Sec. 34.13  Specific license for industrial radiography.

    An application for a specific license for the use of licensed

affirm that all individuals acting as industrial radiographers will be

    (h) If an applicant intends to perform leak testing of sealed 
sources or exposure devices containing depleted uranium (DU) shielding, 
the applicant must describe the procedures for performing and the 
qualifications of the person(s) authorized to do the leak testing. If 
the applicant intends to analyze its own wipe samples, the application 
must include a description of the procedures to be followed. The 
description must include the--
    (1) Instruments to be used;
    (2) Methods of performing the analysis; and
    (3) Pertinent experience of the person who will analyze the wipe 
samples.
