 MIL-HDBK-1008B
Requests for approval must demonstrate that procedures, in accordance with the
component radiological health and safety regulations, are in place to track
and control inventory, to remove and replace devices at the end of their
useful life, to identify, evaluate, and decontaminate leaking or broken
devices, and to properly dispose of the devices once they are removed. Use
radioluminious signs and markers only in cases where the user has clearly
demonstrated the unique requirement for such devices (e.g., electrical power
is not available, long distances of wire and conduit make the installation of
conventional devices impractical, or where explosive environments exist).
