Facilities should have written procedures to address the following issues associated
with STCs, in addition to the procedural controls required for the remainder of the
radiological control program:
Methods for identifying and quantifying STC levels in the workplace;
Methods for controlling the spread of airborne and surface STC
contamination, including design features and engineering controls;
Methods for controlling and handling materials (e.g., protective clothing,
respirators, tools, etc.) that are exposed to STC contamination;
Methods for tracking those areas of the facility affected by STC
contamination;
Methods for controlling individual exposure to STCs;
Radiological and activity based criteria for which STC controls are required;
Criteria for selecting individuals for participation in the STC-internal dose
monitoring program;
Methods for performing STC monitoring;
Individual STC dose assessment techniques;
Criteria for selecting individuals to participate in enhanced training required
for STC control; and
Requirements for assessing STC-control program effectiveness, identifying
program shortcomings, and implementing programmatic changes as
necessary to ensure continuing improvement.
Written procedures form only one component of an adequate administrative
system. Active management involvement is required to determine the proper
balance between the components of the administrative system. For example,
details regarding techniques used to perform repetitive actions may be more
appropriately addressed through radiation safety training. Certain job-specific
actions may be more appropriately addressed in radiological work permits rather
than written procedures.
Technical Work Documents
While generally applicable written procedures are frequently used to establish
standardized methods where consistency of techniques or results (e.g., regulatory
compliance) is important, technical work documents (TWDs) are often used to
address measures associated with specific tasks. Included within the scope of
technical work documents are certain specific procedures, work packages, and
research plans.
