Are there requirements for a shielding evaluation?
Yes. When you submit your application for registration, you must also submit a floor plan indicating x-ray work area, machine position, amount of lead in the walls, functions on the other side of the walls, etc. Professional health physicists in the community normally perform these shielding evaluations. Their surveys and evaluations are generally accepted for review by the agency. A list of these persons performing shielding evaluations is available on this web site.
