Consenting Process for Radiation Facilities - Atomic Energy ...

(v)
Emergency preparedness plans and procedures (EPP)
Based on the review of the Application for Authorisation and information
obtained from inspection, if any, AERB may issue the Authorisation for use
the radiation source(s) for well logging operation.
The Application format for obtaining the Authorisation for commissioning/
operation for well logging activities involving radiation sources is given in
Annexure 38.
The Consentee is required to submit to AERB, periodic safety status report.
The Consentee should not transfer/move the well logging source(s) to other
site(s), without the permission of AERB.
Any unusual occurrence or loss of radioactive source or devices with source
therein should be promptly reported within 24 hours and this should be
followed by a detailed report within the prescribed period. The AERB may
conduct inspection of well logging site as when required.
3.12.4 Disposal
When the well logging source is no longer to be used, the Consentee should
return the radioactive sources for safe disposal to its original supplier. For
this purpose, the Consentee should obtain an appropriate Authorisation from
AERB. The application format for obtaining the Authorisation for transfer of
radioactive waste for disposal is given in Annexure 50.
3.12.5 Lead Time for Submission/Availability of Documents
The lead time for submission of documents at any stage of Consenting process
is 30 days before the desired date of Consent and the documents should be
complete in all respects for review by AERB.
3.13 Medical Diagnostic X-ray Equipment including Therapy Simulator
3.13.1 Radiotherapy Simulator
3.13.1.1 General
The aim of simulation is to accurately target or localise the volume which is
to be treated. The treatment is planned or simulated on a specially calibrated
diagnostic X-ray machine known as a simulator. Most of the radiotherapy
centres use either conventional radiotherapy simulator or CT-simulator for
localising the target volume and simulating the equipment parameters prior
to the actual radiation dose delivery. Both conventional simulator as well as
CT-simulator use diagnostic X-ray tube (having tube potential ranging from
40 kVp to 150 kVp and tube current ranging from 20 mA to 800 mA).
