Guide of Good Practices for Occupational Radiation Protection in Uranium Facilities

real-time air monitoring: Collection and real-time analysis of the workplace atmosphere using

continuous air monitors (CAMs).

refresher training: The training scheduled on the alternate year when full retraining is not completed for

Radiological Worker I and Radiological Worker II personnel. (RCS)

removable contamination: Radioactive material that can be removed from surfaces by nondestructive

means, such as casual contact, wiping, brushing, or washing. (RCS)

representative air sampling: The sampling of airborne radioactive material in a manner such that the

sample collected closely approximates both the amount of activity and the physical and chemical

properties (e.g., particle size and solubility) of the aerosol to which the workers may be exposed.

source -specific air sampling: Collection of an air sample near an actual or likely rele ase point in a

work area using fixed-location samplers or portable air samplers.

survey: An evaluation of the radiological conditions and potential hazards incident to the production,

use, transfer, release, disposal, or presence of radioactive material or other sources of radiation. When

appropriate, such an evaluation includes a physical survey of the location of radioactive material and

measurements or calculations of levels of radiation, or concentrations or quantities of radioactive

material present. (RCS)

very high radiation area: Any area, accessible to individuals, in which radiation levels could result in an

individual receiving an absorbed dose in excess of 500 rad (5 gray) in 1 hour at 1 meter from a radiation

source or from any surface that the radiation penetrates. (10 CFR 835)

workplace monitoring: The measurement of radioactive material and/or direct radiation levels in areas

that could be routinely occupied by workers.
