1.0 SCOPE 1.1 The radiation controls and procedures set forth in this document are designed to protect not only the Radiographic Personnel who, by the nature of their work, may be exposed to radiation but to assure that all personnel at various field sites are also protected.
1.2 Radiation in common with toxic chemicals, combustible materials and high voltage electricity as well as other potential hazards are capable cf inflicting bodily harm if used improperly and without due regard to safety.
In some measure, radiation is more of a hazard in that it cannot be seen, felt, heard or smelled.
1.3 The Radiation Administration Control, Operating and Emergency Procedures contained herein are in conformance with the provisions of the following Federal and State Agencies:
1.3.1 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 1.3.2 States that have entered into an agreement with N.R.C.
transferring regulatory authority over by-product materials to that State.
1.3.3 Rules and regulations of non-agreement States pertaining to radiation protection.
1.3.4 U.S. Department of Transportation.

1.0 SCOPE
This: procedure describes the methods and equipment required to calibrate radiation 1 survey instruments. in use at Huntington Testing, Inc.
2.0 RESPONSIBILITIES
' It is the responsibility of the Radiation Safety Officer or his representative.to calibrate radiation, survey instruments at least every calendar quarter and after repairs that may have affected an instrument's accuracy.
3.0., CALIBRATION PROCEDURE:
3.1 Radiation survey instruments.will. be calibrated veing Technical Operations Calibration Kit Model T/O 571 or Technical Operations Model.
- 773 Calibration? Unit.
3.2' Remove case of survey instrument, exposing the calibration adjustment screws for ~ each scale.
3.3A Victoreen 592-B Turn survey meter range selector lever to "zerc" position.
Allow a few minutes for the survey meter to " warm u p".
(If indicator drifts, additional ' time is required for " warm up").
Adjust knob on outside of survey meter so that the indicator points to "zero".
In the event that the meter. fails - to "zero", set screw knob at a halfway position and adjust "zero" set screw on the 'inside of meter. It is to be noted that the knob on the outside of the meter is for fine "zero" adjustments and the inside set screw is for coarser adjustments.
If the meter cannot be " zeroed", the batteries may be weak and must be replaced.
Then turn knob to the first scale.
3.3B Eberline E130G and #520 Turn instrument knob to battery check position.
Needle should enter the zone so marked on the meter face, if not, change the batteries. Then turn knob to the first scale.

5/28/88 RADIATION SURVEY INSTRUMENT CAI IBRATION 4.0 PREPARATION FOR USE:
4.1 ' Remove from storage area and place the ' source shield in a restricted
~
area. so that the directional pcrt is aimed horizontally.
To minimize the effects of scattered radiation, the unit 'should be at least 16 feet from any wall, in : the direction of the primary beam.
4.2 Position a support 10' long horizontally from the T/O-571 or T/O-773 directional. shield,- ar, shown on Drawing 57101.
t 4.3 Restrict access to an' area 10' from the container.
-5.0 SURVEY METER CALIBRATION:
5.1 On the bottom of the identification label is a dose / distance computer.
The source size and date of calibration is stamped. on the -identification label. Follow these steps: (1) Set the ege of the source shown on Scale A opposite the original source size shown on Scale B.
(2)
Tighten the screws holding the bottom scale.
Desired dose rates are shown on Scale C and you may read the correct distance directly below the dose rate desired.
5.2 Turn on your survey instrument, let it warm up for. about 10 minutes and zero the meter.
I 1
5.3 Turn the range switch to the low range, and place the meter at the i
appropriate distance -(see dose / distance computer) for a 2.5 mR/hr reading.
The survey meter should be located so - that the center of the chamber, or detector, is at the correct distance and centered on the center line of the radiation beam.
The longest dimension of the ion chamber could be at right angles to the radiation beam.
Depending on the physical size and configuration of your survey meter, it may be necessary to mount the 571 source shield somewhat higher than the bench surface.
When the proper geometry for -your meter has been established, use the same physical set-up consistently in future i-calibration operations.
l A maximum dose rate of 1000 mR/hr can be obtained with certain survey meters in contact with the radiation port; however, the physical geometry of some survey meters may lead to incorrect readings at such a close distance.
Do not use less distance than the minimum distance which provides the correct maximum dose in accordance with the dose / distance computer.

5.4 Stand A W A Y from the primary beam and open the source shutter.
This may be done by lifting the source rod manually, or remotely with a string attached to the source rod.
Check the reading on the instrument and then close the source shutter by allowing the source rod to drop to the stored position.
If the reading does not agr e within plus or minus 10% an adjustment is required.
5.5 in turn check two points on each scale using the correct distance indicated by the dose / distance computer.
The points to be check as follows:
