IV. Chapter 2, Radiological Standards

This chapter deals with administrative control dose

limits, contamination control and control levels, and

posting.

A. Administrative Control Levels (ACLs) and Dose

Limits

Lifetime control levels and dose limits for

Radiological Workers, members of the public,

embryos/fetuses, and special control levels are

discussed in this section.

For most facilities an ACL of 500 millirem or less

will be challenging for Radiological Workers.

Individual occupational doses, in rem, should be

kept below the individual's age in years.

B. Contamination Control and Control Levels

In this section, personnel contamination control,

removable and fixed contamination control

levels, and airborne radioactivity control levels

are given.

Posting requirements are presented in this

section and include several non-regulatory areas

including: Radiological Buffer Areas,

Underground Radioactive Material Areas, and

Soil Contamination Areas.
