Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 64E-5.1402 - Definitions
(1) "Doubly encapsulated sealed source" means
a sealed source in which the radioactive material is sealed within a capsule
which is sealed within another capsule.
(2) "Irradiator" means a facility which uses
radioactive sealed sources to irradiate objects or materials and in which
radiation dose rates exceeding 500 rads (5 grays) per hour exist at 1 meter
from the sealed radioactive sources in air or water, as applicable for the
irradiator type, but does not include irradiators in which both the sealed
source and the area subject to irradiation are contained within a device and
are not accessible to personnel.
(3) "Irradiator operator" means an individual
who successfully completed the training and testing specified in Rule
64E-5.1416, F.A.C., and who is
authorized by the licensee and approved by the department to operate the
irradiator without a supervisor present.
(4) "Panoramic dry-source-storage irradiator"
means an irradiator in which the irradiation occurs in air in areas potentially
accessible to personnel and in which the sources are stored in shields made of
solid materials. The term includes beam-type dry-source-storage irradiators in
which only a narrow beam of radiation is produced to perform
irradiations.
(5) "Panoramic
irradiator" means an irradiator in which the irradiation occurs in air in areas
potentially accessible to personnel. The term includes beam-type
irradiators.
(6) "Panoramic
wet-source-storage irradiator" means an irradiator in which the irradiation
occurs in air in areas potentially accessible to personnel and in which the
sources are stored under water in a storage pool.
(7) "Pool irradiator" means an irradiator in
which the sources are stored or used in a pool of water, including panoramic
wet-source-storage irradiators and underwater irradiators.
(8) "Product conveyor system" means a system
to move the product to be irradiated to, from, and within the area where
irradiation occurs.
(9) "Radiation
room" means a shielded room in which irradiation occurs. Underwater irradiators
do not have radiation rooms.
(10)
"Seismic area" means any area where the probability of a horizontal
acceleration in rock of more than 0.3 times the acceleration of gravity in 250
years is greater than 10 percent as designated by the U.S. Geological
Survey.
(11) "Underwater
irradiator" means an irradiator in which the sources always remain shielded
under water and personnel cannot access the sealed source or the space subject
to irradiation without entering the pool.

State regulations are updated quarterly; we currently have two versions available. Below is a comparison between our most recent version and the prior quarterly release. More comparison features will be added as we have more versions to compare.
