The following definitions are applicable for use in this Part only. Additional definitions for use in this Part are located in 32 Ill. Adm. Code 310.20.

 

"Application" means a request filed with the Agency for a license, amendment, termination, renewal, sealed source or device evaluation, amendment to a sealed source or device evaluation or an exemption granted by the Agency pursuant to 32 Ill. Adm. Code:  Chapter II.

 

"Amendment" means a modification in the license document that reflects changes to a radiation safety program or modifications to a sealed source or device evaluation.

 

"Anniversary date" means the last day of the month for each year the license is in effect, corresponding to the month in which the license expires.

AGENCY NOTE:  For purposes of this Part, the 28^th shall be considered the last day of the month of February.

 

"Billing year" means the period of time from October 1 of one year to September 30 of the following year.

 

"Category I irradiator" means a gamma irradiator in which the sealed source is completely contained in a dry container constructed of solid material, the sealed source is shielded at all times, and human access to the sealed source and the volume undergoing irradiation is not physically possible because of the design of the irradiator.

 

"Category II irradiator" means a controlled human access gamma irradiator in which the sealed source is contained in a dry container constructed of solid materials, is fully shielded when not in use and is exposed within a radiation volume that is maintained inaccessible during use by an entry control system.

 

"Category III irradiator" means a gamma irradiator in which the sealed source is contained in a storage pool, the sealed source is shielded at all times, and human access to the sealed source and the volume undergoing irradiation is physically restricted in its design configuration and proper mode of use.

 

"Category IV irradiator" means a controlled human access gamma irradiator in which the sealed source is contained in a storage pool, is fully shielded when not in use and is exposed within a radiation volume that is maintained inaccessible during use by an entry control system.

 

"Confirmatory environmental monitoring" means those surveys conducted by the Agency either to establish whether the licensee has complied with the concentrations and exposure limits or dose limits specified in 32 Ill. Adm. Code 332, 340, 601 or 606, or to provide data to evaluate potential health and environmental impacts resulting from licensed activities.

 

"Custom sealed source or device evaluation" means a document issued by the Agency for either a sealed source or a device containing radioactive material, built to the unique specifications for use at the site specified in the evaluation.
