V. Chapter 3, Conduct of Radiological Work

The planning of radiological work, work preparation

(e.g., Radiological Work Permits), and the

requirements for the entry to and exit from the

various types of controlled areas are contained in

this chapter. Also covered are: radiological work

performance, the aspects of radiological work in

different operations with radiation-generating

equipment, and construction and restoration

projects.

A. Planning Radiological Work

This section emphasizes that the conduct of

radiological work is a line responsibility. Worker

responsibility, along with systematic planning,

provides the necessary information for safe

radiological work. Of fundamental importance is

the requirement to plan work with an emphasis

on ALARA principles.

B. Work Preparation

In this section, the Radiological Work Permit

(RWP) is discussed. This chapter states that the

RWP is the key to any particular radiological

operation, and preplanning is essential.

C. Entry and Exit Requirements

The minimum requirements for entry into and

exit from defined radiological areas and other

non-regulatory areas are discussed in this

section.
