NOTE: The following checklist will be completed by the Radiation Safety Officer~~~~

to ascertain that the employee is qualified to perform radiographic exam-inations as a Radiographer using Iridium 192 as the source of radiation.

This performance test will use a dummy source with no film in the cassettes.

Yes No1 Is the perimeter of the exposure site roped off to a 2 mr/hr

radiation level?2. Are " Caution High Radiation" Signs posted on all sides of the

roped off area?

3. Does the Radiographer wear a film badge, pocket dosimeter itzero, carry a calibrated survey meter, AR&T Operating andEmergency Procedures, copy of NRC Part 19, 20, 347

4. Does the Radiographer have a copy of the AR&T Labs UtilizationLog?

5. Does the Radiographer know how to unlock the camera?6. Does the Radiographer know how to turn the selector ring from

lock position to the connect position?

7. Does the Radiographer know how to slide the Model 661 connectorcollar back and open the jaws of the Model 661 connector toexpose the male _ portion of the swivel type drive cable connec-tor?fs

| 1 8. Does the Radiographer know how to engage the male and female\- # portions of the swivel connector by depressing the spring load-

ed locking pin toward the exposure device with the thumbnail?

9. Does the Radiographer know how to release the locking pin andtest that the connection has been properly made?

10. Does the Radiographer know how to close the jaws of the Model661 connector over the swivel connector?

11. Does the Radiographer know how to slide the Model 661 connectorcollar over the connector jaws and hold the collar flush againstthe control unit connector and rotate the selector ring fromthe connect position to the lock position?

12. Does the Radiographer keep the exposure device locked untiloperation is ready to start?

13. Does the Radiographer position and secure the source stop ofthe master source guide tube at the radiographic focal positionusing the tripod stand and swivel clamps?

14 With the exposure device positioned and the extender sourceguide tubes show no bend radius less than 20 inches.

15. Does the Radiographer know how to connect the source guide tubesto the exposure device?

16. Is the control housing laid out with no bend radii less than 36inches?

17 Does the Radiographer know how to connect the control unit tothe exposure device?

18. Before operation does the Radiographer check all connections,

("'s bend radii, and source stop?A _,/ 19. Did the Radiographer check the operation of the survey meter bys

reading the radiation level six (6) inches from the surface ofthe exposure device (50 mr/hr for 100 curie Iridium 192 source)?

20. How does the Radiographer know when the source is free to move?
