Commissioning the gauge
The process of commissioning the gauge includes the following:
•
Taking appropriate radiation field tests by a specifically licensed person
•
Checking the pre-programmed setup parameters
•
Calibrating on process
•
Verifying the working of the gauge
Ohmart Field Service Engineers typically commission the gauge. It is necessary to remove
the source holder lock the first time the gauge takes measurements in the field. Only persons
with a specific license from the U.S. NRC, Agreement State, or other appropriate nuclear
regulatory body may remove the source holder lock.
Note: Users outside the U.S. must comply with the appropriate
nuclear regulatory body regulations in matters pertaining to licensing
and handling the equipment.
Can you remove the source holder lock?
If you are in doubt whether you have permission to remove the source holder lock...Do not!
The license sets limits on what the user can do with the gauge. Licenses fall into two
categories:
1. General
2. Specific
It is up to the user to review the license to determine if they have the appropriate permission
to perform any of the following tasks to the source holder:
•
Disassemble
•
Install
•
Relocate
•
Repair
•
Test
•
Unlock
