Module 9: Radioactive Contamination Control
Instructor's Notes
b.
Containment
Permanent and temporary containments are used
for contamination control. Examples include
vessels, pipes, cells, glovebags, gloveboxes, tents,
huts, and plastic coverings.
3.
Personal Protective Measures
Sometimes engineering controls cannot eliminate
contamination. Personnel protective measures, such as
protective clothing and respiratory equipment, will be
used at this point.
a.
Protective clothing
EO5 Identify the proper use
of protective clothing.
1)
Protective clothing is required for entering
areas containing contamination and airborne
radioactivity levels above specified limits to
prevent personnel contamination.
2)
The amount and type of protective clothing
required is dependent on work area
radiological conditions and nature of the job.
3)
Personal effects such as watches, rings,
jewelry, etc., should not be worn.
4)
Full protective clothing generally consists of:
a)
Coveralls.
b)
Cotton liners.
c)
Rubber gloves.
d)
Shoe covers.
e)
Rubber overshoes.
f)
Hood.
NOTE: Cotton glove liners may be worn inside
rubber gloves for comfort, but should not be worn
alone or considered as a layer of protection against
contamination.
