Section 225.102. Shielded room X-ray radiography

(a) A room used for shielded room X-ray radiography shall be shielded so that every location on the exterior meets conditions for an unrestricted area and the only access to the room is through openings which are interlocked so that the radiation source will not operate unless all openings are securely closed and meet the requirements of 10 CFR 20.1601 (relating to control of access to high radiation areas).

(b) The operator shall conduct a physical radiation survey to determine that the radiation source is deenergized prior to each entry into the radiographic exposure area.

(c) As an alternative to subsection (b), the registrant may use an independent radiation monitoring system that displays the radiation intensity or displays when radiation levels have returned to their pre-irradiation levels.

(d) With the exception of the provisions in § § 225.4a, 225.76 and 225.84 (relating to radiation safety program; reporting requirements; and operating and emergency procedures), shielded room radiography is exempt from all other provisions of this chapter.
