Sec. 39.69  Radioactive contamination control.

    (a) If the licensee detects evidence that a sealed source has 
ruptured or licensed materials have caused contamination, the licensee 
shall initiate immediately the emergency procedures required by 
Sec. 39.63.
    (b) If contamination results from the use of licensed material in 
well logging, the licensee shall decontaminate all work areas, 
equipment, and unrestricted areas.
    (c) During efforts to recover a sealed source lodged in the well, 
the licensee shall continuously monitor, with an appropriate radiation 
detection instrument or a logging tool with a radiation detector, the 
circulating fluids from the well, if any, to check for contamination 
resulting from damage to the sealed source.
