Introduction

10 CFR Part 835, Occupational Radiation

Protection, includes provisions for exposure to

ionizing radiation from DOE activities. Included in

the 10 CFR 835 definition of a radiological worker is

"operation of radiation producing devices". 10 CFR

835 also specifies requirements for sealed

radioactive sources.

DOE Guidance

DOE G441.1-5, Radiation-Generating Devices

Guide, provides guidance on DOE's expectations

for controlling exposure from radiation generating

devices (RGD). The IG includes a definition of a

RGD as "a collective term for devices which

produce ionizing radiation including, certain sealed

radioactive sources, small particle accelerators

used for single purpose applications which produce

ionizing radiation (e.g., radiography), and electron

generating devices that produce x-rays incidentally."

For sealed radioactive sources, refer to DOE

G441.1-13, Sealed Radioactive Source

Accountability and Control Guide.

Article 365 of DOE-STD-1098-99, Radiological

Control, provides additional guidance, including the

use of ANSI N43.3, ANSI N43.2, and 10 CFR Part

34 for meeting its requirements covering RGDs.

DOE HDBK-1109-97, Radiological Safety Training

for Radiation-Producing (X-Ray) Devices, provides

guidance on DOE's expectations for radiation safety

training for individuals using RGDs.
