The entire circumferences of the radiographic exposure device shall be surveyed. If the radiographic exposure device has a source guide tube, the survey shall include the guide tube.(h) A radiation survey shall be made to determine that each sealed source is in its shielded condition prior to locking a radiographic exposure device, storage container or source changer as required by section 30332.1. Records of all such surveys shall indicate the manufacturer's name, model and serial number of the alarming ratemeter worn by and survey instrument used by the surveyor and the exposure value obtained.
