3. INSTALLATION
3.1 General Safety Precautions
The shielding with the radioactive source is delivered in a box in compliance with
the regulations concerning the transportation of radioactive devices.
Take the shielding out of the box just prior to installation. Up to that time,
store it in a location that is guarded against unauthorized access.
Using the drawings of the shielding and taking into account the situation at the
measuring site, carefully install the mounting brackets and fixtures. Make sure
that the mechanical rigidity of the mounting hardware matches the weight of the
shielding. The shielding should be mounted just prior to taking the system into
operation.
Tighten all screws and fixing parts, so that they cannot come undone dur-
ing operation.
Only persons specifically licensed by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission or
an Agreement State may move, install or disassemble the shielding containing a
radio active source.
The work is performed according to drawings and under the supervision of the
Radiation Safety Officer.
Very important! Please read the Radiation Protection Guidelines in
SECTION 9 RADIATION PROTECTION and observe them exactly!
