Section R12-1-1734. Use of a Sealed Source in a Well Without a Sur- face Casing and Particle Accelerators

A.      A licensee or registrant may use a sealed source in a well with- out a surface casing to protect a fresh water aquifer if the licensee follows the correct procedure for reducing the proba- bility that the source will become lodged in the well.

B.       A licensee or registrant shall not begin well logging operations in a well without a surface casing unless the Agency has approved the licensee’s procedure for logging in an uncased hole.

C.      A licensee or registrant shall not permit above-ground testing of a particle accelerator, designed for use in well-logging, which results in the production of radiation, unless the area or facility affected is controlled or shielded in a manner consis- tent with applicable requirements in Article 4 of this Chapter.
