Module 4: ALARA Program
Instructor's Notes
4)
Do not eat, drink, smoke, or chew in
Radioactive Materials Areas,
Contamination Areas, High
Contamination Areas, or Airborne
Radioactivity Areas, as dispersible
radioactive materials may be present.
5)
(Insert facility-specific information.)
3.
Lessons Learned
Review lessons learned from your site or other sites to
demonstrate what may be learned from mistakes
leading to excessive personnel exposures.
(Insert facility-specific information.)
D. Radioactive Waste Minimization
One of the potential consequences of working with
radioactive materials is the generation of radioactive waste.
This radioactive waste must be properly disposed.
Examples of radioactive waste include:
Paper
Gloves
Glassware
Rags
Brooms, mops
The ALARA concept also applies to minimizing radioactive
waste. This will reduce personnel exposure associated
with the handling, packaging, storing, and disposing of
radioactive waste. This will also reduce the resultant
costs. It is very important for each radiological worker to
minimize the amount of radioactive waste generated.
