			 land use, and building code requirements for industrial facilities.
(2) The regulations in this division apply to
			 panoramic irradiators that have either dry or wet storage of the radioactive
			 sealed sources and to underwater irradiators in which both the source and the
			 product being irradiated are under water. Irradiators whose dose rates exceed 5
			 grays (500 rads) per hour at 1 meter from the radioactive sealed sources in air
			 or in water, as applicable for the irradiator type, are covered by this
			 division.
(3) The regulations in
			 this division do not apply to self-contained dry-source-storage irradiators in

			 a device and are not accessible by personnel; medical radiology or teletherapy;
			 radiography for the irradiation of materials for nondestructive testing
			 purposes; gauging; or open-field, agricultural, irradiations.

			 the facility starts to operate. A radiation survey of the area above the pool
			 of pool irradiators must be conducted after the sources are loaded but before

			 must be performed at intervals not to exceed three years and before resuming
			 operation after addition of new sources or any modification to the radiation
			 room shielding or structure that might increase dose rates.

			 potentially contaminated liquids, and sediments from pool vacuuming must be
			 monitored for radioactive contamination before release to unrestricted areas.
			 Radioactive concentrations must not exceed those specified in  10 CFR 20, Table
			 II, Column 2 or Table III of Appendix B, "Annual Limits on Intake (ALIs) and
			 Derived Air Concentrations (DAC) of Radionuclides for Occupational Exposure;

			 resins for unrestricted use, they must be monitored before release in an area
			 with a background level less than 0.5 microsievert (0.05 mrem) per hour. The
			 resins may be released only if the survey does not detect radiation levels
			 above background radiation levels. The survey meter used must be capable of
			 detecting radiation levels of 0.5 microsievert (0.05 mrem) per hour.
