(a) Each entrance that is used for personnel access to the high radiation area, defined in title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 20 (10 CFR 20), section 20.1003 incorporated by reference in section 30253, in a permanent radiographic installation shall have either:
(1) A control device that, upon entry into the area, causes the level of radiation to be reduced below that level at which an individual might receive a deep-dose equivalent, defined in 10 CFR 20, section 20.1003 incorporated by reference in section 30253, of 0.1 rem in one hour at 30 centimeters from the radiation source or from any surface that the radiation penetrates; or
(2) Both conspicuously visible and audible warning signals to warn of the presence of radiation. The visible signal shall be continuously actuated by radiation whenever a source is exposed. The audible signal shall be actuated when an attempt is made to enter the installation while the source is exposed.
(b) If access is controlled pursuant to subsection (a)(1), the entrance control device shall be tested monthly. If access is controlled pursuant to subsection (a)(2), the system shall be tested with a radiation source each day before the installation is used for radiographic operations and shall include a check of both the visible and audible warning signals. In either case, if an entrance control device or warning signal is operating improperly, it shall be immediately labeled as defective and repaired within 30 calendar days. The installation may continue to be used during this 30-day period provided the licensee complies with section 30334 and each individual wears an alarming ratemeter in addition to other dosimeters required by section 30333.2(a).
(c) Documentation demonstrating compliance with this section shall be maintained for three years and kept available for inspection.
