Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
The following words and terms, when used in this
							 subchapter, have the following meanings, unless the context clearly indicates
							 otherwise:
DRD-Direct reading dosimeter-
(i) As used in this subchapter, means an
						  "individual monitoring device" (see
						  10 CFR
						  20.1003 (relating to definitions)) that does
						  not require additional processing to measure an individual's dose.
(ii) The term also includes the direct
						  reading personnel (individual) monitoring devices known as pocket dosimeter,
						  pocket ionization chamber and electronic personal dosimeter (EPD).
Field radiography
-A location where
							 radiographic operations are conducted (onsite or offsite) other than those
							 designated as a permanent radiographic facility.
Industrial radiography
-An
							 examination of the structure of materials by nondestructive methods, utilizing
							 ionizing radiation to make radiographic images.
NVLAP
-National Voluntary Laboratory
							 Accreditation Program.
Personal supervision
-The provision
							 of guidance and instruction to a radiographer's assistant given by a
							 radiographer who is:
(i) Physically
						  present at the site.
(ii) In visual
						  contact with the radiographer's assistant while the assistant is using
						  radiation sources.
(iii) In
						  proximity so that immediate assistance can be given if required.
Personnel dosimeter
-As used in this
							 subchapter, means any of the "individual monitoring devices" (see
							 10 CFR
							 20.1003) that shall be processed and
							 evaluated to generate a permanent record of an individual's dose, for example,
							 a film badge, thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) or optically stimulated
							 luminescent dosimeter (OSLD).
RSO-radiation safety officer
-An
							 individual who ensures that, in the daily operation of the registrant's or
							 licensee's radiation safety program, activities are being performed in
							 accordance with approved procedures and are in compliance with Department
							 requirements.
Radiographer
-An individual who
							 performs radiographic operations or an individual in attendance at a site where
							 radiation-producing devices are being used who personally supervises industrial
							 radiographic operations.
Radiographer's assistant
-An
							 individual who, under the personal supervision of a radiographer, uses
							 radiation-producing devices or radiation survey instrumentation.
Radiographic operations
-The
							 activities associated with a radiation-producing device during use of the
							 device, to include surveys to confirm adequacy of boundaries, setting up
							 equipment and any activity inside restricted area boundaries.
Radiographic X-ray system
-A system
							 utilizing a radiation generating device for quality assurance, materials
							 detection or nondestructive testing used in industrial settings.
Safety device
-As applied to
							 radiation-producing devices in this subchapter, a device or component that
							 causes the unit to de-energize or interrupt the beam.
