The only requirements will be as per ASME V Article 2 (other than those stated above).
Due to the close proximity of tubes and lack of access to these tubes the SFD/FFD can sometimes be less than normal and in some cases this can lead to issues with Ug ( geometric unsharpness).
Your RT contractor should be well aware of the code requirements.

As metengr has stated the only requirement is a radiation safety plan (or whatever it is called wherever your location).
Codes do not deal in health and safety - they give minimum / maximum requirements but how you achieve those is up to you.
Yes, it can be dangerous performing RT inside boilers ( I hate to think how many I have crawled around in) but if all the safety requirements are complied with then it should be quite safe,

When you really have to carryout RT of your job. You will have to get access from both sides. Inside and Outside for Film setting and for Source Setting.
