3 Application for authorization Part 2 Category A Industrial radiography This form shall be filled in, and the information/documentation requested shall be attached to the application, in addition to the completed Application for authorization Part 1. The references to the various sections below are to Regulations of 21 November 2003 on Radiation Protection and use of Radiation. The application is concerned with: Performing industrial radiography Maintenance of radiography equipment This form can be used in both cases, but not all the content in this form will be relevant if only applied for one of the two options. Additional information about the enterprise: Name and address of department, local office, etc if applicable: The Radiation Protection Officer (RPO) Name of (central) Radiation Protection Officer: Telephone (direct): If there is more than one Radiation Protection Officer, give name, organization and area of responsibility on a separate sheet. Please see Attachment No.: To meet the competence requirements outlined in section 8 the Radiation Protection Officer should hold a Norwegian radiation protection certificate. Enterprises performing radiation protection training are; Force Technology Norway AS, Strålevernsspesialisten AS and Institute for Energy Technology (IFE). Does the RPO have a Norwegian radiation protection certificate? Yes No If not, please describe the qualifications: 1

4 Operators Radiography in shielded enclosures requires one certified operator (with Norwegian radiation protection certificate). Site radiography requires two certified operators. Radiography in shielded enclosures A shielded enclosure is an enclosed space designed and engineered to provide adequate shielding from ionizing radiation to persons in the vicinity. It incorporates engineering controls to prevent unauthorized access to the sources, and to prevent or minimize potential exposure of persons who do enter when the sources are exposed or energized. To avoid the requirement for two certified operators the shielded enclosure must be approved by the NRPA. Site radiography When objects to be radiographed cannot be physically moved into a shielded enclosure it will be necessary to carry out the work under site radiography condition. Name of the operators: Name Date of employment Does the enterprise have a copy of the radiation protection certificate? Statistical information: Number of shielded enclosures in the enterprise Number of exposures per year in site radiography (estimate) Number of exposures per year in shielded enclosures (estimate) Total number of radiographers in the enterprise Number of certified operators. Number of X-ray generators. Number of exposure containers with a gamma source Number of exposures outside the enterprise Irradiators 2
