A. Radiation
				  levels. The local components of an x-ray system shall be located and arranged
				  and shall include sufficient shielding or access control such that no radiation
				  levels exist in any area surrounding the local component group which could
				  result in a dose to an individual present therein in excess of the dose limits
				  given in Part D.1301 of this rule. For systems utilizing x-ray tubes, these
				  levels shall be met at any specified tube rating.
B. Surveys.
(1) Radiation surveys, as required by Part
				  D.1501 of this rule, of all radiation machines and x-ray systems sufficient to
				  show compliance with H.5.A shall be performed:
(a) Upon installation of the equipment, and
				  as specified in Part F.3.C.3(f);
(b) Following any change in the initial
				  arrangement, number, or type of local components in the system;
(c) Following any maintenance requiring the
				  disassembly or removal of a local component in the system;
(d) During the performance of maintenance and
				  alignment procedures if the procedures require the presence of a primary x-ray
				  beam when any local component in the system is disassembled or
				  removed;
(e) Any time a visual
				  inspection of the local components in the system reveals an abnormal condition;
				  and
(f) Whenever personnel
				  monitoring devices show a significant increase over the previous monitoring
				  period or the readings are approaching the limits specified in D.1201 of this
				  rule.

				  device has been bypassed, a readily discernible sign bearing the words "SAFETY
				  DEVICE NOT WORKING," or words having a similar intent, shall be placed on the
				  radiation source housing.
C. Repair
				  or modification of radiation machines. Except as specified in H.6.B, no
				  operation involving removal of covers, shielding materials or tube housings or
				  modifications to shutters, collimators, or beam stops shall be performed
				  without ascertaining that the tube is off and will remain off until safe
				  conditions have been restored. The main switch, rather than interlocks, shall
				  be used for routine shutdown in preparation for repairs.
D. Radioactive source replacement, testing,
				  or repair. Radioactive source housings shall be opened for source replacement,
				  leak testing, or other maintenance or repair procedures only by individuals
				  authorized to specifically conduct such procedures under a license issued by
				  the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, or an Agreement State.
E. Whenever x-ray work is performed at a
				  location other than a permanent installation, the radiographer must notify the
				  requesting site's radiation safety officer or the person responsible for safety
				  matters for those site's that do not have a radiation safety officer, before
				  taking or utilizing radiation machines on the jobsite.
