r EQUIPMENT AND PROCEDURES The purpose of-this section is to define Radiographic operating procedures and maintenance of equipment.
2.1-PERSONNEL MONITORING EQU1PMENT F
2.1.1 Each Radiographer and Radiographer's Assistant shall wear'a film badge and pocket dosimeter.
The pocket dosimeter -must'be capable of measuring doses from zero to at least two hundrsd(200) milliroentgen. A film badge and dosimeter shall be assigned to and-worn by only one person 2.1.2 If a dosimeter should go off scale (over 20s ar), stop work and notify the RSO'or his Alternate immediately, 1
2.1.3 If a
dosimeter becomes fully discharged, the_ film badge shall be processed immediately to' determine if any over-exposure-has taken. place. Such. a film badge must be taken to.the RSO who will send it to the. film badge supplier for immediate processing.
Having followed this-procedure, immediately recharge the dosimeter and leave it in area free from any type of radiation for a period i
of one hour. After this time lapse', recheck the dosimeter. If it
[
is again discharged, totally or partially, then in all probability _
you have not been exposed to any overdose of radiation. This would indicate that the dosimeter is probably faulty. Only the RSO may 3
decide whether or not you may return to radiation work after he has carefully evaluated the situation.
2.2 PROCEDURE FOR ISSUANCE AND PROCESSING FILM BADOES~
2.2.1 Film badges shall be worn by all. Radiographer and Assistants.
during working hours. Badges shall be worn on the' torso between the waist and the shoulder.
2.2.2 Film badges shall be changed monthly by the RSO or his l
Alternate.
2.2.3 Each man shall be assigned a serial-number on his badge, and only the man indicated may wear that badge.
i i
2.2.4 New film badges shall be obtained from the supplier and,used film badges will be turned in monthly to them by the RSO or his alternate.
2.2.5 The RSO or his Alternate shall fill out the film badge cards as to the dates each film badge was worn.
2.2.6 Control badges shall be shipped with the film badges to insure that badges did not receive any exposure while in transit.
2.2.8 If the film badge is accidentally dropped and subsequently
r
}
exposed in a
radiation
- area, the accident may hinder the a
evaluation and should immediately be taken to the RSO or his Alternate, who will issue a new badge.
2.2.9 The
- RSO, or his Alternate, shall review all film badge reports, and other information received. from the supplier.
2.2.10 The RSO, or his Alternate, shall be responsible for the l
maintenance of a
central and complete file on all film badge results received. The file shall be maintained for inspection, f
2.2.11 If any over exposure exceeds the limits set fourth by the State Department of Public Health or N.R.C. shall be informed immediately.
2.2.12 The supplier for film badges for B & B X-Ray is:

2.3 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR DOSIMETER CHARGERS 1
Your personal cosimeter must be zeroed at the beginning of each day or work shift.
The dosimeter has a " Charging contact" with a zero adjust control for setting the hairline indicator within the dosimeter to zero. To zero, turn selector switch to the x1, x10 or
]
x100 position and place the end of the dosimeter over the charging i
contact on the dosimeter charger.
Press down lightly.
The illumination should allow sighting of the hairline indicator.
f Next, press down firmly and adjust the hairline indicator until the hairline is located at zero.
- Then, adjust to a
full scale reading and back to the zero mark on the dosimeter scale. Remove the dosimeter from the charging contact. Check the desimeter to be sure the indicator did not shift when removed.from the charging contact. If the indicator did shift, zero the dosimeter again.
2.4 RADIATION SURVEY INSTRUMENTS I
2.4.1 A calibrated and operable radiation sur instrument must be used by the Radiographer to make the o messary radiation survey. Each instrument shall be calibrated at intervals not to exceed three(3) months and after each servicing these instruments shall have range such that two(2) millirogentens per hour through one(1) roentgen per hour can be measured. Calibration records are maintained for inspection.
2.4.2 The 250B and 252B instruments are small, lightweight, rugged geiger-mueller counters.
Power to the meters is provided by two "D"
cell batteries. which operate from a range of 3.12 volts to 1.95 at 8ma to 2.5 me, resulting in extended battery life.
Measurements are displayed on a rugged meter movement, with linear L
_.... _ _.. ~..... _........... _,
scale marked 0-10 divisions / hr. A selector switch provides ranges from 0-10 mc/hr-(x1), 0-100 mr/hr. (x10), 0-1000 mr/hr (x100). The.
meters are equipped-with three adjustments for accurate calibration on each range.
Both models meet the minimum range requirement of 2-mr ~ to 1 R/hr for' industrial radiography (10 CFR 34.24). The-252B is equipped with a built in dosimeter charger.
2.4.3 Operating the survey meter should start with a visual, check for visual damage. Note calibration'date.
2.4.4 Functional test: Turn switch to x1 position momentarily and then return to test position.-Tne meter should indicate above the Battery Cneck position.
2.4.5 This test indicates that switch, batteries, power supplies, GM tube, integrated circuits and meter movement are in good working order.
l 2.4.6 Operation check: Select the desired. range. If available, use a check source to insure that the instrument - is operating correctly.
2.4.7 The scales are marked in 0-10 divisions per hour with a multiplier as selected by the' selector switch.
Simply read thel measurement indicated-on the.~ linear scale and: multiply by the selected number.
For most accurate results, hold the' instrument level and perpendicular-to the source of radiation.
1 2.4.8 A calibrated and~ operable survey instrument shall be on' site and properly used during all operations-involving radiation producing equipment.
2.4.9 It will be the responsibility of the Radiographer-to conduct-a survey to determine that each sealed source is in its shielded position prior to securing and locking the radiographic exposure device. Records must be kept of' these surveys and maintained'for inspection by the state of California. The Radiographer shall sign his name on the. Radiographic Review and' Interpretation report (form 02 section IX).
2.4.10 The survey instrument is a very delicate instrument and must be treated as such. It must never be carried in the back of a-vehicle.
The survey instrument shall be carried in the drivers compartment to avoid abuse. The instrument al.all be packed in such a way that it cannet be jolted or slid around.
2.5 DEFINING AND RESTRICTING RADIATION AND HIGH RADIATION AREAS 2.5.1 Radiation Area means any area accessible to individuals in which there exists radiation at such levels that-an individual could receive in any one hour dose to the whole body in excess of l
five(5) millrems.
Radiation areas must be posted with signs bearing the radiation caution symbol and the words " Caution Radiation Area". B & B's policy is to use these signs to mark the v
9:
. perimeter of the controlled area..
2.5.2 High Radiation areas are _those areas accessible to individuals which centain radiation levels such that a person-continuously present in the area 'could receive an exposure in excess of 100 mr in any one hour. The limits of these. aress must be posted. with the signs bearing the radiation caution symbolfand the words " Caution High-Radiation Area".
Normally these, signs would be posted at-the estimated 100mr/hr. isodose 'line.
~
l q
2.5.3 Determine an area larger than necessary'for actual exposure,-
from calculations for: source atrength and.-distance.
This area =
shall be. roped and-posted.. Once an exposure is in operation-according to Sec. 2.19.6 of BBXR QAM, using~
- a. survey. meter, move to the 100 mr/hr.
- area, then move back to.the 2 mr/hr. area, complete the exposure. After securing the exposure device, placei High radiationE signs.at the 100 mr/hr.: mark, at-least four-signs, one each at 90 degrees of the perimeter. Moving back to:the - -2 mr/
hr. mark, Caution Radiation Area signs are to be placed, at'least one every 90 degrees of the perimeter..Also barrier rope or ribbon will be used here to barricade the area from unauthorized entry-by non monitored personnel. Signs may be hung off the barricade or placed on the ground directly below the barricade.
2.5.4 No user shall possess a source of radiation in such a' manner as to create any uncontrolled area from such sources. Radiation levels which_ would cause any individual to receive a dose to the whole body in excess of:
-l
- 1. Two millirems (2mr) in any one hour.
1
- 2. One hundred millrems(100mr) in any-seven consecutive days.
- 3. 0.5 rems in any one year.

2.20 PERIODIC INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE FOR GAMMA CEN'IURY, GAMMA "35",
SA MODELS, GAMMATRONG & UTILITY TWINS Periodic inspection to exposure devices should be performed at intervals not to exceed ninety(90) days or whenever operation of device appears to be impaired through abuse or wear. However this should be emphasized that this applied only to the device. DO' NOTHING TO THE SOURCE. If the source appears worn or faulty in any
- way, contact the manufactuer.
In order to preform device inspection and maintenance, proceed as follows:
t 2.20.1 Remove safety cap in lock box land inspect source connector.
The holding pin should still have a
true 90 degree elbows it should be straight and parallel with axis'of source connector and the key on apex of elbow should not be worn excessively. Check flexible cable at connector for straightness, if the elbow is not bent out of line, the mating connector should then be connected to the source and tested by pulling straight back on cable applying i
about 30 to 40 pounds of pressure.
-l 3
2.20.2 The lock plunger should be inspected and checked for ease of operation.
Foreign matter may at. times foul the. plunger and l
{.
make it inoperative. The lock plunger may not retract to it's fullest extent which is -1/2 inch. This would prevent free travel of the cource in and out of the lock box.
Maintenance: The lock plunger may be removed by removing the.
I protector cap from the lock box there by exposing the pigtail.
connector and connect the controls to camera. To unlock the unit, turn the crank handle back (counter clockwise) which will permit the key to be turned so the plunger will pop up into the. unlocked position.
Then remove the two 0-32 set screws in the lock box' which will allow the lock plunger.to be removed from the lock box.
This provides access to the spring loaded lock insert. Wash lock insert and lock plunger in solvent to remove dirt or other~ foreign matter. Lock plunger and spring loaded insert;may also be cleaned.
and lubricated by spraying a lubricant'(such as WD 40) into lock plunger and spring loaded lock insert.
2.20.3 Inspect the source outlet nipple by first removing safety plug. The outlet nipple should be round and smooth so-thatnit will match the I.D. of the source tube.
2.20.4 Inspecting source tubes for damage such'as crimps, foreign
- matter, ease of connecting, and disconnecting from exposure I
device.
l~
Maintenance: Crfmps, kinks, and other damaged places may be cut out, and connectors placed on ends so that tube is not shortened excessively.
The quick disconnect to outlet nipple'of exposure device may be removed with heat and replaced.
Foreign matter may be washed from tube with solvent and blown out with dry compressed
- air, 2.20.6 Inspect source connector on drive cable. The hole should be 7/64 inch in diameter when new. This hole should some wear after much use, but should not be out of round to the extent that~it will disconnect from the matting piece other than in the correct position. It should not be loose on the drive cable.
The portion of the connector with the connector hole should not be bent, but should be straight and parallel with the body'of connector.
Maintenance: This worn connector may be replaced by one of two methods.
A. Send back to gamma Industries to have new connector replaced by swedgeing on new replacement.
B. Order new core with connector attached.
2.20.7 Inspect remainder of drive cable for wear, rusty sections, stiff and non flexible
- cables, kinks, or any other damaging
'i condition that would prevent cable from running on gear.in the gear box housing properly.
i Maintenance: The drive cable should be cleaned with solvent such as varsol, diesel fuel or some other solvent that will not dry out. This is done to remove sand, dust and other foreign matter
)
~
that will cause abrasions in the exposure device and gear box drive mechanism.
Drive cable that has become rusty and non l
flexible should be replaced.
Failure to replace cable may cause controls to become stiff, hard to operate, wear excessively, and
-I possibly break. The cable would usually break when the source is exposed.
Lubrication of _the drive cable is important. In areas where there is_a problem with sand or other abrasive material, dry I
powder graphite is excellent.
Graphite should not be-used continually since it will tend to pack in the gear box and cause excessive-wear to the _ gear. housing and to the gear. Where the control cables can be kept reasonably clean, a light oil _ will be I
adequate.
2.20.8 Inspect the control assembly. This assembly consists of the I
gear box assembly and the crank handle. The bronze bushings in the gear housing and the plate are most likely places to find wear.
When these bushings are worn they tend to permit the gear to R
wobble and eventually wear out. Usually (due to some buildup-on l
drive cable or the gear teeth) there will be some wear around the inner circumference of the housing. This will permit the drive a
cable to slip on the gear and prevent source from~ moving properly l
through the exposure. device.
Maintenance: It is suggested that if powdered graphite is used as a
lubricate the gear box be cleaned with compressed air occasionally so as to remove any packed graphite in the gear mechanism. The application of some type of light oil on bronze l
bushings will help prevent excessive wear 2.20.9 Inspect drive cable housing or conduit. This conduit can be damaged by heat, sever kinking, or by dropping some object on the a
conduit.
Any of these can prevent the drive cable from moving g-freely. The conduit at the end connections may become damaged from excessive flexing while being assembled or disassembled Maintenance: In any case where the inner liner has been damaged, j
the conduit must be replaced. When the outer covering has been p
- damaged, waterproof tape should be wrapped around the break to prevent the entrance of water or other corrosive substances. If the extreme ends of the conduit are damaged, they tend to prevent gear wobble and eventually wear out.

l 2.30 MAINTENANCE OF TECH-OPS GAMMA RAY-PROJECTOR ASSEMBLIES.
t 4
I 2.30.1 General.
It is~ imperative that all systems components be kept clean.
(
No amount of dirt can be considered negligible. When the system must be operated in a dirty -environment, particular care must be exercised to prevent dirt from entering control cables.or guide tube. Dirt clogged cables, tubes and connectors impeded the drive cable movement and causing jamming.
2.30.2 Control cables.
Inspect the control cables regularly for signs of damage. Avoid' twisting or bending the cable excessively.
Recoil the control-cable carefully for storage. Never drag the cable on the floor or
[-
the ground. Use the protective cover (over the connector) when the L
cable is not in use.
2.30.3 Guide tubes.
Inspect the guide tubes regularly for damage. Avoid' twisting or bending excessively. Recoil the guide tubes carefully for_ storage.
Never drag the tubes on the floor or ground. Replace the plastic caps on the guide tube connectors when not in use.
2.30.4 Cleaning and lubricating system cables.
}
The frequency of cleaning and lubricating. depends on the amounts and times of use. These procedures must be performed whenever the cranking of the control unit becomes difficult perform the-following:
- a. Disconnect the control cable from the projector,
- b. Turn the hand crank in the expose direction until the cable disengages from the drive gear. This becomes apparent because no further turning of the hand crank will have no effect on the control cable,
- c. Pull the cable free from the control cable housing.- Coil the cable and place the cable in a container of de-greasing solvent.
Do not use water base cleanina acents. Allow the cable to soak as long as necessary to remove all of the accumulated foreign matter, d.
Remove the control cable from the-control cable from the control unit by loosenir.g the two fittings (Before removing the fittings, label them to facilitate reassembly)
- e. Pour de-greasing solvent into control cable tubing to clean.
Continue to flush the tubing until the solvent leaving the tube is free of impurities, j
- f. Use compressed dry clean air (do not exceed 15. pounds psi) to t
thoroughly dry both the housing and the cable. Any remaining solvent could cause permanent damage.
NOTE: SINCE THE DRIVE CABLE AND CONTROL TUBING HAS BEEN CLEANED, CARE MUST BE EXERCISED TO AVOID ANY DUST OR DIRT CONTAMINATION DURING THE REMAINDER OF THESES PROCEDURES.
- g. Lightly grease the drive cable with MIL-G-23827a type grease.
Other greases may form tar or other compounds when exposed to radiation.
- h. Carefully feed the cable into the tubing from the cable end which attaches to the projector.
i.
When the cable reaches the control unit fitting,-guide the cable into the hand crank housing. Slowly turn the hand crank ~1n c
{
V the RETRACT direction until the cable engages the crank gear.
- i J. Reconnect the two fitting which connects the control cable to (5
the' control unit.
- k. Turn-the hand. crank in the retract direction until the cable-is completely contained in the housing.
r To clean the guide tubes, flush. them thoroughly!with a cleaning.
(
solvent. Dry thoroughly with clean dry-compressed air. Replace all=
plastic dust caps when storing the tubes.
Note:
Some solvents (chlorothen or carbon tetrachloride) are
(
carcinogenic these solvents-should be checked out~- before authorizing use.
2.30.5' Source replacement.
[
A dummy. source is_normally supplied with the system. A clip _inside.
(
the storage cap of the projector cover is provided for the dumny source storage.
The dummy _ source can be used when the; radioactive p
source has been removed
-(using a
source changer) _ so that the-l control cable can be _ disconnected from the projector. Note r 1he.
fail safe feature of the connector ' requires either.>a source or dummy source properly stored in'the projector before the control cable can be disengaged.
. WARNING THE SOURCE SHIELD PORTION OF THE PROJECTOR IS NOT REPATRABLE-IN-THE FIELD.
A COVER PLATE HAS BEEN ATTACHED TO PREVENT OPENING THE SHIELD WHICH COULD RL; ULT IN A SERIOUS RADIATION OVEREXPOSURE.
