It also provides procedures and guidelines for the shipment, storage and use of radioactive materials by authorized personnel. 1.3This procedure interfaces with supplement 9 of General Instruction 150.003 (GI-150.003) and provides specific guidelines in addition to those contained in the applicable supplements of the GI.1.4This procedure can only be changed with written approval of the Manager, Inspection Department and with concurrence by the Saudi Aramco Radiation Protection Committee Chairman.2Personnel2.1The Inspection Department's Radiation Safety Representative shall be responsible for monitoring personnel performing inspection activities using radioactive materials and x-ray equipment. These duties shall include, but are not limited to, shipment, personnel qualification, field operations, storage, transportation, safety audits, records, and supervision of NDT personnel for all user organizations. 2.2Saudi Aramco Radiographic personnel are required to pass the Saudi Aramco Radiation Safety Program (Module 2 of the NDE Training Program) or equivalent.2.3All Saudi Aramco or contractor radiographic crews shall have a copy of this Radiation Safety Manual in their vehicle or work location at all times.2.4No Saudi Aramco or Contractor radiographic technician will be allowed to perform Industrial Radiography for or on behalf of Saudi Aramco without having successfully passed the Radiation Safety examination administered by the Loss Prevention Department and be in possession of a current "Saudi Aramco Permit to Use Material/Equipment Producing Ionizing Radiation". prior to the commencement of any work.2.5For radiation safety when using an X-ray machine or an Iridium 192 (Ir 192) radioactive isotope , a radiographic crew shall consist of two (2) qualified and certified personnel who are thoroughly familiar with the equipment being used and Radiation Safety Practices. When Cobalt-60 is being used, as a minimum, a crew shall consist of four (4) radiographic technicians. 3Definitions3.1Authorized Radiographer - An individual specifically authorized by the Saudi Aramco Inspection Department to perform Industrial Radiography for or on behalf of Saudi Aramco.3.2Curie (Ci) - Unit of measure for the decay rate and resulting radiation intensity of a gamma radiation source. Microcurie (mCi) is 1/1,000,000 of a Ci.3.3High Radiation Area - Any area, with levels of radiation in which a major portion of the body human could receive a dose in excess of 100 millirem in any one hour.3.4NDE - Nondestructive Examination.3.5NDT - Nondestructive Testing (same as NDE).3.6Non-radiation worker - any individual who may or may hnot be associated with the radiographic operation not authorized to be in the radiation area ( 2 mR).3.7Radiation Safety Representative - An individual appointed by the Inspection Department that is responsible for monitoring and implementing the procedures or requirements set-forth in this procedure and GI-150.003.3.8Radiography - The examination of materials by nondestructive methods utilizing radioactive isotopes or x-ray generating equipment. 3.9Radiographer - Any individual who performs industrial radiography using radioactive isotopes or x-ray generating equipment.3.10Radiographic exposure device (isotope projector) - Any shielded sealed source that may be moved or changed from the shielded to unshielded position for purposes of making a radiographic exposure.3.11Radiation Area - Any area with levels of radiation in which the human body could receive a dose in excess of 2 millirem (2 mR) in any one hour or a dose in excess of 100 millirem in any 5 consecutive days.3.12Rem - a measure of the dose of any ionizing radiation to the body tissue in terms of its estimated biological effect relative to the absorption of one roentgen of x-rays or gamma rays. One R of x-rays or gamma rays approximately equals one rem. One mR of x-rays or gamma rays equals approximately one mrem (0.001 rem).3.13Removable contamination - Loose radioactive material.3.14Sealed Source - Any radioactive material encased in a capsule designed to prevent leakage or escape of any radioactive substance. 3.15Sievert - The sievert, as in the rem, is a unit of measure for the radiation dose equivalent to man. This takes into consideration the Radiation Biological Effect (RBE) of the radiation source. For x-ray and gamma ray, 10 sieverts (1 rem) is equal to 1 roentgen. In units more common to industrial radiography:1 Sv = 100rem1 mSv = 100mRem1 mSV = 0.1 mRem (10 mSv = 1 mRem)Radiation monitoring instruments are available with scales in both sieverts and rems. To facilitate easy adjustment betwee rem's and sieverts, it should be remembered that with a sievert instrument set in the Sv range, move the decimal place of the reaing one place to the left to convert to rem (e.g., 20 mSv = 2m/r, 35 mSv = 3.5 mR, etc.).3.16Storage Container - A device in which sealed sources are transported or stored.3.17X-ray Equipment - Any electrical device which generates x-ray radiation for radiography.4Personnel Dosimetry4.1TLD And Pocket Dosimeter4.1.1When transporting, handling, or using x-ray equipment or radioactive materials, radiographers shall wear a personnel dosimeter (Thermal Luminescent Dosimeter (TLD)) and a pocket dosimeter at all times.

Such vehicles shall have a storage box affixed to the vehicle, as approved by the Saudi Aramco Inspection Department for the storage of radioactive isotopes during transport. Only authorized personnel having met the requirements of 2.2 and 2.4 of the SAEP, and in possession of personnel radiation monitoring equipment, are authorized to drive or ride in these vehicles regardless if they contain radioactive material or not.8.2Transportation of isotope projectors form facility to facility for the purpose of transfer, servicing, inspection, etc. shall be by qualified and approved individuals as described above. Unless otherwise deemed necessary by the Inspection Department, only one individual is required. For transportation of isotope projectors to and from work sites for the purpose of performing radiography, refer to paragraph 2.3. Prior to loading Ir 192 isotope projectors into a transporting vehicle, one technician shall be responsible to take the device directly from its storage location to the vehicle. The second technician will be in the vehicle to receive the device and place it into its transportation compartments and lock it. The tailgate of the vehicle shall remain down during the loading and unloading of a isotope projector. Loading and unloading of a Co 60 isotope projector requires specific requirements to be conducted under the supervision of the area NDE coordinator or his designee.8.3During this operation a designated individual shall be responsible to fill in the appropriate blocks as required in the "Daily Isotope Log Sheet" (see Attachment 2).8.4The procedures outlined in paragraphs 8.1 and 8.2 shall be followed everytime the loading or unloading of radioactive equipment takes place.8.5When loading or unloading any radioactive device, it shall never put down temporarily for any reason but taken directly to the transporting vehicle or approved storage location.8.6Whenever a sealed source is transported, it must be secured in an approved storage compartment of the transporting vehicle to prevent shifting or loss. The outside of the device and the compartment where it is stored must be posted with a sign bearing the radiation symbol. 8.7A radiation survey shall be made of the storage compartment; radiation levels shall not exceed two (2) mR per hour on the surface. A calibrated radiation survey meter will be used to monitor all shipments and kept available in the driver/passenger area of the vehicle for use at all times. 8.8All vehicles transporting radioactive materials shall be posted with radiation warning signs stating: "Danger, Radiation" on the front and rear of the vehicle.8.9Emergency procedures to be followed in the event of a road accident are detailed in paragraph 11.8.10Vehicles speed transporting radioactive materials shall not exceed 90km/hr. For 4 x 4 vehicles with sand tires the maximum speed limit is 70km/hr.9Restricted Access Radiographic Areas9.1Radiation Area9.1.1Each radiographic area must be roped off and/or posted with a minimum of four signs placed around the perimeter. The precalculated radiation level reading around the perimeter prior to the first radiographic exposure shall not exceed 2 mR per hour as defined in paragraph 3.11.9.1.2A radiation survey shall be conducted as soon as the source is exposed. The radiographer shall keep the area under constant surveillance to protect against unauthorized or accidental entry.9.1.3The radiographer must complete a radiation survey at each radiographic work location.9.1.4If any unauthorized person enters the radiation area the source will be retracted and no exposures made until the area is cleared. The area NDE coordinator shall be verbally notified of the situation and if deemed necessary, the situation shall be considered as an "Incident" requiring investigation.9.2High Radiation AreaWhere space limitations do not allow the boundary to be established at less than, or equal to, 2 mR per hour, then a "Caution High Radiation Area" sign shall be posted around the area perimeter. The perimeter of a high radiation area shall not exceed 100 mr per hour as defined in paragraph 3.3.9.3Radiation Storage FacilitiesPersonnel access to isotope storage facilities requires compliance with the applicable portions of 2 and 4 of this procedure relating to personnel qualification and radiation monitoring. Visitation to storage facilities by non-radiation workers requires that such personnel be in possession of a calibrated pocket dosimeter and accompanied by a qualified radiographic technician in possession of a film badge, pocket dosimeter and survey meter. Access requires the approval of the NDE Supervisor and the facilities must be surveyed prior to the entrance by non-radiation workers.10Procedures For Handling Sealed Sources10.1General10.1.1All sealed sources used for industrial radiography by Saudi Aramco radiographic personnel shall be housed in approved, remote operated, or shielded projector type devices. Any available natural shielding and/or a collimating device shall be used whenever practical.10.1.2When performing radiographic operations a physical survey shall be made after each exposure to determine that the radiation source has been properly returned to its shielded position. The survey shall be accomplished as the radiographer approaches the projector; readings shall be taken at the rear of the projector and top to assure proper retraction. After the physical survey is completed the survey meter should be placed next to the projector until the next exposure is to be made.10.1.3In no case should the levels of radiation for the surveys in 10.1.2 exceed the following limits: 10.1.3.1When a radioactive source is returned to its shielded position inside the storage camera, the radiation level 15 cm.(6 inches) from any surface shall not exceed the limitations set forth by the manufacturer of the equipment. 10.1.3.2When a radioactive source is in its shielded position inside the isotope projector, the maximum radiation reading 4 inches (10 cm) from any exterior surface, shall not exceed 200 mR per hour, or shall not exceed 10 mR per hour three feet (90 cm) from any exterior surface.10.2Radiographic Equipment10.2.1Each radiographer is responsible for checking his own radiographic equipment (isotope projectors, wind-outs, and extensions) prior to each day's assignment. Inspection procedures are detailed in section 13.10.2.2The following are operational steps that should be used when operating isotope projectors at the beginning of a work assignment:10.2.2.1Assure the survey meter is operating properly prior to unloading the projector from its storage container.10.2.2.2When the isotope projector is in its work location, layout the full length of the wind-out cables keeping them as straight as possible.10.2.2.3Unlock the isotope projector and turn the locking device to the correct position, removing the cap, exposing the source pigtail.10.2.2.4Connect the control cable to the pigtail.10.2.2.5Remove the safety plug from the front of the isotope projector and connect the guide tube(s).10.2.2.6Place the guide tube at the exposure location making sure there are no 90 degrees bends in the tube keeping is as straight as possible.10.2.2.7When the isotope projector setup is complete, turn the locking device to "operate".10.2.2.8Prior to the first radiograph, wind out the source to conduct a radiation survey of the area roped off or posted, to check that if radiation levels at the boundaries are at or below the established limits and adjust position of boundaries as necessary.10.2.2.9At the end of each exposure, rewind the source into the isotope projector and conduct a physical survey as described in 10.1.2.10.2.2.10When work is completed, and a survey conducted; turn the locking device to the locked position, disconnect the guide tube and replace the safety plug.10.2.2.11Turn the locking device to the connect position and disconnect source pigtail, replace the cap, and turn the locking device to its locked position (this locks the isotope projector).Note:Source surveys should always be made before, during and after each exposure and when loading and/or unloading an isotope projector.10.3Source changesThe Saudi Aramco Inspection Department Radiation Safety Representative or other authorized individual appointed by the Radiation Safety Representative, will be responsible for supervising or conducting radioactive source changes for equipment owned or in the custody of Saudi Aramco.
