Or. Admin. Code § 333-101-0010

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 11, November 1, 2024

Section 333-101-0010 - Exemptions

(1) Electronic equipment that produces radiation incidental to its operation for other purposes is exempt from the registration and notification requirements of this division, providing dose equivalent rate averaged over an area of 10 square centimeters does not exceed 5 microSv (0.5 millirem) per hour at five centimeters from any accessible surface of such equipment. The production, testing or factory servicing of such equipment is not exempt.

(2) Radiation machines while in transit or inoperable are exempt from the requirements of this division. For the purposes of registration and fees, the Authority considers an X-ray unit to be inoperable only if the machine's X-ray tube (insert) has been removed or the machine disassembled. With the X-ray tube in place, and the machine assembled, the unit is considered to be operable. If a machine is "in storage," it must be registered and charged a registration fee. However, an "inoperable" machine need not be registered or assessed a fee.

(3) Domestic television receivers are exempt from the requirements of this division.

(4) Electron microscopes are exempt from the requirements of this division, provided that the dose equivalent rate, averaged over an area of 10 square centimeters, does not exceed 5 microSv (0.5 millirem) per hour at five centimeters from any accessible surface of the equipment.

NOTE: Electron microscope: A type of microscope which uses electrons to produce magnified images and may therefore produce ionizing radiation incidental to its use.

(5) Electron beam welding machines and electron beam furnaces are exempt from the requirements of this division, provided that the dose equivalent rate, averaged over an area of 10 square centimeters, does not exceed 5 microSv (0.5 millirem) per hour at five centimeters from any accessible surface of the equipment.

(6) Persons licensed under OAR 333-102-0200 or equivalent specific licenses rules under an Agreement State or the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission are exempt from this requirement.
