Guide of Good Practices for Occupational Radiation Protection in Uranium Facilities

6.5.4 Geometry

The beta radiation field from uranium is strictly a surface phenomenon. Dose reduction programs

can take advantage of this fact in some circumstances. For example, large plates or sheets of uranium

metal, if stored in racks 'ledge on," will present less of a beta (and gamma) radiation field.

6.6 RECORDKEEPING

10 CFR 835 establishes specific requirements for maintenance of records associated with area and

individual monitoring. DOE G 441.1-11, Occupational Radiation Protection Record-keeping and

Reporting Guide, and the RCS provide guidance for achieving compliance with these requirements.

There are no occupational radiation protection recordkeeping requirements that are unique to uranium

facilities.
