HAR §11-45-182. Shielding and safety design requirements

(a) A qualified health or medical physicist shall be consulted in the design of a particle accelerator installation and called upon to perform a radiation survey when the accelerator is first capable of producing radiation. (b) Each particle accelerator installation shall be provided with such primary and secondary barriers as are necessary to assure compliance with subchapter 4. [Eff 11/12/99] (Auth: HRS §§321-10, 321-11, 321-71) (Imp: HRS §§321-1, 321-11(21), 321-71) §11-45-183 Particle accelerator controls and interlock systems. (a) Instrumentation, readouts, and controls on the particle accelerator control console shall be clearly identified and easily discernible. (b) Each entrance into a target room or other high radiation area shall be provided with a safety interlock that shuts down the accelerator under conditions of barrier penetration. (c) Each safety interlock shall be on a circuit which shall allow it to operate independently of all other safety interlocks. (d) All safety interlocks shall be designed so that any §11-45-183 45-146 defect or component failure in the safety interlock system prevents operation of the accelerator. (e) When a safety interlock system has been tripped, it shall only be possible to resume operation of the accelerator by manually resetting controls at the position where the safety interlock has been tripped and, lastly, at the main control console. (f) A scram button or other emergency power cutoff switch shall be located and easily identifiable in all high radiation areas. Such a cutoff switch shall include a manual reset so that the accelerator cannot be restarted from the accelerator control console without resetting the cutoff switch.
