Other versions
(1) “”Doubly encapsulated sealed source”” means a sealed source in which the radioactive material is sealed within a capsule which is sealed within another capsule.
(3) “”Irradiator operator”” means an individual who successfully completed the training and testing specified in Fl. Admin. Code R. 64E-5.1416, and who is authorized by the licensee and approved by the department to operate the irradiator without a supervisor present.
(4) “”Panoramic dry-source-storage irradiator”” means an irradiator in which the irradiation occurs in air in areas potentially accessible to personnel and in which the sources are stored in shields made of solid materials. The term includes beam-type dry-source-storage irradiators in which only a narrow beam of radiation is produced to perform irradiations.
(5) “”Panoramic irradiator”” means an irradiator in which the irradiation occurs in air in areas potentially accessible to personnel. The term includes beam-type irradiators.
(6) “”Panoramic wet-source-storage irradiator”” means an irradiator in which the irradiation occurs in air in areas potentially accessible to personnel and in which the sources are stored under water in a storage pool.
(7) “”Pool irradiator”” means an irradiator in which the sources are stored or used in a pool of water, including panoramic wet-source-storage irradiators and underwater irradiators.
(8) “”Product conveyor system”” means a system to move the product to be irradiated to, from, and within the area where irradiation occurs.
(9) “”Radiation room”” means a shielded room in which irradiation occurs. Underwater irradiators do not have radiation rooms.
(10) “”Seismic area”” means any area where the probability of a horizontal acceleration in rock of more than 0.3 times the acceleration of gravity in 250 years is greater than 10 percent as designated by the U.S. Geological Survey.
(11) “”Underwater irradiator”” means an irradiator in which the sources always remain shielded under water and personnel cannot access the sealed source or the space subject to irradiation without entering the pool.

(2) “”Irradiator”” means a facility which uses radioactive sealed sources to irradiate objects or materials and in which radiation dose rates exceeding 500 rads (5 grays) per hour exist at 1 meter from the sealed radioactive sources in air or water, as applicable for the irradiator type, but does not include irradiators in which both the sealed source and the area subject to irradiation are contained within a device and are not accessible to personnel.
(3) “”Irradiator operator”” means an individual who successfully completed the training and testing specified in Fl. Admin. Code R. 64E-5.1416, and who is authorized by the licensee and approved by the department to operate the irradiator without a supervisor present.
