(B) When an agency order has been issued for an indus-
trial radiographer to cease and desist from the use of sources of radi-
ation or the agency suspends or revokes the individual's radiographer
certification, the radiographer shall surrender the certification ID card
to the agency until the order is changed or the suspension expires.
(C) An individual whose radiographer certification has
been suspended or revoked by the agency or another certifying entity
shall comply with the process and/or conditions of the suspension or
revocation orders before certification is reinstated, or the individual is
permitted by the agency to apply for a new certification.
(5) Reciprocity of a radiographer certification.
(A) Reciprocal recognition by the agency of an individ-
ual radiographer certification will be granted provided that:
(i) the individual holds a valid certification in the ap-
propriate category and class issued by a certifying entity, as defined in
subsection (c) of this section;
(ii) the requirements and procedures of the certify-
ing entity issuing the certification afford the same or comparable certi-
fication standards as those afforded by subsection (e)(2)(A)(i) - (iii) of
this section; and
(iii) the individual submits a legible copy of the cer-
tification to the agency prior to entry into Texas.
(B) Enforcement actions with the agency, another
agreement state, or the NRC or sanctions by an independent certifying
entity may be considered when reviewing a request for reciprocal
recognition from a licensee, registrant, or certified radiographer.
(C) Certified radiographers who are granted reciprocity
by the agency shall maintain the certification upon which the reciprocal
recognition was granted, or prior to the expiration of such certification,
shall meet the requirements of paragraph (3) of this subsection.
(i) Receipt, transfer, and disposal of sources of radiation and
devices using depleted uranium (DU) for shielding.
(1) Each licensee and registrant shall make and maintain
records in accordance with subsection (v)(1) of this section, showing
the receipt, transfer, and disposal of sources of radiation and devices
using DU for shielding.
(2) These records shall include the following, as appropri-
ate:
(A) date of receipt, transfer, or disposal;
(B) name of the individual making the record;
(C) radionuclide;
(D) number of curies (becquerels) or mass (for DU);
(E) manufacturer, model, and serial number of each
source of radiation and/or device;
(F) for the person transferring the source of radiation,
the name of the transferee, the number of the transferee's radioactive
material license authorizing possession of the material, and the regula-
tory agency issuing the license to the transferee; and
(G) for the person receiving the source of radiation, the
name of the transferor, the number of the transferor's radioactive ma-
terial license authorizing possession of the material, and the regulatory
agency issuing the license to the transferor.
j) Radiation survey instruments.(1) Each licensee and registrant shall have a sufficient num-
ber of calibrated, appropriate, and operable radiation survey instru-
ments at each location where sources of radiation are present to per-
form the radiation surveys required by this section and 289.202(p)(1)
and (2) of this title and 289.231(s)(1) and (2) of this title, as applica-
ble. These radiation survey instruments shall be capable of measuring a
range from 2 mrem/hr (0.002 mSv/hr) through 1 rem per hour (rem/hr)
(0.01 sievert per hour (Sv/hr)).
(2) Each radiation survey instrument shall be calibrated:
(A) by a person licensed or registered by the agency,
another agreement state, or the NRC to perform such service;
(B) at energies appropriate for the licensee's or regis-
trant's use;
(C) at intervals not to exceed six months and after each
instrument servicing other than battery replacement;
(D) at two points located approximately one-third and
two-thirds of full-scale on each scale for linear scale instruments; for
logarithmic scale instruments, at mid-range of each decade, and at two
points of at least one decade; and for digital instruments, at three points
between 2 and 1,000 mrem/hr (0.02 and 10 mSv/hr); and
(E) to demonstrate an accuracy within plus or minus
20% of the true radiation level at each point checked.
(3) Each radiation survey instrument shall be checked with
a radiation source at the beginning of each day of use and at the begin-
ning of each work shift to ensure it is operating properly.
(4) Records of the calibrations required by paragraph (2)
of this subsection shall be maintained in accordance with subsection
(v)(1) of this section.
(k) Quarterly inventory.
(1) Each licensee and registrant shall perform a physical
inventory at intervals not to exceed three months to account for all
sources of radiation and for devices containing DU received or pos-
sessed.
(2) Records of the quarterly inventories required by para-
graph (1) of this subsection shall be made and maintained in accordance
with subsection (v)(1) of this section.
(3) The record shall include the following for each source
of radiation, as appropriate:
(A) manufacturer, model, and serial number;
(B) radionuclide;
(C) number of curies (except for depleted uranium);
(D) location of each source of radiation;
(E) date of the inventory; and
(F) name of the individual making the inventory.
(1) Utilization logs.
(1) Each licensee and registrant shall make and maintain
current logs of the use, removal, and return to storage of each source of
radiation. The information shall be recorded in the log when the source
is removed from and returned to storage. The logs shall include:
(A) a unique identification, for example, make, model
and serial number, of the following:
