Dear Sir,
Enclosed are the following regulatory compliance reports (Part 4.15) documents for the new
Nuclear Medicine Suite at Vail Valley Medical Center, Vail, Colorado:
RH 4.15 Regulatory Compliance Report – Nuclear Medicine Camera (105A)
RH 4.15 Regulatory Compliance Report – Hot Lab (104B)
RH 4.15 Regulatory Compliance Report – Injection Area
Based on your direction to move the existing Siemens e.cam Signature gamma camera and the
existing program to the new space, no addition lead shielding is required for any of the barriers
in the suite. The existing localized shielding for the hot lab will be moved to the new area.
This analysis is based on information, both written and oral, provided by yourself and Ryan
Collier, Senior Architect, Davis Partnership Architects. The NM suite plan sent to me on
12/09/16 is the final plan I used for the design.
In this design, I followed the methods outlined by NCRP Report No. 147. The goal was to shield
to 0.02 mGy per week air kerma (1 mGy/year) in uncontrolled areas and 0.1 mGy per week air
kerma (5 mGy/year) in controlled areas.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call.
Sincerely,
Joel McAllister, M.S., DABR, CHP, DABSNM

The calculations below demonstrate that the new Imaging Room at Vail Valley Medical Center will meet the requirements of RH 4.14 and
RH 4.15 of the State of Colorado Rules and Regulations Pertaining to Radiation Control.
The most common situation was identified to be a patient containing 25 mCi or less of Tc-99m for a diagnostic study in the imaging room.
For a high workload scenario, I assume a patient containing 25 mCi of Tc-99m will be present in the scanner room 45 minutes per hour, 8
hours per day.
I assume that patient attenuation offers about one half-value-layer of reduction in this analysis. Scanner shielding, while significant, was
not taken into account.
The results above demonstrate compliance with RH 4.14 and RH 4.15.

The calculations below demonstrate that the new Hot Lab at Vail Valley Medical Center will meet the requirements of RH 4.14 and RH
4.15 of the State of Colorado Rules and Regulations Pertaining to Radiation Control.
The most common exposure situation was identified to be the daily drawing/mixing/assaying of Tc-99m dosages throughout the work day.
For this high workload situation, I assumed a 25 mCi Tc-99m product is in air 15 minutes per 8 hour day.
Localized lead shielding is used in the Hot Lab. While the L-shield, syringe shield, and lead bricks provide significant shielding for the
technologist and the surrounding areas, I did not account for this in the analysis.
The results above demonstrate compliance with RH 4.14 and RH 4.15.

The most common situation was identified to be a patient being injected with 25 mCi or less of Tc-99m for a diagnostic study. For a high
workload scenario, I assume a patient will be injected with 25 mCi of Tc-99m and will be present in the uptake room 15 minutes per hour,
8 hours per day.
I assume that patient attenuation offers about one half-value-layer of reduction in this analysis.

Dear Sir,
Enclosed are the following documents for the new Nuclear Medicine Suite at Vail Valley
Medical Center, Vail, Colorado:
Radiation Shielding Design Report – SPECT/CT Suite Option
Shielding Installation Notes
This design is provided, per your request, for later installation of a Siemens Symbia Intevo
SPECT-CT unit or equivalent. I evaluated the current models that are available (Excel, 2, 6, 16)
and shielded the room for the higher slice and higher workload machine.
This analysis is based on information, both written and oral, provided by yourself and KC Baker,
former Radiology Director. The NM cut sheet sent to me on 02/07/17 is the final plan I used for
the design. Wall sections are indicated by reference letters on the drawing and the recommended
shielding for each barrier is shown in the attached tables.
In this design, I followed the methods outlined by NCRP Report No. 147. The goal was to shield
to 0.02 mGy per week air kerma (1 mGy/year) in uncontrolled areas and 0.1 mGy per week air
kerma (5 mGy/year) in controlled areas.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call.
Sincerely,

SHIELDING INSTALLATION NOTES
1. Lead barriers shall extend to a height of 7 feet above the finished floor unless otherwise
specified.
2. All joints between lead sheets should be constructed so that their surfaces are in contact and
have an overlap of at least 0.5" such that no gaps exist.
3. All penetrations of the lead shielding (electrical outlets, light fixtures, switches, pipes, ducts,
etc.) must be shielded by placing equivalent lead shielding behind the penetration with sufficient
overlap to prevent a direct "line-of-sight" from the radiation source. No additional shielding is
necessary for nail or screw holes used to secure the shielding, provided the nail or screw remains
in the hole as a part of the wall.
4. All doors shall be shielded with the same lead thickness as the adjacent wall unless otherwise
specified. Doors should extend as close to the floor as possible. When doors are exposed to
direct radiation, special designs may be necessary to prevent excess scatter of radiation under the
door. All doors that require lead should have lead lined lock sets and latches and the door frames
should be lead lined to overlap the lead in the door and adjacent walls.
5. All windows in the shielded room shall be leaded glass, equivalent to the adjacent wall unless
specified otherwise. All window frames shall be lead lined to overlap the adjacent wall.
6. Doors to toilets or dressing rooms opening into x-ray rooms should be provided with
one-way opening latches to be opened only from the x-ray room side, unless the toilet or
dressing room is accessible only from that x-ray room.
7. A permanent placard should be mounted by the contractor in the room specifying the amount
and type of shielding in each of the walls.
8. Any film storage areas around the x-ray installation may require additional shielding of the
storage bin to provide for extended storage of film without fogging.
9. The adequacy and proper installation of radiation barriers shall be verified by a qualified
expert conducting a radiation protection survey after the x-ray machine has been installed.
10. All rooms are designed for a specific application and for a specific location of equipment
and control functions. Any future modification or renovation of an existing x-ray facility, or
installation of a new x-ray machine in an existing x-ray facility, shall be reviewed by a qualified
expert for determination of shielding requirements.
Note: use of the word “shall” indicates a requirement based on current Colorado Department of Public Health and
Environment regulations.

PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.1 PROTECTION
A. Comply with each manufacturer's written instructions for protecting building and other
surfaces against damage from exposure to its products. Prevent chemical solutions
from coming into contact with people, motor vehicles, landscaping, buildings, and other
surfaces that could be harmed by such contact.
1. Cover adjacent surfaces with materials that are proven to resist chemical
solutions being used unless the solutions will not damage adjacent surfaces. Use
protective materials that are UV resistant and waterproof. Apply masking agents
to comply with manufacturer's written instructions. Do not apply liquid masking
agent to painted or porous surfaces. When no longer needed, promptly remove
masking to prevent adhesive staining.
2. Do not apply chemical solutions during winds of sufficient force to spread them to
unprotected surfaces.
3. Neutralize and collect alkaline and acid wastes before disposal.
4. Dispose of runoff from operations by legal means and in a manner that prevents
soil erosion, undermining of paving and foundations, damage to landscaping, and
water penetration into building interiors.
3.2 MAINTENANCE REPAINTING, GENERAL
A. Maintenance Repainting Appearance Standard: Completed work is to have a uniform
appearance as viewed by Architect from building interior at 5 feet away from painted
surface and from building exterior at 20 feet away from painted surface.
B. Execution of the Work: In repainting surfaces, disturb them as minimally as possible
and as follows:
1. Remove failed coatings and corrosion and repaint.
2. Verify that substrate surface conditions are suitable for repainting.
3. Allow other trades to repair items in place before repainting.
C. Mechanical Abrasion: Where mechanical abrasion is needed for the work, use gentle
methods, such as scraping and lightly hand sanding, that will not abrade softer
substrates, reducing clarity of detail.
D. Heat Processes: Do not use torches, heat guns, or heat plates.

A. General: Use the gentlest, appropriate method necessary to clean surfaces in
preparation for painting. Clean all surfaces, corners, contours, and interstices.
B. Detergent Cleaning: Wash surfaces by hand using clean rags, sponges, and bristle
brushes. Scrub surface with detergent solution and bristle brush until soil is thoroughly
dislodged and can be removed by rinsing. Use small brushes to remove soil from joints
and crevices. Dip brush in solution often to ensure that adequate fresh detergent is
used and that surface remains wet. Rinse with water applied by clean rags or sponges.
C. Solvent Cleaning: Use solvent cleaning to remove oil, grease, smoke, tar, and asphalt
from painted or unpainted surfaces before other preparation work. Wipe surfaces with
solvent using clean rags and sponges. If necessary, spot-solvent cleaning may be
employed just prior to commencement of paint application, provided enough time is
allowed for complete evaporation. Use clean solvent and clean rags for the final wash
to ensure that all foreign materials have been removed. Do not use solvents, including
primer thinner and turpentine, that leave residue.
D. Mildew: Clean off existing mildew, algae, moss, plant material, loose paint, grease, dirt,
and other debris by scrubbing with bristle brush or sponge and detergent solution.
Scrub mildewed areas with mildewcide. Rinse with water applied by clean rags or
sponges.

PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.1 PREPARATION
A. Concrete Subfloors: Prepare substrate in accordance with flooring manufacturer’s
instructions.
1. All concrete substrates must be structurally sound and solid, and thoroughly
clean and free of oil, wax, grease asphalt, paint, latex compounds, curing and
sealing compounds, and any contaminant that could act as a bond breaker.
2. The structural concrete must have a minimum tensile strength of 200 psi when
tested in accordance with ASTM C 1583.
3. Epoxy-Based Systems:
4. Mechanical preparation of the surface is required to obtain a minimum ICRI
(International Concrete Repair Institute) concrete surface of stage 3 (CSP #3).
This substrate preparation must be by mechanical means, such as shot blasting
or grinding. Broom sweep and vacuum the prepared surface. Acid etching,
solvents, sweeping compounds, adhesive removers and sanding are not
acceptable means of cleaning the substrate.
5. Water-Based Silicate Sealer Systems:
6. Bead-blast using 330 shot or grind to an ICRI stage 4 (CSP #4). After shot
blasting or grinding is completed, surface should be white in color with no signs
of curing agents, oil, dirt, curing agents, sealers, adhesive residues, or other type
of concrete finished surface. All loose material and dirt must also be removed
from cracks in order to allow proper bonding.
7. Results from a Calcium Chloride Test shall be submitted to Concure Systems
Representative prior to the sealer installation.
8. Prior to beginning the installation, measure the relative humidity within the
concrete in compliance with ASTM F 2170 or, alternatively, the surface relative
humidity can also be measured in accordance with ASTM F 2420. For these
relative humidity methods, the RH shall not exceed 98%.
9. If the concrete substrate is too uneven to provide a uniform thickness of the
primer and sealer (typically CSP #6 or higher), the substrate can be pre-
smoothed using a compatible self-leveling topping. Refer to the appropriate
manufacturing technical brochure for installation instructions and necessary cure
times.
B. Crack and Joint Preparation
1. Non-moving cracks and saw-cut joints:
2. To ensure that a continuous barrier to moisture emissions is created over the
entire surface, use a two-part rigid polyurethane crack and joint filler to fill small,
non-moving cracks and saw-cut joints in existing concrete substrates.
3. Cracks, saw cuts and control joints smaller than 1/4 inch wide must be “V-
grooved” or routed to 1/4 inch or wider and 1/2” inch-plus depth. Thoroughly
clean the joints after preparation.
4. Cracks greater than a hairline in width 1/32” (0.79 mm) and saw-cuts must be
filled in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s installation instructions. Once
the dormant cracks and saw-cuts have been properly filled, allow these areas to
cure thoroughly in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations prior to
proceeding with the moisture sealer installation.
5. Moving joints: All moving joints and cracks must be honored up through the
moisture control system underlayment and floor covering by installing a flexible
sealing compound designed specifically for use over moving joints.

6. Prime all joints using undiluted Crack Fill Binder using narrow brush to scrub
material into joint. Allow the binder to partially dry until it feels tacky. DO NOT
LET IT DRY COMPLETELY. Work slurry into crack leaving material slightly high.
Allow material to slightly set and remove excess and trowel flush with surface
while pushing material into joint to densify joint.
3.2 APPLICATION
A. Examine substrates and conditions under which materials will be installed. Do not
proceed with installation until unsatisfactory conditions are corrected.
B. Coordinate installation with adjacent work to ensure proper sequence of construction.
Protect adjacent areas from contact due to mixing and handling of materials.
C. Mixing: Comply with manufacturer's printed instructions and the following.
1. Each individual unit contains separate, pre-measured quantities of hardener and
resin. After opening each container, stir the individual components thoroughly
before blending and mix full units completely.
2. For mix designs related to the use of underlayments, refer to the standard mixing
instructions for installation over concrete as shown in the manufacturer’s
instructions.
D. Install moisture control system in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations.
E. Install cementitious underlayment in accordance with manufacturer's
recommendations.
3.3 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
A. Where specified, field sampling of the products is to be done by taking an entire
unopened unit or bag of the product being installed to an independent testing facility to
perform the specified testing. There is no in-situ test method applicable for this
system.
B. Manufacturer to provide documentation to Architect of dry mils thickness for the
mitigation membrane and the required CSP (concrete surface profile) number when
system is applied correctly.
3.4 PROTECTION
A. Prior to the installation of the underlayment of finish flooring, the surface of the system
should be protected from abuse by other trades by the use of plywood, Masonite or
other suitable protection course.

specified minimum yield strength, or 1.7 times the "SE" value in Appendix A of ASME B31.9.
Hydrostatic Test: The test shall be accomplished by hand pumping the system to 5.
the specified water pressure, and maintaining that pressure until the entire system has been inspected for leaks, but in no case for a time period of less than four hours.
a. Steam and Condensate Systems: 100 psig or 150 percent of system pressure, whichever is greater.
After the hydrostatic test pressure has been applied for at least 4 hours, examine 6.
piping joints and connections for leakage. Eliminate leaks by tightening, repairing, or replacing components as appropriate, and repeat hydrostatic test until there are no leaks.
3.7 CLEANING:
A. After testing a hydronic system for proper operation of all automatic devices and controls, operate the entire system for one week, then drain and wash out with caustic soda. Immediately rinse system with water. Clean the strainer baskets and refill the
system with system media and leave in proper working order. After the system has been in operation for one month, thoroughly check all automatic control valves for water
or steam leakage and where necessary, clean and repair same.
