Background

B. Module Overview

This module discusses information regarding entry, work in,

and control of High Radiation Areas and the materials and

systems that can emit high radiation levels.

C. Objectives Review

Introduce objectives.

D. Introduction

The High Radiation Area lesson plan familiarizes the

participant with requirements for entry, work in, and

exit from High Radiation Areas.

Radiological Worker Modules 1-7 (core academic

material) are a prerequisite for this module. If

prerequisite requirements are met, this module may be

taught alone.

MODULE OUTLINE

A. High and Very High Radiation Area Definitions

High Radiation Area

A High Radiation Area is any area, accessible to

EO1 Define High Radiation

individuals, in which radiation levels could result in an

Area and Very High

individual receiving a deep dose equivalent in excess of

Radiation Area.

0.1 rem (100 mrem), but less than or equal to 500 rad

in one hour at 30 centimeters from the radiation source

30 cm is approximately = to

or from any surface that the radiation penetrates.

1 foot (11.81 inches)

Very High Radiation Area

A Very High Radiation Area is any area, accessible to

1m is slightly more than 1

individuals, in which radiation levels could result in an

yard (39.37 inches)

individual receiving an absorbed dose in excess of 500

rads in one hour at 1 meter from a radiation source or

from any surface that the radiation penetrates.
