DOE Radiological Control Standard

The DOE Radiological Control Standard is written

for line management. It is designed to assist line

managers in fulfilling their duties and responsibilities

for implementing an occupational radiation

protection program.

It is also designed to assist site/facility workers in

having the information they need to be responsible

for their own radiological exposures and to help

ensure that the controls are in place to eliminate

any releases, unplanned exposures or uptake, and

to apply ALARA principles. The emphasis is on

teamwork and support from line management.

The Radiological Control Standard may be

considered as an occupational radiation protection

good practices document. Individual sites may

have contractual commitments to implement

sections of the standard.
