Ohio Admin. Code 3701:1-46-39 - Calibration or reference sources containing americium-241 or radium-226: leak testing of each source
Each person licensed under rule
3701:1-46-37
of the Administrative Code shall perform a dry wipe test upon each source
containing more than 3.7 kilobecquerels ( 0.1 microcurie) of americium-241 or
radium-226 prior to transferring the source to a general licensee under rule
3701:1-46-08
of the Administrative Code. This test shall be performed by wiping the entire
radioactive surface of the source with a filter paper with the application of
moderate finger pressure. The radioactivity on the paper shall be measured by
using radiation detection instrumentation capable of detecting one hundred
eighty-five becquerels ( 0.005 microcurie) of americium-241 or radium-226.
If any such test discloses
radioactive material
shall be deemed to be leaking
or losing americium-241 or radium-226 and shall not be transferred to
a general licensee under rule
3701:1-46-08
of the Administrative Code
