- a.
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) 47 (Formerly the United States of America Standards Institute) 48 1899 L Street, NW 49 11th Floor 50 Washington, DC 20036 51 https://www.ansi.org/
52 53 54 55 16.15.1.1 Has completed training in the subjects outlined in Appendix 16A and 56 demonstrated an understanding thereof; 57 58 59 16.15.1.2 Has received copies of and instruction in:
60 (1)
The regulations contained in the applicable sections of Parts 1, 4, 10 and 16 of 61 these regulations or their equivalent; 62 (2)
The license or certificate of registration under which the logging supervisor will 63 perform well logging; and 64 (3)
The licensee's or registrant's operating and emergency procedures required by 65 16.16; 66 67 16.17 Personnel monitoring.
68 16.17.1 No licensee or registrant shall permit any individual to act as a logging supervisor or to assist in 69 the handling of sources of radiation unless each such individual wears, at all times during the 70 handling of such sources, a personnel dosimeter that is processed and evaluated by an 71 accredited National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) processor.The 72 licensee or registrant may not permit an individual to act as a logging supervisor or 73 logging assistant unless that person wears a personnel dosimeter at all times during the 74 handling of licensed radioactive materials or sources of radiation.
75 16.17.1.1 Each personnel dosimeter shallmust be assigned to and worn by only one 76 individual.
77 Commented [JSJ4]: Formatted to remove unneeded spaces/gaps in rule between 16.15.1.1 and 16.15.1.2.
Commented [JSJ5]:
The provisions of 16.17 are revised for consistency with 2020 amendments to U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requirements in 10 CFR Part 39.65.
The NRC amended this federal rule to authorize/allow the use of modern individual monitoring devices in well logging/wireline operations. In the past, NRC has required the use of personnel dosimetry that is processed and evaluated by an accredited National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) processor. Some new dosimetry devices do not require the type of processing envisioned in the text of the current rule and may instead be read directly by internet-enabled computers, smartphones, and tablets by the licensee/registrant. The design of these newer devices (rather than the qualifications of the processor) allow for collection of accurate dose information. The proposed rule is rephrased to allow the use of individual monitoring devices that do not require NVLAP processing.
Additionally, since Colorado regulates both radioactive materials and machine generated sources of radiation when used in well logging, references to registrants and sources of radiation are retained in the updated language.
