INTEGRATED MATERIALS PERFORMANCE EVALUATION PROGRAM QUESTIONNAIRE FOR THE STATE OF TEXAS
Reporting Period: February 10, 2018 - March 4, 2022
Note: If there has been no change in the response to a specific question since the last IMPEP questionnaire, the State or Region may copy the previous answer, if appropriate.
A. GENERAL
- 1. Please prepare a summary of the status of the State's or Region's actions taken in response to each of the open recommendations from previous IMPEP reviews.
B. COMMON PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
I. Technical Staffing and Training
- 2. Please provide the following organization charts, including names and positions:
(a) A chart showing positions from the Governor down to the Radiation Control Program Director;
See Appendix B-1
(b) A chart showing positions of the radiation control program, including management; and
See Appendix B-2
(c) Equivalent charts for sealed source and device evaluation, low-level radioactive waste and uranium recovery programs, if applicable.
See Appendix B-3
- 3. Please provide a staffing plan, or complete a listing using the suggested format below, of the professional (technical) full-time equivalents (FTE) applied to the radioactive materials program by individual. Include the name, position, and, for Agreement States, the fraction of time spent in the following areas: administration, materials licensing &
compliance, emergency response, low-level radioactive waste, uranium recovery, other.
If these regulatory responsibilities are divided between offices, the table should be consolidated to include all personnel contributing to the radioactive materials program.
If consultants were used to carry out the program's radioactive materials responsibilities, include their efforts. The table heading should be:
Name Position Area of Effort FTE%
See Appendix B-4
- 4. Please provide a listing of all new professional personnel hired into your radioactive materials program since the last review, indicate the date of hire; the degree(s) they received, if applicable; additional training; and years of experience in health physics or other disciplines, as appropriate.
See Appendix B-5
- 5. Please list all professional staff who have not yet met the qualification requirements for a radioactive materials license reviewer or inspector. For each, list the courses or equivalent training/experience they need and a tentative schedule for completion of these requirements.
See Appendix B-6
- 6. Identify any changes to your qualification and training procedure that occurred during the review period.
The qualifications for new license reviewers were modified by expanding the detail of the types of licenses that the reviewers need to complete for the On-The-Job signoffs. The types of licenses were tailored for the industrial and medical/academic programs to address all the types of licenses that that group processes. This has extended the initial qualification timeframe from approximately 9 months to approximately 18 months.
There were no changes to the inspector qualification and training program.
SS&D: We changed the training procedure but have not applied it yet. New SS&D reviewers have an in-house review of the SS&D workshop training to count towards SS&D reviewer qualification before attending the NRC -
sponsored SS&D workshop. The in-house SS&D workshop training will use past NRC workshop training materials with current SS&D reviewers as presenters of the information.
- 7. Please identify the technical staff that left your radioactive materials program during the review period and indicate the date they left.
See Appendix B-7
- 8. List any vacant positions in your radioactive materials program, the length of time each position has been vacant, and a brief summary of efforts to fill the vacancy.
See Appendix B-8
- 9. For Agreement States, does your program have an oversight board or committee which provides direction to the program and is composed of licensees and/or members of the public? If so, please describe the procedures used to avoid any potential conflict of interest.
The Texas Radiation Advisory Board (TRAB) is an 18-member, governor-appointed advisory board mandated by statute (Health and Safety Code, Chapter 401). Representation on the board is specified in statute and includes:
- a representative of nuclear physics, science, or nuclear engineering;
- a representative of labor;
- a representative of agriculture;
- a representative of the insurance industry;
- a hospital administrator;
- a representative who is engaged in the use and application of nuclear physics in medicine and is certified by the American Board of Radiology or licensed by the Texas Board of Licensure for Professional Medical Physicists;
- an individual licensed by the Texas Medical Board who specializes in nuclear medicine;
- an individual licensed by the Texas Medical Board who specializes in pathology;
- an individual licensed by the Texas Medical Board who specializes in radiology;
- a representative of the nuclear utility industry;
- a representative of the radioactive waste industry;
- a representative of the petroleum industry;
- a health physicist certified by the American Board of Health Physics;
- an individual licensed by the Texas Dental Board;
- a representative of the uranium mining industry; and
- three representatives of the public.
TRAB provides recommendations and technical advice on matters relating to development, use, and regulation of sources of radiation to the three agencies with regulatory responsibility for radiation, DSHS, TCEQ and the Railroad Commission of Texas. Chapter 401 specifies the circumstances under which a person would not be eligible to serve on TRAB to avoid conflict of interest. The statute further requires that each TRAB member receive training in the appropriate statutes and rules, including conflict of interest laws. Chapter 289.130 contains rules governing the TRAB and its actions.
See Appendix B-9 for a list of current TRAB members.
II. Status of Materials Inspection Program
- 10. Please identify individual licensees or categories of licensees the State is inspecting less frequently than called for in NRCs Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 2800 and explain the reason for the difference. The list only needs to include the following information:
license category or licensee name and license number, your inspection interval, and rationale for the difference.
All categories of licensees are inspected at either the same frequency as NRC, or more frequently.
See Appendix B-10 for a list of the inspection intervals by modifier type.
- 11. Please provide the number of routine inspections of Priority 1, 2, and 3 licensees, as defined in IMC 2800 and the number of initial inspections that were completed during each year of the review period.
For inspection period 2/10/2018 through 12/31/2021:
2018 2019 2020 2021 Total Priority 1 43 51 56 74 224 Priority 2 49 78 52 95 274 Priority 3 107 84 97 74 362 Initial 46 68 58 56 228 Totals 245 281 263 299 1088
- 12. Please submit a table, or a computer printout, that identifies inspections of Priority 1, 2, and 3 licensees and initial inspections that were conducted overdue.
At a minimum, the list should include the following information for each inspection that was conducted overdue during the review period:
(1) Licensee Name (2) License Number (3) Priority (IMC 2800)
(4) Last inspection date or license issuance date, if initial inspection (5) Date Due (6) Date Performed (7) Amount of Time Overdue (8) Date inspection findings issued
See Appendix B-11 for Priority 1-3 inspections conducted overdue See Appendix B-12 for initial inspections conducted overdue
- 13. Please submit a table or computer printout that identifies any Priority 1, 2, and 3 licensees and initial inspections that are currently overdue, per IMC 2800. At a minimum, the list should include the same information for each overdue inspection provided for Question 12 plus your action plan for completing the inspection. Also include your plan for completing the overdue inspections.
There are currently no overdue inspections.
- 14. Please provide the number of reciprocity licensees that were candidates for inspection per year as described in IMC 1220 and indicate the number of reciprocity inspections of candidate licensees that were completed each year during the review period.
- of Companies # of Inspections % Inspected 2018 22 5 22.7%
2019 37 12 32.4%
2020 19 5 26.3%
2021 35 9 25.7%
III. Technical Quality of Inspections
- 15. What, if any, changes were made to your written inspection procedures during the reporting period?
The Texas Inspection manual is being modified to be equivalent to the NRC Chapter 2800, including the updated reciprocity procedure and appropriate adaptations for the Texas Program. Inspection guidance and report forms remain essentially the same, with minor improvements made as needed.
We have developed and implemented several information notices for licensees and enforcement notices for internal use. The Radioactive Materials Information Notice was developed as a collection of periodic notifications as important topics arise regarding inspection procedure, enforcement policy, rule clarification, administrative procedure, and essential information and this document serves as official guidance for performing inspections, training, and administrative tasks.
All useful information contained in the Work Instruction documents is being incorporated into either the updated inspection manual or the radioactive materials group information notice. Once this task is completed, the Work Instruction documents will be retired.
Once the draft NRC Inspection Procedures are final, we plan to incorporate them into our inspection procedures, possibly by reference or by creating essentially equivalent procedures with adaptations to make them unique to the Texas Program.
- 16. Prepare a table showing the number and types of supervisory accompaniments made during the review period. Include:
Inspector Supervisor License Category Date
See Appendix B-13
- 17. Describe or provide an update on your instrumentation, methods of calibration, and laboratory capabilities. Are all instruments properly calibrated at the present time? Were there sufficient calibrated instruments available throughout the review period?
The radioactive materials inspectors are provided with the following instruments at a minimum:
- Ludlum 2241 with a 1x1 scintillation probe, an energy compensated G/M probe, a G/M pancake probe, and a low energy gamma probe
- Thermo Scientific RadEye SPRD-GN spectroscopic Personal Radiation Detector
- Ludlum 2363 with 42-41L neutron probe
- BNC model 940 radiation isotope identifier See Appendix B-14 for Instrument Calibration Status See Appendix B-15 for Calibration Procedures
IV. Technical Quality of Licensing Actions
- 18. How many specific radioactive material licenses does your program regulate at this time?
As of 1/18/2022:
Medical Licenses: 703 Industrial Licenses: 639 Advanced Technology Licenses: 49 RAM Reciprocity: 89
88 SS&D were issued during the review period
- 19. Please identify any major, unusual, or complex licenses which were issued, received a major amendment, were terminated, decommissioned, submitted a bankruptcy notification or renewed in this period.
See Appendix B-16
- 20. Discuss any variances in licensing policies and procedures or exemptions from the regulations granted during the review period.
The RAM Licensing Unit migrated to using electronic document handling and storage in SharePoint instead of processing hardcopy applications and archiving hardcopy files on microfiche. Starting in August 2019, the RAM Licensing unit began dual use of electronic and paper file handling and then converted to electronic files only in December 2019 of new incoming requests.
The changes to the licensing procedures include the following:
- Starting July/August 2020, we began to use digital signatures on licenses.
- Starting Sept/Oct 2020, we began to deliver electronic copies of licenses via secure email. A follow-up letter is sent via regular mail to the licensee contact person advising them that an electronic copy was sent.
- Starting October 2020, we modified the handling of transfer of control applications to give a prior review and approval of the transfer of control.
With the review we also determine whether a new license or license amendment is appropriate for the particular action.
The RAM Licensing Unit uses a rule exemption process prior to deviating from rule requirements that includes review and approval by management.
The exemptions are classified as specific for a specific licensee, or generic for all applicable licensees. The exemptions granted during the review period for radioactive materials licenses are listed below.
- E18 rule 25 TAC §289.255(u)(4)(B) - permitted storage of radiography camera at a residential location (in separate building on the owners property) for a specific licensee
- E19 rule §289.255(u)(4)(B) - permitted storage of radiography camera at a residential location (in separate building on the owners property) for a specific licensee
- E19 rule 25 TAC §289.255(u)(4)(B) - permitted storage of radiography camera at a residential location (in separate building on the owners property) for a specific licensee
- E20 rule 25 TAC §289.255(e)(4)(B)(i) - permitted an individual to be a radiography RSO while completing his GED for a specific licensee
- E20 rule 25 TAC §289.255(u)(4)(B) - permitted storage of radiography camera at a residential location (in separate building on the owners property) for a specific licensee
- Generic exemption L020 (5-4-21) - rules 25 TAC §289.256(h), (j), (k), (l),
(gg), (jj), (nn), (oo), (pp), (qq), (zz), (aaa), and (ttt) - permitted reviewer acceptance of licensee using NRC training and experience criteria for AU for medical licensees
- 21. What, if any, changes were made in your written licensing procedures (new procedures, updates, policy memoranda, etc.) during the reporting period?
The changes made to the licensing program documentation during the review period include:
- Updating the RSRM review form to match NRC changes
- Updating the Pre-Licensing guidance to match NRC changes
- Generated internal procedures on entering license actions into the database and our SharePoint site by license reviewers as we move to electronic handling of documents.
- The Medical Licensing guidance document was updated in November 2018 to be consistent with NRC NUREG 1556 Volume 9 while still operating under the old medical rules.
- The Portable Gauge licensing guidance was updated in March 2021 to be consistent with NRC NUREG Volume 1
The revision to our rules effective January 4, 2022, incorporated changes to be more consistent with the NRC language and compatibility D regulations.
We intend to incorporate these changes by referencing many NRC NUREG guidance documents.
Changes to licensing procedures that have not been consolidated i nto formal procedures are listed above as policy and procedure variances.
- 22. Identify by licensee name and license number any renewal applications that have been pending for one year or more. Please indicate why these reviews have been delayed and describe your action plan to reduce the backlog.
License number L05278 for IIA Nuclear Services Inc expired September 30, 2020 and has been in renewal for more than one year. The licensee has had complications with completing the revision to their decommissioning cost estimate. The renewal will be completed when we have received and approved the revised Decommissioning Funding Plan.
V. Technical Quality of Incident and Allegation Activities
- 23. For Agreement States, please provide a list of any reportable incidents not previously submitted to NRC (See Procedure SA-300, Reporting Material Events, for additional guidance, OMB clearance number 3150-0178). The list should be in the following format:
Licensee Name License # Date of Incident/Report Type of Incident
No additional events to report
- 24. Identify any changes to your procedures for responding to incidents and allegations that occurred during the period of this review.
The Incident Investigation Program procedure was changed to meet the reporting requirements of Texas Health and Safety Code, 501.0245. This requires the program to report certain events to local authorities as well as some emergency response groups.
C. NON-COMMON PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
I. Compatibility Requirements
- 25. Please list all currently effective legislation that affects the radiation control program.
Denote any legislation that was enacted or amended during the review period.
House Bill 2203, 86th Legislature, Regular Session (2019) added Section 501.0245 requiring the notification of each affected political subdivision of the state when a state agency received a required report of a release of a radioactive substance.
House Bill 7, 87th Legislature, Special Session 2 (2021) amended Section 401.003 of the Health and Safety Code to forbid the approval of a general construction permit or a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan under Section 26.040, Water Code, or a permit under the Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Program under Section 26.027, 26.028, or 26.121, Water Code, for the construction or operation of a facility that is licensed for the storage of high-level radioactive waste by the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission under 10 C.F.R. Part 72. Exceptions were given to facilities located at the site of currently or formerly operating nuclear power reactors and currently or formerly operating nuclear research and test reactors operated by a university.
- 26. Are your regulations subject to a "Sunset" or equivalent law? If so, explain and include the next expiration date for your regulations.
Government Code, Chapter 2001.039 requires Texas state agencies to assess whether the reasons for adopting each rule continue to exist and to review each rule to determine whether it is obsolete, whether it reflects current legal and policy considerations, and whether it reflects current procedures of the agency. As a part of this review, each agency is required to submit notice of intent to the Texas Register for publication.
Each rule is required to be reviewed four years from the last effective date of the rule. Therefore, each section of 25 Texas Administrative Code, Chapter 289 (radiation control rules) has a different four-year review interval.
- 27. Please review and verify that the information in the enclosed State Regulation Status (SRS) sheet is correct. For those regulations that have not been adopted by the State, explain why they were not adopted, and discuss actions being taken to adopt them. If legally binding requirements were used in lieu of regulations and they have not been reviewed by NRC for compatibility, please describe their use.
See Appendix C-1
- 28. If you have not adopted all amendments within three years from the date of NRC rule promulgation, briefly describe your State's procedures for amending regulations in order to maintain compatibility with the NRC, showing the normal length of time anticipated to complete each step.
Texas is compatible with all applicable NRC regulations.

Appendix B-15 Question 17
RADIATION SURVEY INSTRUMENT CALIBRATION AND MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF STATE HEALTH SERVICES
BACKGROUND Calibration of portable radiation survey instruments is a process which may be conducted with varying degrees of accuracy and precision. Both are a function of the facilities and equipment, time, personnel and financial resources available to perform the calibration. The object of calibrating an instrument intended for routine use is to ensure that its accuracy is adequate under the conditions in which it is used (ICRU 1976). The following set of procedures has been written in order to document the conditions under which portable survey instruments are currently being calibrated at the Texas Department of State Health Services, and to establish the procedures for users of portable survey instruments which assure that a minimum set of precautions are observed in the field to verify that the instruments function properly and that the calibration is valid.
Proper care of radiation detection and measuring equipment, as with all equipment, is the primary mechanism for insuring its proper functioning. Each individual to whom an instrument is assigned also has assigned the responsibility to perform frequent checks on the equipment to assure its proper functioning and to report immediately any problem which, based on their experience and familiarity with their survey instrumentation indicates a particular instrument is not functioning reliably. Further discussion of these responsibilities will be presented later in the text.
In order to facilitate communications regarding any problems encountered with portable radiation detection and measuring equipment, when practicable, a copy of the manufacturers manual for each instrument and detector commonly used will be included as part of this manual. Additionally, familiarity with the operational characteristics of each instrument an inspector uses should enhance his abilities to perform surveys. Whenever possible, the manufacturers calibration procedures will be followed. Significant deviations from manufacturers suggested procedures will be verified with the manufacturer, prior to implementation or have a rationale developed and in both cases documented in the manual.
CONSTANCY CHECKS AND MAINTENANCE
As soon after calibration as possible each inspector should check his/her instrument against a small check source, such as those provided in the check source kits. One should use the same source each time the instrument is checked and one should also be sure to position the source at the same location on or near the detector.
This check should be made on all detectors, not just those that are calibrated as a means of assuring oneself that the operating characteristics of the detectors and the rate meter have not changed. The GM detectors should be checked daily, since they are used routinely to determine compliance. Other detectors may be checked less frequently. Each region should have an appropriate source of radiation for each of the common types of radiation except, of course, neutrons. Neutron detectors will be Operationally checked at Central Office before being sent to Inspectors, if inspector feels that detector may have issue it can be sent to Central Office to check and evaluate.
Sodium iodide detectors should be checked regularly for changes in response in established radiation fields. Crystals which have been fractured or which have begun to swell and discolor (they will 1
Appendix B-15 Question 17
become yellow as iodine is released) will demonstrate significantly lower count rates than normal.
Although less frequent a problem photomultiplier tubes may also go bad. Generally, a bad photomultiplier tube will be manifested by a sudden rise in count rate with no apparent cause. A damaged photomultiplier tube, however, might demonstrate a decreased count rate if one of the dynodes were displaced.
As well as checking the detectors frequently, each inspector should also check batteries and battery contacts frequently. Also, if the instrument is to be stored for more than thirty days the batteries should be removed1. In humid climates the indicator/desiccant should be checked every month at a minimum and dried as described in Preparation for Calibration when necessary. Cleaning battery contacts every three months will also prevent unexpected losses of power and provide an opportunity to check the condition of the batteries periodically2.
One should be mindful that the calibration of an instrument takes place under a fairly stringently defined set of conditions. Although one would like for these conditions to match those encountered in the field, they rarely do. When making measurements to determine compliance one should to the degree possible use the detector or instrument in the same orientation to the source of radiation as it had during calibration. One should be aware of significant differences in the energy or distribution of energies of the radiations which he is measuring compared to those used during calibration. Note should be made of whether radiation is being measured under broad or narrow beam conditions and whether or not other types of radiation may be present which might interfere with the measurement.
PREPARATION FOR CALIBRATION
Prior to bringing a survey instrument in for calibration each inspector should determine that the batteries are good or, if necessary, replace them. Additionally, in the case of ionization chamber instruments each inspector shall make sure that the indicator/desiccant is dry. If not, it may be dried by pouring it into a dish and heating it in a microwave oven until it turns dark blue or by placing it in a conventional oven and heating it for twelve hours at 250°F or one hour at 400°F3. Always allow sufficient time for the indicator/desiccant to cool before replacing it in its holder.
CALIBRATION PROCEDURES
CALIBRATION FACILITIES
At present all portable survey instruments, except the Raysafe X2s, Ludlum Models 77-3, 9DP, and 2363 are calibrated at the Radiation Controls calibration range. The calibration range is located at the Health and Human Services Warehouse on Technology Blvd in Austin. The range is in a 40ft by 40ft room off the main warehouse floor and currently implements the use of two J.L. Shepherd model 28-6A collimated beam calibrators.
One calibrator originally contained a Cesium-137 source of 120 mCi (4.44 GBq). Source output was verified by the manufacturer to be 40.9 mR hr-1 (1.055E-5 C kg-1hr-1) on August 31, 1989 utilizing the 45° collimator. This reading was taken using an MDH Industries model 2025 X-ray Monitor, calibrated by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), report no. DG8640/87. This is in close agreement (3.2%) with a calculated exposure rate of 39.6 mR hr-1 (1.022E-5 C kg-1hr-1) from a 120 mCi source.

Appendix B-15 Question 17
Subsequent measurements made by the DSHSs personnel on October 3, 1991, using Victoreen R chambers (traceable to NIST test no DG8953/89), produced an average, measured exposure rate 37.9 mR hr-1 (9.78E-6 C kg-1hr-1) with the 45° collimator. The calculated field based on the activity of source as of 10/8/91 would be 37.72 mR hr-1 (9.73E-6 C kg-1hr-1). The difference between the calculated and measured numbers is 0.5%. The expose rate is checked at least bi annually using Fluke electrometer calibrated to NISR standards.
The other calibrator originally contained a Cesium-137 source of 1.2 Ci (44.4 GBq). Source output was verified by the manufacturer to be 312 mR hr-1 (8.05 C kg-1hr-1) on December 6, 1998, utilizing the 30° collimator. This reading was taken using an MDH Industries model 2025 X-ray Monitor, calibrated by NIST, report no. DB917/114. This is in agreement with a calculated exposure rate of 396 mR hr-1 (1.022E-4 C kg-1hr-1) from a 1.2 Ci source. Since the source is 10 times stronger than the previous source the beam edges for the 10 and 30 degree collimators are marked on the floor.
In 2021 the CDV-784 calibrator that originally contained a Cesium-137 source of 130 Ci. Source output was verified by Civil Defense program to be 130 Ci on October 25, 1983 was transferred to Bionomics for disposal.
CALIBRATION PERSONNEL
The individual who will supervise the instrument calibration will have experience in general health physics, the handling of sealed sources, operation of calibrators, operation of test equipment and the use and maintenance of the survey meters to be calibrated.
CONDITIONS OF CALIBRATION
Calibrations may be carried out in several ways:
(1) By national standards laboratories using calibration standards of the highest possible accuracy.
(2) By major government, academic, research or industrial laboratories using institutional standards established by careful comparison with a national standard.
(3) By other groups using working standards (reference instruments) of lesser accuracy that are periodically calibrated by comparison with one of the above-mentioned national or institutional standards (ICRU 1976).
The calibration method described in this procedure falls into the third category.
All calibrations will be conducted within the temperature range 25+/-10°C (ANSI 1978). Additionally, no correction will be made for temperature or air pressure when calibrating ionization chamber instruments which operate at atmospheric pressure. The temperature and air pressure at the time of calibration will be noted on each calibration record and can be used by the inspectors in order to determine actual exposure rates when making measurements in the field (see attached air density correction table). Each inspector may apply this correction factor to normalize the reading to the standard conditions of calibration, then apply the correction factor appropriate for the temperature and air pressure to the corrected reading obtained at the time and date of his survey in order to obtain a more accurate measurement. Or the inspector may choose to apply the actual reading without making adjustments for variations over a reasonable range in temperature and air pressure.

Appendix B-15 Question 17
Although free space geometry should be achieved for photon... instrument calibration (ANSI 1978), some contribution from scatter will occur due to the physical constraints imposed by available facilities and equipment. Tests have been conducted at DSHS in order to ascertain the effects of scatter from collimation, surrounding surfaces and supporting materials. No discernible effects were noted4.
The current activity of the source is calculated as a minimum semiannually. Using the inverse square relationship distances are then calculated in order to obtain a one quarter and three quarter scale reading on each scale of each instrument. Some scales may not be calibrated or may only have a single calibration point. The calibration reports will be annotated accordingly5. Remote GM detectors will be calibrated with the long axis of the detector perpendicular to the central axis of the beam.
If the detector has a window, the window will be closed during calibration. Other GM detectors such as end window or pancake types will not routinely be calibrated for photon radiation fields.
Instruments with internal detectors or chambers will be calibrated with the instrument facing the source of radiation, and the chambers or detectors center at the distance from the source designated as the calibration point and with the center of the detector or chamber within a few centimeters of the central axis of the beam in the vertical and horizontal planes. In all cases calibrations will be performed in such a manner that the sensitive volume of the detector or chamber is fully encompassed by the beam6.
A calibration shall consist of a comparison of the instruments response to a known radiation field at two points on each scale. If an adjustment to the instrument is needed, it will only be made at one of these points. Should the instrument not respond to within +/-10% of the second reading on that scale when checked in the appropriate radiation field, it will be replaced and scheduled for maintenance and/or repair. It should be noted that the error in the reading only relates to the error allowed between the calculated radiation field and the response of the instrument. It does not include the error in the calculation, the error in measurement of the distance, the error in any instrument used to measure the exposure rate or the error in the primary standard. If care is taken, however, the sum of these unexpressed errors should not exceed 10% (IAEA 1971).
The high voltage will not be checked; modern power supplies should generally be capable of providing stable high voltages to within a few per cent or better (IAEA 1971). Nor will an electronic calibration (a check of the linearity of the scale of the rate meter) be performed as part of routine calibration procedures. If an instrument cannot be calibrated within specification in the appropriate radiation fields, then in will be replaced and sent for maintenance and/or repair.

The high range detector will be calibrated over a range of 3 decades and will have at least one of the reading be greater than one Roentgen per hour. The 1x1 sodium iodide detector will be calibrated at a minimum of three points over a range of 20 to 2000 micro-Roentgens per hour.
RADeCO MODEL H809 LOW VOLUME AIR SAMPLERS
Calibration only occurs at a flow rate of two cubic feet per minute. All samples will be collected at this flow rate. The instruments used to calibrate the RADeCO model H810 air samplers are either the RADeCO model 812 and/or 828 calibrators. These are returned to the manufacturer once a year for calibration.
RADeCO MODEL H810 LOW VOLUME AIR SAMPLERS
Routine calibration verifies a flow rate of two to four cubic feet per minute. If routine calibration is not with ten percent of the calibrators value, the sampler with be calibrated in accordance with technical manual to low value of up to one cubic foot per minute and a high value not to exceed ten cubic feet per minute. The instruments used to calibrate the RADeCO model H810 air samplers are either the RADeCO model 812 or 828 calibrators. These are returned to the manufacturer once a year for calibration.
LUDLUM MODEL 77-3
This instruments calibration will be carried out by manufacturer or other certified calibration vender since CDV-784 is no longer available for use.
