Irradiators covered by the rules in this part are those whose radiation dose rates exceed 500 rads (5 grays) per hour at 1 meter from the radioactive sealed sources in air or in water.
    (3) The rules in this part do not apply to self-contained dry-source-storage irradiators in which both the source and the area subject to irradiation are contained within a device and are not accessible by personnel. This part also does not apply to radioactive material used for medical radiology, teletherapy, industrial radiography, gauging, calibration of radiation instruments, or open-field agricultural irradiations.
