507.

RADIOLOGICAL AREA. Any area within a controlled area defined in 10 CFR 835 as a

"radiation area," "high radiation area," "very high radiation area," "contamination area," "high

contamination area," or "airborne radioactivity area." [10 CFR 835.2] [DOE G 433.1-1]

508.

RADIOLOGICAL WORKER. A general employee whose job assignment involves operation

of radiation producing devices or working with radioactive materials, or who is likely to be

routinely occupationally exposed above 0.1 rem (0.001 sievert) per year total effective dose

equivalent. [10 CFR 835.2]

509.

RANDOM TESTING. The unscheduled, unannounced urine drug testing of randomly selected

individuals in testing designated positions, by a process designed to ensure that selections are

made in a non-discriminatory manner. [10 CFR 707.4]

510.

REACTOR. Any apparatus that is designed or used to sustain nuclear chain reactions in a

controlled manner such as research, test, and power reactors, and critical and pulsed assemblies

and any assembly that is designed to perform subcritical experiments that could potentially reach

criticality; and unless modified by words such as containment, vessel, or core, refers to the

entire facility, including the housing, equipment and associated areas devoted to the operation

and maintenance of one or more reactor cores. [10 CFR 830.3]

511.

REACTOR OPERATOR. A person certified by contractor nuclear facility management to

operate (manipulate the controls of) a DOE-owned reactor. [DOE O 5480.20A]

[EH62dd1]

513.

REAL PROPERTY. Land (including improvements on the land); facilities (including buildings

and other structural facilities), and personal property that is an integral part of real property

(related personal property) or is related to, designed for, or specifically adapted to the

functional or productive capacity of the real property, the removal of which would significantly

diminish the economic value of the real property or the related personal property itself.

Examples of related personal property are communication systems and telephone systems. Real

property may also include triple-wide trailers or modular units joined together so that the

structure is not portable and cannot be relocated without being dismantled and thus losing its

identity. Normally, common-use items, including but not limited to general-purpose furniture,

utensils, office machines, office supplies, and general-purpose vehicles, are not considered

related personal property. [Deferred Maint. memo.]
