RADIOLOGICAL PROTECTION (RP)

OBJECTIVE

RP.1 Radiological protection programs are established, sufficient numbers of qualified personnel are

provided, and adequate facilities and equipment are available to ensure operational support services are

adequate for safe operations. (CORE REQUIREMENT 1)

Criteria

The radiological protection organization is established and functioning to support the operations

organization. Functions, assignments, responsibilities, and reporting relationships are clearly

defined, understood, and effectively implemented. It is adequately staffed with qualified

personnel. (10 CFR 835, Conduct of Operations Matrix, S/RID FA 11)

The radiological protection program meets or exceeds the requirements of 10 CFR 835. (10 CFR

835, S/RID FA 11)

Approach

Record Review: Review the documentation (e.g., administrative procedures, organizational

charts, position descriptions, or internal memorandums) which establish the roles, responsibilities,

interfaces, and staffing levels for the radiological protection support organization. Review the

necessary records and program procedures to ensure that the radiological protection program

includes the items identified above. Review records of radiation protection evaluations of off-

normal occurrences with identified necessary corrective actions. Review implementation of rule

10 CFR 835, S/RID FA 11.

Interviews: Interview those radiation protection personnel who support operations to determine if

they are familiar with their roles, responsibilities, and interfaces with the operations organization.

Shift Performance: While observing operations and maintenance evolutions and drill response,

determine if the radiation protection personnel who support XXX operations are providing

adequate support to the operations organization, and that they are giving adequate attention to

health, safety and environmental protection issues.
