Section 320.220  Radiation Detection Kit Exchange Procedures

a)         Radiation detection kit exchange procedures are as follows:

1)         Radiation detection kits in the possession of federal, state and local agencies will be exchanged on a four-year cycle through the IESDA M & C Shop on a kit-for-kit basis.

2)         The radiation detection kits in the possession of local governments except Cook County, will be exchanged on a kit-for-kit basis through the county ESDA office. Arrangement for radiation detection kit exchange for local governments located in Cook County and counties that do not have ESDAs shall be made through the local government within that county.  Arrangements for pick-up and delivery of radiation detection kits shall be made between the county ESDA coordinator or, in the case of Cook County and counties that do not have ESDAs, between the local government and the IESDA M & C Shop Manager at least one month before the scheduled exchange.  The County ESDA Coordinator except Cook County and counties that do not have ESDAs, is the point of contact through which local governments shall exchange radiation detection equipment.

3)         Any radiation detection instrument or associated equipment that needs to be sent to the IESDA M & C Shop for any reason shall be transmitted through the IESDA Regional Coordinator's office pursuant to instructions contained in subsection (320.130(g)) of Subpart A.

b)         Instrument Serial Numbers.  Since radiation detection kit exchange will occur on a kit-for-kit basis, local governments shall ensure that each radiation detection kit contains only the type, model, and quantity of instruments that have been assigned to that particular kit.  Each radiation detection kit will contain the type and quantity of items shown in Exhibit B.  Radiation detection kits with missing radiation detection instruments or radiation detection kits with inappropriate radiation detection instrument model counts shall be so noted.  The IESDA M & C Shop will not give full credit for radiation detection kits missing any radiation detection instruments and Associated equipment.

AGENCY NOTE:  THE IESDA M & C SHOP WILL NOT ACCEPT RADIATION DETECTION INSTRUMENTS OR RADIATION DETECTION KITS FROM ANY SOURCE OTHER THAN AN IESDA REGIONAL COORDINATOR, A COUNTY ESDA COORDINATOR, FEDERAL OR STATE AGENCIES OR, IN COOK COUNTY, THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT DESIGNEE.
