What are the shielding requirements for an x-ray unit?
Shielding requirements for x-ray units will vary depending on the type and use of the unit. When a plan is required, a facility must, before construction, submit a radiation shielding plan and a shielding review fee ($62.50) to the Department for review. The shielding plan must be reviewed by a Class III, Class IV, Class VII, or Class IX registered vendor. After the equipment is installed, “as-built” drawings and the area survey (if applicable) are required to be submitted to the Department.
