180 NAC 4-036. LABELING CONTAINERS AND RADIATION MACHINES

036. LABELING CONTAINERS AND RADIATION MACHINES. The requirements for labeling containers and radiation machines are as follows. 036.01 RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL LABEL. The licensee or registrant must ensure that each container of licensed or registered material bears a durable, clearly visible label bearing the radiation symbol and the words "CAUTION, RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL" or "DANGER, RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL." The label must also provide information, such as the radionuclides present, an estimate of the quantity of radioactivity, the date for which the activity is estimated, radiation levels, kinds of materials, and mass enrichment, to permit individuals handling or using the containers, or working in the vicinity of the containers, to take precautions to avoid or minimize exposures. 036.02 RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL LABEL REMOVAL. Each licensee or registrant must, prior to removal or disposal of empty uncontaminated containers to unrestricted areas, remove or deface the radioactive material label or otherwise clearly indicate that the container no longer contains radioactive materials. 036.03 RADIATION MACHINE LABEL. Each registrant must ensure that each radiation machine is labeled in a conspicuous manner which cautions individuals that radiation is produced when it is energized.
