7.6.1

Administrative Limits

This section summarizes facility administrative control levels and dose limits,

including process for planned special exposures.

7.6.2

Radiological Practices

This section summarizes exposure controls directly associated with

radiological activities. Include in this summary generic precautions for

conduct of radiological tasks, special personnel protective equipment, and

permanent shielding used to control exposures.

This section specifically summarizes plans and procedures for posting,

labeling, or signifying boundaries for facility areas containing radioactive

material and material containers and entry and exit control for personnel in

radiological areas in the facility. Include in the summary use of radiation work

permits and provisions for controlling access and stay times, and definition and

posting requirements for the following radiological areas: radiation area, high

radiation area, very high radiation area, airborne radioactivity area, high

contamination area, and radiological buffer areas.

7.6.3

Dosimetry

This section summarizes the basis of the dosimetry program for external and

internal radiation monitoring of workers. Include in the summary basis for use

of various types of dosimeters including accident dosimetry and bioassay

requirements (i.e., bases for selecting personnel, frequency of routine in vivo

and in vitro and any nonroutine bioassay conducted). Briefly discuss the

program in terms of issuance, control, and monitoring of dosimeters and

documentation of dosimetry results including combining internal and external

dosimetry results.

7.6.4

Respiratory Protection

This section summarizes plans and procedures for respiratory protection for

workers. Include in this summary types of respiratory protection equipment

and their usage in normal, abnormal, and accident conditions; control and

issuance of respirators (training; fitness and medical testing); inspection of

equipment (cleaning, maintenance, and repair); and documentation of

associated records.

7.7

RADIOLOGICAL MONITORING

This section summarizes the radioactive material sampling and monitoring

program conducted internal and external to the facility. This summary should

address overall facility monitoring to prevent the spread of radioactive

contamination, operational monitoring of workers, and monitoring and sampling

for detection of material release by airborne and other pathways (e.g., water, soil),

programs for continuing collection of relevant meteorological data, and records,

and reports ge nerated in the monitoring program.
