Good Housekeeping
EO5 IDENTIFY methods used to control radioactive contamination.
"Good housekeeping" is the prime factor in an effective contamination control program
and involves the interactions of all groups within the facility. Each individual must be
dedicated to keeping "his/her house clean" to help control the spread of contamination.
G.
RadCon Required Actions and Good Practices
1.
BELIEVE! labels and posted areas.
2.
Avoid Contamination and Airborne Radioactivity Areas. These areas should be
isolated from routine operations.
3.
Treat Contamination Areas as if everything was contaminated.
4.
Minimize the number of items carried or placed into potentially contaminated areas.
5.
Use proper and functional radiation detection instrumentation.
6.
Do not eat, drink, apply makeup, etc.
7.
Always wash hands upon completion of work.
H.
Special Precautions for Liquids
Radioactive solutions are a potential source of radioactive contamination if they are
spilled or allowed to evaporate. A particular concern of a spill is that it may be a source
of airborne radioactivity. In addition, when radioactive material is in a solution, it can be
carried to places not normally accessible, e.g., under equipment.
