If the
				  applicant desires that the general licensee under NAC 459.216 or under
				  equivalent regulations of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission or an agreement
				  state be authorized to install the device, collect the sample to be analyzed by
				  a specific licensee for leakage or radioactive material, perform service upon
				  the device, test the on-and-off mechanism and indicator or remove the device
				  from installation, the applicant shall include in his or her application
				  written instructions to be followed by the general licensee, estimated calendar
				  quarter doses associated with such activity or activities and bases for such
				  estimates. The submitted information must demonstrate that performance of the
				  activity by a person untrained in radiological protection, in addition to other
				  handling, storage and use of devices under the general licensee, is unlikely to
				  cause that person to receive in 1 year a dose in excess of 10 percent of the
				  limits specified in NAC 459.325.
