Module 104 Internal Dose Control
Lesson Plan
Instructor's Notes
The internal exposure resulting from uranium
entering the body can be properly controlled by
appropriate facility and equipment design,
contamination control procedures, and protective
clothing. A bioassay monitoring program to
determine the amount of uranium taken into the
body is also an integral part of internal exposure
control.

1. Contamination Control Philosophy
The control of contamination in the work place
is a significant part of the overall radiological
protection program at uranium facilities. Proper
contamination control will:
limit internal exposure by minimizing the
ingestion, inhalation, absorption, and
injection of uranium;
limit external dose from uranium and its
radioactive decay products; and
prevent the spread of radioactive materials
into uncontrolled areas.

2. Contamination Control Methods
Because uranium is relatively less hazardous
than some other radioactive materials, such as
plutonium, some people can develop an overly
relaxed attitude to uranium; in effect saying,
"It's only uranium."
