(2) General requirements for inspection of industrial radio-
graphic equipment.
(A) Radiographic exposure devices shall be inspected
for:
(i) abnormal surface radiation levels anywhere on
camera, collimator, or guide tube;
(ii) condition of safety plugs;
(iii) proper operation of locking mechanism;
(iv) condition of pigtail connector;
(v) condition of carrying device (straps, handle,
etc.); and
(vi) proper and legible labeling.
(B) Guide tubes shall be inspected for:
(i) rust, dirt, or sludge buildup inside the guide tube;
(ii) condition of guide tube connector;
(iii) condition of source stop;
(iv) kinks or damage that could prevent proper op-
eration; and
(v) presence of radioactive contamination.
(C) Control cables and drive mechanisms shall be in-
spected for:
(i) proper drive mechanism with camera, as appro-
priate;
(ii) changes in general operating characteristics;
(iii) condition of connector on control cable;
(iv) control cable flexibility, wear, and rust;
(v) excessive wear or damage to crank-out devices;
(vi) damage to control cable conduit that could pre-
vent the cable from moving freely;
(vii) proper connector mating between the control
cable and the pigtail;
(viii) proper operation of source position indicator,
if applicable; and
(ix) presence of radioactive contamination.
(D) Pipeliners shall be inspected for:
(i) abnormal surface radiation;
(ii) changes in the general operating characteristics
of the unit;
(iii) proper operation of shutter mechanism;
(iv) chafing or binding of shutter mechanism;
(v) damage to the device that might impair its oper-
ation;
(vi) proper operation of locking mechanism;
(vii) proper drive mechanism with camera, as appro-
priate;
(viii) condition of carrying device (strap, handle,
etc.); and
(ix) proper and legible labeling.(E) X-ray equipment shall be inspected for:
(i) change in the general operating characteristics of
the unit;
(ii) wear of electrical cables and connectors;
(iii) proper and legible labeling of console;
(iv) proper console with machine, as appropriate;
(v) proper operation of locking mechanism;
(vi) proper operation of timer run-down cutoff; and
(vii) damage to tube head housing that might result
in excessive radiation levels.
(3) Operating, safety, and emergency procedures. The li-
censee's or registrant's operating, safety, and emergency procedures
shall include instructions in at least the following:
(A) handling and use of sources of radiation for indus-
trial radiography such that no individual is likely to be exposed to radi-
ation doses that exceed the limits established in 289.202 of this title;
(B) methods and occasions for conducting radiation
surveys, including lock-out survey requirements;
(C) methods for controlling access to industrial radiog-
raphy areas;
(D) methods and occasions for locking and securing
sources of radiation;
(E) personnel monitoring and the use of personnel mon-
itoring equipment, including steps to be taken immediately by indus-
trial radiographic personnel in the event a pocket dosimeter is found to
be off-scale (see subsection (p)(2)(G) of this section);
(F) methods of transporting equipment to field lo-
cations, including packing of sources of radiation in the vehicles,
placarding of vehicles, and controlling of sources of radiation during
transportation, including applicable DOT requirements;
(G) methods or procedures for minimizing exposure of
individuals in the event of an accident, including procedures for a dis-
connect accident, a transportation accident, and loss of a sealed source;
(H) procedures for notifying proper personnel in the
event of an accident;
(I) specific posting requirements;
(J) maintenance of records (see subsection (v)(1) of this
section);
(K) inspection, maintenance, and operational checks of
radiographic exposure devices, source changers, storage containers,
transport containers, source guide tubes, crank-out devices, and radi-
ation machines;
(L) method of testing and training in accordance with
subsections (e) and (f) of this section; and
(M) source recovery procedures if the licensee is autho-
rized to perform source recovery.
289.256. Medical and Veterinary Use qf Radioactive Material.
(a) Purpose. This section establishes requirements for the
medical and veterinary use of radioactive material and for the issuance
of specific licenses authorizing the medical and veterinary use of
radioactive material. Unless otherwise exempted, no person shall
receive, possess, use, transfer, own, or acquire radioactive material for
medical or veterinary use except as authorized in a license issued in32 TexReg 3138 June 8, 2007 Texas Register
