Elements of a Radiological Control Program (cont.)

Emergency plans and procedures

Guidance on the periodic conduct of emergency drills

Basic requirements for the availability and accessibility of emergency

equipment and supplies

Lifesaving procedures

Radiation and contamination control work practices

Adherence to procedures, Radiological Work Permits, status boards,

and special job plans

Designating low-dose waiting areas

Location of drinking water fountains

Eating, smoking, and drinking in controlled areas

Assigning health protection inspectors for radiological job coverage

Personnel decontamination methods

Miscellaneous work performance methods, preparation of work areas,

cutting of systems and components, and venting and draining methods

Radiological maintenance exposure reduction methods

Practices to avoid skin contamination (other than protective clothing)

Log for shift and daily activities

Planning, preparing, and scheduling work

Developing exposure estimates based on previous history on time and

dose rate estimates

Using accurate exposure estimates

Controlling the number of personnel used to perform work

Determining the stay time of workers

Providing adequate equipment, tools, and procedures at the task site

Establishing a collective exposure level

Establishing facility-specific radiological exposure goals for each job

estimated to exceed a preestablished exposure action level, maximum

individual radiological exposure, and person-rem received in repetitive

jobs that result in a significant accumulation of exposure

Conducting pre- and post- job briefings

Using mock-up equipment and performing dry runs

Establishing a plan to document pertinent information for an ultimate

decontamination and decommissioning activity
