DOE-STD-1136-2004

Guide of Good Practices for Occupational Radiological Protection in Uranium Facilities

The level of radiation worker training should be determined in accordance with the Table 3-1 of

the RCS. All training should be consistent with the guidance provided in DOE G 441.1-12. All training

dispositions and records should be documented in accordance with 10 CFR 835.704.

3.2.10.2

Training for Other Facility Personnel

Non-radiological workers in a uranium facility should be given a general orientation on the

radia tion safety concerns for working with uranium, the general protective measures used for work with

uranium, and the engineered safety features of the facility.

3.2.10.3

Members of the Public

Members of the public with a demonstrated need to enter the following areas may be allowed

access if such access is controlled with a combination of training and the use of escorts trained for the

specific area:

Radiological Buffer Areas,

Radiation and High Radiation Areas,

Contamination Areas, and

Radioactive Material Areas.

Guidance for training of members of the public is provided in DOE G 441.1-12 and the RCS.

Individuals under 18 years of age should not be permitted to enter radiation areas or contamination areas

without the approval of the radiological control manager. Area entry requirements and access restrictions

for members of the public should be established in facility procedures. Members of the public should be

prevented from entering very high radiation, high contamination, and airborne radioactivity areas.

All facility personnel serving as a qualified escort should ensure that each visitor under his/her

cognizance completes a facility radiological visitor form. The qualified escort should also sign the visitor

form and complete it as appropriate.

Facility-sponsored visitors should provide the following before entering radiological areas,

unless these records have already been entered into the facility entry control system:

evidence of completing required training, as applicable

visitor radiation exposure disclosure

a medical disclosure form or the results of a medical evaluation.

The host facility manager should forward the visitor radiation exposure and medical disclosure forms to

Dosimetry.

The use of offsite mask fit certification is authorized under the following conditions:
