As required by the "North Carolina Regulations For
Protection Against Radiation" rule .0205 Application For Registration of
Services. Each registrant who is engaged in the business of installing
or offering to install radiation machines and machine components or is
engaged in the business of furnishing or offering to furnish any equipment
services to any licensee or registrant, shall apply for registration of such
services with the agency prior to furnishing or offering to furnish any of
these services. A plan review, also called a shielding design, must be
submitted for review prior to installation of x-ray equipment pursuant
to Rule .0603 of 15A NCAC 11 "The North Carolina Regulations for
Protection Against Radiation". The plan review/shielding design must be
submitted t for review and acknowledgment by North Carolina Radiation
Protection. A
plan review/shielding design illustrates the equipment arrangement of an
x-ray room and projects lead or lead-equivalent shielding needed to confine
radiation within the x-ray room. This shielding serves to protect occupants
of adjoining rooms and the x-ray operator who is required to remain behind a
protective barrier during exposures. A contracted qualified expert obtains
information from the facility concerning occupancy rate of applicable areas
and workload (number of x-rays taken in a period of time) of the x-ray room
and performs calculations according to NCRP 49 and NCRP 147 recommendations.
Recommendations for shielding in each barrier in the room are projected from
these calculations. Upon
completion of installation of x-ray equipment a post installation survey is
required to document shielding integrity. The post-installation survey must
be performed by a registered, qualified expert.
