SPECIFIC LICENSE
Possession and use of the radioactive material found in a nuclear gauge
requires the operator to maintain a specific license issued by the United
States Nuclear Regulatory Commission or equivalent agreement state
licensing agency. Troxler Electronic Laboratories, Inc. will provide
assistance and information for obtaining the necessary license.
RADIATION SAFETY PROGRAM
The specific license dictates that nuclear gauge operators maintain control
of the gauge in a manner to minimize radiation exposure to operators and
the general public. To determine the requirements applicable to your
operation, review both your licensing documents and the radiation safety
procedures accompanying your license application. The following
requirements are generally accepted by all licensing agencies in the U.S.
PERSONNEL MONITORING
Most licensing agencies do
require personnel monitoring devices to be
worn by nuclear gauge operators. These devices record the actual radiation
to which the operator is exposed while operating the equipment. When the
equipment is not in use, the personnel monitoring device should be kept in
a radiation free area. The reports of radiation exposure supplied by the
personnel monitoring service must be maintained on file and available for
review by employees and the licensing agency. Contact Troxler or their
appointed representative for help in obtaining personnel monitoring
devices or radiation monitoring equipment.
SECURITY
Regulations further require that operators provide all necessary security to
prevent unauthorized use or removal of the gauge when in storage or in
transit. The transport case can be locked. A lock may be obtained from
Troxler (Part Number 12176). The gauge is supplied with a lock to secure
the source rod in the SAFE, shielded position.
