Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) The replacement
			 of any sealed source fastened to or contained in a radiographic exposure device
			 and leak testing of any sealed source must be performed by persons authorized
			 by the director, the United States nuclear regulatory commission, or an
			 agreement state to do so.
(B) The
			 opening, repair, or modification of any sealed source must be performed by
			 persons specifically authorized by the director, the United States nuclear
			 regulatory commission, or an agreement state to do so.
(C)
(1)
			 Each licensee who uses a sealed source shall have the source tested for leakage
			 at intervals not to exceed six months. The leak testing of the source must be
			 performed using a method approved by the director,
			 the United States nuclear regulatory commission or by an agreement state. The
			 wipe sample should be taken from the nearest accessible point to the sealed
			 source where contamination might accumulate. The wipe sample must be analyzed
			 for radioactive contamination. The analysis must be capable of detecting the
			 presence of one hundred eighty-five becquerels ( 0.005 microcurie) of
			 radioactive material on the test sample and must be performed by a person
			 specifically authorized by the director, the United States nuclear regulatory
			 commission, or an agreement state to perform the analysis.
(2) The licensee shall maintain records of
			 the leak tests in accordance with paragraph (D) of rule
			 3701:1-48-23
			 of the Administrative Code.
(3)
			 Unless a sealed source is accompanied by a certificate from the transferor that
			 shows that it has been leak tested within six months before the transfer, it
			 may not be used by the licensee until tested for leakage. Sealed sources that
			 are in storage and not in use do not require leak testing, but must be tested
			 before use or transfer to another person if the interval of storage exceeds six
			 months.
