180 NAC 14-021. RADIOACTIVE CONTAMINATION CONTROL

021. RADIOACTIVE CONTAMINATION CONTROL. 021.01 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES. If the licensee detects evidence a sealed source has ruptured or radioactive materials have caused contamination, the licensee must immediately initiate the emergency procedures required by 180 NAC 14-018. 021.02 DECONTAMINATION. If contamination results from the use of radioactive material in well logging, the licensee must decontaminate all work areas, equipment, and unrestricted areas. 021.03 MONITOR CIRCULATING FLUIDS. During efforts to recover a sealed source lodged in the well, the licensee must continuously monitor, with an appropriate radiation detection instrument or a logging tool with a radiation detector, circulating fluids from the well, if any, to check for contamination resulting from damage to the sealed source.
