3.
Minimize cross-contamination (such as putting a glove on a contaminated hand until
decontamination can be attempted).
F.
Release of Materials
1.
Release to Controlled Areas.
Release from potentially contaminated areas to Controlled Areas is covered by 10
CFR 835. Equipment and materials released from a potentially contaminated area
must be surveyed and released under a formal program. If surveys indicate the
presence of removable contamination at levels greater than 10 CFR 835 Appendix D,
the materials may be moved to another posted area. Appropriate controls must be
established. Appropriate controls should include:
o
Surveys of materials before movement.
o
Containment of materials during transit.
o
Establishment of approved transit routes.
o
Survey of transit route after movement (if materials exhibited removable
contamination).
Reference: 10 CFR 835.1101(b)
If surveys indicate presence of fixed contamination only (removable contamination
less than 10 CFR 835 Appendix D values), the items may be released to the
controlled area if:
o
Routine surveys are performed to ensure contamination remains fixed to
surface.
o
The item must be clearly labeled or tagged to warn others of the contamination.
o
Written procedures must be established to control such items.
