(1) Provide measurements or evaluations demonstrating compliance with these regulations; and

(2) are necessary under the circumstances to evaluate the following:

(A) Radiation and radiological contamination levels;

(B) concentrations or quantities of radioactive material; and

(C) the potential radiological hazards that could be present.

(c) Each licensee or registrant shall ensure that instruments and equipment used for quantitative radiation measurements are calibrated at intervals not to exceed 12 months, for the type of radiation measured.

(e) All personnel dosimeters, except for direct and indirect reading pocket ionization chambers and those dosimeters used to measure the dose to the extremities that require processing to determine the radiation dose and are used by licensees to comply with these regulations or with conditions specified in a license, shall be processed and evaluated by a dosimetry processor that meets the following requirements:

(1) Holds current personnel dosimetry accreditation from the national voluntary laboratory accreditation program (NVLAP) of the national institute of standards and technology; and

(2) is accredited for the type of radiation or radiations included in the NVLAP program that most closely approximates the type of radiation or radiations for which the individual wearing the dosimeter is monitored.
