Attached, please find the shielding requirements for the Radiographic Room listed above. This
analysis includes a review of the workload, occupancy rates, use factors, and attenuation materials
affecting the scatter or primary x-ray dose reduction.
These requirements are based upon diagrams, measurements, and workload information submitted
by the facility listed above. The shielding specifications on the attached forms are minimum
thickness requirements. The thicknesses called for in the diagrams are commercially available pre-
laminated leaded sheet rock products that may be used to meet the minimum required shielding
specifications. Standard wall construction incorporating 2 thicknesses of 5/8” gypsum wallboard is
assumed.
All shielding must extend from the finished floor of the adjacent occupied space to a height of 7 feet.
All receptacles, fixtures, junction and breaker boxes, etc. that penetrate the shielding must
themselves be shielded such no direct line-of-sight exists between the exam table and x-ray tube into
any protected area. Also, sufficient overlap should be designed into door jambs to prevent leakage of
radiation from the room (again, no line-of-sight). Door jambs and window frames must also be lead-
lined with lead values listed below. Lead caps on sheet rock screws are not necessary.
The viewing panels for control area barriers and doors must be composed of materials equivalent to
values of lead listed below. The viewing panels should be situated in the barriers such that the edges
of the windows are at least 12 inches from the end of the barrier.
Related References and calculations are based on:

PART 3 EXECUTION
3.01 PREPARATION
A. Review and acquire all construction documentation to successfully understand the
Owner’s Project Requirements.
3.02 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
A. Perform quality-based sampling and testing demonstrations for the Owner. The CxA and
Owner shall determine sampling rates to be used- based on complexity, criticality, and
length. Typical sampling methods include:
1. 100% of highly-complex, highly-critical, short submittals will be reviewed.
a. Example: Large equipment such as Air Handling Units, Chillers, Critical
Facility Management Systems (CFMS), Hot Water Boilers, etc.
2. 100% of all first completed construction checklists, slowly-paced, and one-
instance components will be reviewed.
3. 100% of highly-complex, highly-critical final processes will be reviewed. As
complexity and criticality increases, sampling rates increase to provide a higher
level of assurance. Whereas, low complexity and low criticality repetitive-
processes may be reduced to 20%. During repetitive verification, even when the
sampling rate is 100% or greater, the approach taken is still one of random
sampling. If issues are identified early in the testing process (after 20% testing)
and systemic issues have been identified, there is no reason to continue with the
remaining 80% of the testing, since it has been demonstrated that the system
does not achieve the OPR and resolve is required.
4. In some instances, demonstration of a random sample of other than 100% of the
results of a test is specified. When specified, the sampling plan and procedure
for the test demonstration shall be determined using American Society for Quality
(ASQ) Quality Control Standard Z1.4, “Sampling Procedures and Tables for
Inspection by Attributes.”
a. General Inspection: Per Owner requirements.
b. Special Inspection: Per Owner requirements.
c. Acceptance Quality Limit (AQL) of 1.5.
B. Report test data and commissioning issue resolutions.
C. Schedule personnel to participate in, and perform, commissioning-based activity
work/tasks, as required.

to avoid interference of one data series with another, and to accommodate
different axis scale values. Graphs shall be sufficiently clear to interpret data
within the accuracy required by the acceptance criteria.
2. Provide the printed trend log data collected during the test or test demonstration
to the CxA, or appropriate team member.
3. While the trend log is running, operator intervention that is not directed by the
test procedure invalidates the test results.
B. System Alarm Logs: Record and print out a log of alarms that occurred since the last log
was printed. Evaluate alarms to determine if the previous day's work resulted in any
conditions that are not considered "normal operation."
1. Conditions that are not considered "normal operation" shall be noted on the
System Alarm Log and reported on the commissioning issue log attached.
Resolve as necessary. The intent of this requirement is to discover control
system points or sequences left in manual or disabled conditions, equipment left

3.4 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
A. Field-Adhesion Testing: Field test joint-sealant adhesion to joint substrates as follows:
1. Extent of Testing: Test completed and cured sealant joints as follows:
a. Perform 10 tests for the first 1000 feet of joint length for each kind of sealant and
joint substrate.
b. Perform one test for each 1000 feet of joint length thereafter or one test per each
floor per elevation.
2. Test Method: Test joint sealants according to Method A, Field-Applied Sealant Joint
Hand Pull Tab, in Appendix X1 in ASTM C 1193 or Method A, Tail Procedure, in
ASTM C 1521.
a. For joints with dissimilar substrates, verify adhesion to each substrate separately;
extend cut along one side, verifying adhesion to opposite side. Repeat procedure
for opposite side.
3. Inspect tested joints and report on the following:
a. Whether sealants filled joint cavities and are free of voids.
b. Whether sealant dimensions and configurations comply with specified
requirements.
c. Whether sealants in joints connected to pulled-out portion failed to adhere to joint
substrates or tore cohesively. Include data on pull distance used to test each kind
of product and joint substrate. Compare these results to determine if adhesion
complies with sealant manufacturer's field-adhesion hand-pull test criteria.
4. Record test results in a field-adhesion-test log. Include dates when sealants were
installed, names of persons who installed sealants, test dates, test locations, whether
joints were primed, adhesion results and percent elongations, sealant material, sealant
configuration, and sealant dimensions.
5. Repair sealants pulled from test area by applying new sealants following same
procedures used originally to seal joints. Ensure that original sealant surfaces are clean
and that new sealant contacts original sealant.
B. Evaluation of Field-Adhesion-Test Results: Sealants not evidencing adhesive failure from
testing or noncompliance with other indicated requirements will be considered satisfactory.
Remove sealants that fail to adhere to joint substrates during testing or to comply with other
requirements. Retest failed applications until test results prove sealants comply with indicated
requirements.
