J. Bioassay program for tritium workers
An adequate bioassay program for tritium
workers would test for chronic and acute
exposure.
1. Chronic exposure - Periodic urinanalysis for
tritium (daily to biweekly identified in Tritium
Good Practices Manual)
2. Acute exposure
Wait one to two hours.
Void bladder.
Collect sample as soon as possible
thereafter.
Continue to collect daily to determine
individual half-life.
Dose from exposure to STCs may need to be
assessed based on air monitoring results, see
RCTP 99-02.
DOE-STD-1121-99, Internal Dosimetry, 1999,
provides guidance on internal dosimetry
programs including monitoring and assessing
dose from tritium.
K. Tritium effluent recovery systems
1. Purpose - Reduce tritium available for
.
release
2. Method - Tritium gas converted to HTO and
ultimately a stable waste form
