3.
Protection of the environment
Measures to control radioactive contamination are implemented to protect the
environment by:
o
Controlling the release of radioactivity in the environment.
o
Minimizing the amount of radioactive waste generated.
4.
Protection of the facility and programs
Measures to control radioactive contamination are implemented to protect facilities
and programs by:
o
Eliminating or minimizing the spread of contamination.
o
Preventing cross-contamination and the loss of experimental results.
o
Meeting regulatory requirements.
Also, note that resources applied to cleanup reduce the resources available for other
program goals. Additionally, serious contamination events may detract from maintaining
good public relations.
