Section 64E-5.1318 - Instrumentation(1) The licensee shall have instruments available to detect radioactive materials listed on the license, unless otherwise authorized by the department. Instrumentation shall be sensitive enough to detect activities required for adequate contamination control described in this part.(2) The licensee must submit a description of the equipment and procedures to be followed in measuring contamination for departmental approval. These procedures shall include the following:(a) Type of instrument detection system used, such as a Geiger-Mueller or scintillation detector with a scaler, single or multichannel analyzer, and type of radiation detected;(b) Background counting times and average background counts;(c) Sample counting times;(d) Instrument efficiency and calculation of efficiency determination;(e) Instrument's lower limit of detection using the sample counting time and the isotope and activity of calibration standards;(f) Sample calculation converting counting results into activity or activity per unit time, if applicable; and,(g) Frequency of instrument calibration.(3) If portable radiation survey instruments are used to determine compliance with the contamination control action levels described in this part, the instruments shall be operable and calibrated as provided in Rule 64E-5.314, F.A.C.Fla.
