(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). 63
3.13.1.2 Site and Layout Plan Approval The Site and Layout Plan of the radiotherapy simulator/CT-simulator room has to be approved by AERB prior to its construction. The technical parameters as applicable for Site and Layout Plan approval are to be submitted by the applicant. The format for Application for Site and Layout Plan Approval for radiotherapy simulator/CT-simulator is given in Annexure 20. 3.13.1.3 Construction The construction of radiotherapy simulator/CT-simulator facility can be started after obtaining layout plan approval and no separate regulatory approval is required for construction. 3.13.1.4 Procurement of Radiotherapy Simulator In order to localise the target volume and simulate the equipment parameters prior to the actual radiation dose delivery using Radiotherapy simulator/CTsimulator unit, the applicant should first submit an application to obtain consent for procurement of radiotherapy simulator/CT-simulator unit. The consentee should ensure before procurement that the radiotherapy simulator/ CT-simulator unit is type approved. In case the radiotherapy simulator/CTsimulator unit is not type approved, the local manufacturer/local supplier should submit the documents to AERB demonstrating the compliance with the applicable national/international standards and the Type Approval procedures as per subsection 3.18.1 shall be followed. Prior to the procurement of the source or equipment with source the applicant should have the following: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) Radiological safety officer (RSO) Personnel monitoring devices Protection level dosimeters Radiation protection manual Room constructed as per AERB approved layout plan. The Radiation Protection Manual is as per Appendix 7E. Based on review of the Application, AERB may issue Consent for the procurement of radiotherapy simulator/CT-simulator unit. The Application format for obtaining Consent for procurement/import of radiotherapy simulator is given in Annexure 21. 64
