Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
(a) Each licensee shall use the units curie,
				  rad, and rem, including multiples and subdivisions, and shall clearly indicate
				  the units of all quantities on records required by this subchapter.
				  Disintegrations per minute may be indicated on records of surveys performed to
				  determine compliance with §
										336.605
				  of this title (relating to Surface Contamination Limits for Facilities,
				  Equipment, and Materials) and §336.364, Appendix G, of this title
				  (relating to Acceptable Surface Contamination Levels).
(b) In the records required by this chapter,
				  the licensee may record quantities in International System of Units (SI) units
				  in parentheses following each of the units specified in subsection (a) of this
				  section. However, all quantities must be recorded as stated in subsection (a)
				  of this section.
(c)
				  Notwithstanding the requirements of subsection (a) of this section, information
				  on shipment manifests for wastes received at a licensed land disposal facility,
				  as required by §
										336.331(h)
				  of this title (relating to Transfer of Radioactive Material), shall be recorded
				  in SI units (becquerel, gray, and sievert) or in SI and units as specified in
				  subsection (a) of this section.
(d)
				  The licensee shall make a clear distinction among the quantities entered on the
				  records required by this subchapter, such as total effective dose equivalent,
				  shallow-dose equivalent, lens dose equivalent, deep-dose equivalent, and
				  committed effective dose equivalent.
(e) Each licensee shall maintain records
				  showing the receipt, transfer, and disposal of all source material, byproduct
				  material, or other licensed radioactive material. Each licensee shall also
				  maintain any records and make any reports as may be required by the conditions
				  of the license, by the rules in this chapter, or by orders of the commission.
				  Copies of any records or reports required by the license, rules, or orders
				  shall be submitted to the executive director or commission on request. All
				  records and reports required by the license, rules, or orders shall be complete
				  and accurate.
(f) The licensee
				  shall retain each record that is required by the rules in this chapter or by
				  license conditions for the period specified by the appropriate rule or license
				  condition. If a retention period is not otherwise specified, each record shall
				  be maintained until the commission terminates each pertinent license requiring
				  the record.
(g) If there is a
				  conflict between the commission's rules, license condition, or other written
				  approval or authorization from the executive director pertaining to the
				  retention period for the same type of record, the longest retention period
				  specified takes precedence.
(h) The
				  executive director may require the licensee to provide the commission with
				  copies of all records prior to termination of the license.
