Module 10.1: Practical Factors

Instructor's Notes

When possible, stay in areas that have lower

levels of radiation.

Do not loiter in the Radiation Area or Radiological

Buffer Area.

Use good housekeeping techniques.

Advise Radiological Control personnel of any unusual

alarms.

Suggestion: During demonstration, pre-stage

abnormal situations and discuss appropriate

response.

Abnormal situations or conditions may include off-

scale dosimeter, spill of water, shielding that has

slipped, posting that is different from pre-job brief

information, etc.

Take appropriate actions to radiological alarms. Be

(DOE RCS, Appendix 3D.)

Suggest: Using facility-specific posted instructions and

contamination control techniques, monitor for

contamination. If practical, have students do the

same.

Incorporate lessons learned occurrences, if applicable

(demonstrate or discuss occurrences).
