E.3 About Intrinsic Activity
Some models of the radEAGLET-R contain an extremely low-activity radioactive source. De-
tails are given in Appendix E.1, p.
p. 159).
Figure 156:
E.3.1 General Rules for Handling Radioactive Material
The quantities of radioactive material contained in the radEAGLET-R is extremely small and
present no known radiation hazard. However, it is always a good practice to minimize expo-
sure by following the basic principle of ALARA: As Low As Reasonably Achievable.
Decrease time and increase distance and shielding when handling these sources.
Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where radioactive materi-
als are used and/or stored.
Radioactive materials should only be used by, or under the supervision of a responsible
person in authorized areas.
The regulations of your jurisdiction for disposal of radioactive material and electric
devices must be followed.
E.3.2 For the United States of America
The radioactive material contained in the radEAGLET-R is exempt from U.S. NRC
and/or Agreement State licensing requirements.
The radiation exposure rate at any point on the external surface of this product does
not exceed 5 Sv/h (0.5 mrem/h).
Radioactive Material — Not for human use — introduction into foods, beverages, cos-
metics, drugs, or medicinals, or into products manufactured for commercial distribu-
tion is prohibited — Exempt Quantities Should Not be Combined.
In accordance with the U.S. NRC regulations, these exempt quantity products may
be disposed of in regular waste providing all radiation symbols and other identifying
