N.J. Admin. Code § 7:28-20.9

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 21, November 4, 2024

Section 7:28-20.9 - Warning devices

(a) A particle accelerator shall not be operated unless the registrant has equipped all locations designated as high radiation areas and all entrances to such locations with clearly observable warning lights that operate when, and only when, radiation is being produced, and which shall be labeled to indicate that, when lit, radiation is being produced. The warning lights shall be included in the electrical circuitry of the particle accelerator such that when a warning light is not lit radiation cannot be produced in any area where personnel may be present.

(b) A particle accelerator shall not be operated unless the registrant has provided in each high radiation area audible and visual warning devices which shall be interlocked and activated for at least 30 seconds prior to production of radiation by the particle accelerator. Such warning devices shall be clearly discernible and labeled as to their function. The audible warning device alarm may be terminated once the high radiation area has been secured. Particle accelerator facilities designed and approved for human exposure are excluded from this requirement.

(c) A particle accelerator shall not be operated unless the registrant has identified barriers, temporary or otherwise, and pathways leading to high radiation areas in accordance with the labeling, posting and control requirements of N.J.A.C. 7:28-10.
