PART 5 Radiological Monitoring

751 Area Monitoring Records

Radiological control programs require the performance of radiation, airborne radioactivity, and contamin ation

monitoring to determine existing conditions in a given location. Maps with sufficient detail to permit identification

of original survey and sampling locations should be maintained. Radiological monitoring results should be recorded

on appropriate standard forms and include the following common elements:

Date, time, and purpose of the survey

General and specific location of the survey

Name and signature of the surveyor and analyst

Pertinent information needed to interpret the survey res ults

Reference to a specific radiological work permit if the survey is performed to support the permit.

Records shall be maintained to document:

Results of monitoring and surveys for radiation and radioactive materials [see 835.703(a)]

Result s of monitoring and calculations used to determine individual occupational doses [see 835.703(b)]

Results of surveys for release of materials from radiological areas [see 835.703(c)]

Results of sealed radioactive source leak tests and inventories [see 835.704(f)]

Results of surveys of radioactive material packages received from transportation [see 835.405 and 701(a)]

Changes in monitoring equipment, techniques, and procedures [see 835.704(e)].

752 Radiation Monitoring

In addition to the elements provided in Article 751, records of radiation monitoring should include at a minimum, the

following information:

Instrument model and serial number

Results of the measurements of area dose rates

Locations of hot spots and other radiological hazards

Facility conditions existing during the survey that may have affected radiological conditions.
