STEP 4 Continued

 

 

Projecting and Retracting the Source Assembly 

 

 

 
Push the lock slide 

GREEN MARKING

 laterally from 

left to right (as seen behind the projector) until the lock 
slide 

RED MARKING 

fully appears from behind the 

previous position of the lock slide and you feel or hear 
the sleeve snap into the slide. 
When the 

GREEN MARKING

 is visible, the source 

assembly is locked into the secured position within the 
gamma-ray source projector. 

 

 

 

 

When both 

RED MARKINGS 

are visible, the

 

source 

assembly is free to be projected from, and retracted 
to, the gamma-ray source projector.   

Ensure all personnel leave the immediate area. 

Go to the remote control crank. 

If an odometer is fitted, adjust the reset knob to read 
zero. 

The source assembly can now be projected. 

 

 

Projecting 

Rapidly rotate the control crank handle in the 

EXPOSE 

direction (counter-clockwise on standard 

controls, clockwise on reverse controls) to move the source assembly out of the gamma-ray source 
projector to the radiographic focal position. 

The control crank handle will stop turning when the source reaches the source stop.  Do not use 
excessive force. 

The odometer (if fitted) will indicate the approximate total distance traveled, 7 ft (2.1 m) for each guide 
tube section. 

Set the brake to ON to prevent movement of the source assembly during the radiographic exposure. 

Start timing the radiographic exposure from the moment the source assembly reaches the exposure 
head. 

Survey meter readings observed during the projection operation should increase rapidly from 
background to a high level as the source emerges from the projector.  Then readings should fall as 
the source moves out towards the focal point, fall sharply as the source enters a collimator (if used) 
and remain steady throughout the exposure. 

Actual survey meter readings will depend on the source activity, distance, collimators and shielding.  
The sequence of changes should be observed and the readings noted.
