Module 4: ALARA Program
Instructor's Notes
1)
Take only the tools and materials you
need for the job into areas controlled for
radiological purposes. This is especially
important for contamination areas.
2)
Unpack equipment and tools in a clean
area. This will help to avoid bringing
unnecessary material to the job site. This
material can become radioactive waste if
it is contaminated.
3)
Use tools and equipment that are
identified for radiological work when
possible. (Add facility-specific
information about where such tools are
stored.)
4)
Use only the materials required to clean
the area. An excessive amount of bags,
rags, and solvent adds to radioactive
waste.
5)
Sleeve, or otherwise protect with a
covering such as plastic, clean materials
brought into contaminated areas.
6)
(Insert facility-specific information.)
b.
Separate radioactive waste from nonradioactive
waste.
1)
Place radioactive waste in the containers
identified for radioactive waste. Do not
place radioactive waste in nonradioactive
waste containers.
2)
Do not throw nonradioactive waste, or
radioactive material that may be reused,
into radioactive waste containers.
3)
(Insert facility-specific information.)
c.
Separate compactible material from
noncompactible material.
d.
Minimize the amount of mixed waste generated.
Mixed waste is waste that contains both
radioactive and hazardous materials.
