Some information contained in this manual is used in training courses
offered by Troxler Electronic Laboratories, Inc., to assist purchasers in
obtaining a Radioactive Materials License from the U.S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission (NRC) or an Agreement State. Owners are
encouraged to require study of this manual by operator(s) before allowing
any use of the instrument.
While no radiation hazard is imposed on operator(s) during
normal use, a potential hazard does exist if improperly used. The
sections of the manual covering radiological safety should be
required reading for all operators and potential operators. If these
sections are not completely understood, operators should seek
assistance from Troxler, an appointed Troxler representative or
others designated within the operator organization. Additional
nuclear safety information is available by attending a Troxler
Nuclear Gauge Training Course.
As changes are made to local, state, and federal regulations on a continuing
basis, the owner/operator must maintain a knowledge of these regulations.
The responsibility for compliance ultimately falls upon the owner. The
owner may also wish to purchase and subscribe to Titles 10 and 49 of the
U.S. Code of Federal Regulations in addition to applicable local/state
regulations pertinent to the owner’s license.
Any licensing issues discussed in this manual are for the United States. To
purchase a Model 3440 in Canada, owners must obtain a radioisotope
license from the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC). The
owner should obtain copies of the CNSC Regulations and the
Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act and Regulations. This manual
provides a guide to Canadian shipping requirements on page E–4.
NOTE
International communities should follow local regulations
regarding products utilizing radioactive materials.
