Before beginning an industrial radiography operation at a temporary job site, a
				permittee must identify and post the radiation areas and high radiation areas,
				or designate a single restricted area based on the exposure limits established
				in
				10 CFR
				20.1301 for members of the public. If only a
				single area is designated, both signs must be posted at the area
				boundary.

				  to be used. Each instrument must be:
(1) appropriate for the types and energies of
				radiation used;
(2) able to measure
