Universal Citation: HI Admin Rules 11-45-56

Current through February, 2024

(a) In addition to the requirements in section 11-45-55, the licensee shall institute additional measures to ensure that an individual is not able to gain unauthorized or inadvertent access to areas in which radiation levels could be encountered at five hundred rads (five grays) or more in one hour at one meter from a source of radiation or any surface through which the radiation penetrates. This requirement does not apply to rooms or areas in which diagnostic x-ray systems are the only source of radiation, or to non-self-shielded irradiators.

(b) The licensee is not required to control entrance or access to rooms or other areas containing sources of radiation capable of producing a very high radiation area as described in subsection (a) if the licensee has met all the specific requirements for access and control specified in other applicable subchapters.
