6-32

At present, only personnel dosimeters for whole body irradiations are tested, but a

DOE working group has been formed to develop an extremity dosimetry

performance testing standard. The DOE also conducts an intercomparison of

calibration sources used for radiation protection purposes, but in the near future

DOE secondary calibration laboratories will be established to increase the

consistency of radiation protection instrument calibrations to national standards."

to "Pacific Northwest National Laboratory of Richland, Washington, and the

Radiological and Environmental Sciences Laboratory (RESL) of Idaho Falls, Idaho.

Dosimeters are submitted for testing to the performance testing laboratories in

specified categories. If the dosimeter passes certain accuracy and tolerance testing

criteria, a team of dosimetry experts visit the processor and/or site and assess the

operation of the dosimetry program, including dosimetry records and data retrieval

systems, before the dosimeter processor or DOE site is accredited. DOE

requirements are given in the U. S. Department of Energy Standard Laboratory

Accreditation Program for Personnel Dosimetry Systems, DOE STD-1095-95 (DOE

1995h). At present, both whole body personnel dosimeters and extremity

dosimeters are being tested, with extremity dosimeter testing currently being

voluntary. DOE will formalize the extremity dosimetry accreditation program in the

near future."

6-34

Change Table 6.0 to "Reserved".

6-35

Change "DOE Order 420.1 (DOE, 1996). The requirements in 10 CFR 835.1304

require that fixed nuclear accident dosimeter (NADs) and personnel nuclear

accident dosimeters (PNADs) shall be worn by all personnel entering a controlled

area that contains locations requiring an installed criticality alarm system, such as

those required in DOE Order 420.1 (DOE, 2003a); which requires installed criticality

alarms. The criticality accident dosimetry system should follow the provisions of

ANSI/ANS 13.3-1981"

to "DOE Order 420.1A (DOE, 2002a). The requirements in 10 CFR 835.1304

require that fixed nuclear accident dosimeters (NADs) and personnel nuclear

accident dosimeter (PNADs) shall be worn by all individuals entering a controlled

area that contain quantities of fissile materials, such as those required in DOE Order

420.1A (DOE, 2003a); which requires installed criticality alarms. The criticality

accident dosimetry system should follow the provisions of ANSI/ANS 13.3-1988".

Change "initial screening of personnel" to "initial screening of individuals".

7-16

Change "personnel who enter locations in which installed criticality alarm systems

are required" to "individuals who enter locations which specified quantities of fissile

material".

7-19

Change "personnel who enter a controlled area with locations requiring an installed

criticality alarm system" to "individuals who enter a controlled area with specified

quantities of fissile material".
