Environmental
				Compliance, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, an agreement state, or a
				licensing state. The wipe of a sealed source must be performed using a leak
				test kit or method approved by the department, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
				Commission, or an agreement state. The test sample shall be taken from the
				surface of the source, source holder, or from the surface of the device in
				which the source is stored or mounted and on which one might expect
				contamination to accumulate. The test sample shall be analyzed for radioactive
				contamination by a person approved by the department, the U.S. Nuclear
				Regulatory Commission, or an agreement state to perform the analysis. The
				analysis shall be capable of detecting the presence of 0.005 microcurie (185
				Bq) of radioactive material on the test sample.
C. Interval of Testing
1. Each sealed source of radioactive
				material, except an energy compensation source (ECS), shall be tested at
				intervals not to exceed six months. In the absence of a certificate from a
				transferor indicating that a test has been made prior to the transfer, the
				sealed source shall not be put into use until tested. If, for any reason, it is
				suspected that a sealed source may be leaking, it shall be removed from service
				immediately and tested for leakage as soon as practical.
2. Each ECS that is not exempt from testing
				in accordance with Subsection E of this Section must be tested at intervals not
				to exceed three years. In the absence of a certificate from a transferor that a
				test has been made within the three years before the transfer, the ECS may not
				be used until tested.
