Shielding requirements — Maine
X-ray shieldingrequirements in Maine.
Plain-language guidance for imaging facilities in Maine — what to file, who regulates it, and where a shielding design fits in the process.
The short answer
A new Maine X-ray facility submits the initial fee form and the radiation-machine form. Most new rooms need a shielding design accepted by the Radiation Control Program before the machine registration can be processed.

The usual order of operations
Shielding design before construction
A qualified physicist calculates every barrier — walls, floor, ceiling, doors, and windows — for your exact equipment, layout, workload, and adjacent occupancy.
Register with the state
Radiation machines are registered with the state radiation-control program, usually before or as operations begin.
Build and install per the design
Your contractor builds to the material specifications in the shielding report — no guesswork at the job site.
Plan review and final checks
Where the state or local authority requires it, the report goes in for plan review; a post-installation survey closes the loop where required.
