AW: [ RadSafe ] Pipe coating using Cs-137

[Franz Schönhofer]

Dear collegue,

Your request reminds me to a very long ago lecture (about four decades) of a
professor of mine, who reported the use of a machine, equipped with a Cs-137
source, which was used to clean pipes and which's progress could be
monitored and if it was stuck could be easily located. 

This is obviously similar to your scenario. 

Not being able to answer to the point, because I do not know the radiation
protection regulations in your country, I would believe, that persons
working with radioactive sources (depending on their involvement) might be
classified as radiation workers. 

Again I refer you to your countrie's regulations and if there are nones,
refer to the IAEA guidance rather than to the US regulations. 

Best regards,

Franz
