Guide of Good Practices for Occupational Radiological Protection in Uranium Facilities
5.
airborne radioactivity monitoring records, and
6.
area monitoring instrumentation records.
c.
Records of monitoring methods
1.
radiation protection policies and procedures,
2.
evaluation of exposure data,
3.
functional capabilities of dosimeters and instruments,
4.
calibration and maintenance records,
5.
audits and programmatic reviews,
6.
changes in procedures, techniques, and equipment, and
7.
individual radiation safety training.
Most of the required radiological records have established retention periods. The retention
periods are discussed in DOE Guide 1324.5B, Records Management (DOE 1996b). Individual records
may be covered by the Privacy Act; the DOE has codified the Privacy Act in 10 CFR 1008, Records
Maintained on Individuals (Privacy Act) (DOE 1994b).
3.2.10 Radiation Safety Training
A thorough radiation safety training program should be established at uranium facilities. Training
programs should ensure that personnel have the training to work safely in and around radiological areas and
to maintain their individual radiation exposure and the radiation exposures of others ALARA. Separate
training programs should be established for general employees and radiological workers. DOE's core
training materials should form the basis for the train ing programs, and should be augmented with site-
specific information. The training of all staff members should be carefully documented. DOE G 441.1-1A,
DOE G 441.1-12, Radiation Safety Training Guide (DOE 1999l) and the RCS provide guidance on
information to be presented during the training programs.
DOE requires biennial radiation safety training for general employees and radiological workers. In
the alternate year when retraining is not performed, refresher training should be provided. Individuals who
work with uranium should have special uranium facilities training in addition to or as part of the
appropriate level of Radiological Worker Training.
3.2.10.1
Radiological Worker Training
Before working in uranium operations, all radiological workers should be trained and qualified.
A thorough radiation protection training program should be established at uranium facilities. Before
beginning uranium training, each uranium worker should receive General Employee Radiological
Training (DOE 1998e) or either Rad Worker I or Rad Worker II Training (DOE 1998d). In addition,
DOE-HDBK-1113-98 Radiological Safety Training for Uranium Facilities (DOE 1998c) provides
guidance on providing radiation safety training to workers at uranium facilities.
