Part 5 Radiological Monitoring

 

 

 

751         General Requirements

 

The following information shall be documented and maintained:

 

751-01)           Results of monitoring for radiation and radioactive materials as required by Articles 413, 452, and 551-555.

751-02)           Results of surveys, measurements, and calculations used to determine individual occupation exposure from external and internal sources as required by Articles 511-555.

751-03)           Results of surveys for the release of material and equipment as required by Articles 421, 422, and 553.

751-04)           Results of maintenance and calibration performed on instruments and equipment as required by Articles 563, 564, and 565.

751-05)           Results of continuous computer logging of Controlled Area Radiation Monitors (CARMs), and other associated instrumentation used in monitoring radiological conditions.

 

752         Radiation Surveys

 

The Jefferson Lab Radiological Control Program requires the performance of radiation and contamination surveys (as appropriate) to determine existing conditions in a given location.  Maps with sufficient detail to permit identification of original survey and sampling locations shall be maintained.  Records should contain sufficient detail to be meaningful even after the originator is no longer available.  Radiological surveys shall be recorded on appropriate standard forms and should include the following common elements:

 

752-01)           Date, time and purpose of the survey.

752-02)           General and specific location of the survey.

752-03)           Name and signature of the surveyor or analyst.

752-04)           Pertinent information needed to interpret the survey results.

752-05)           Reference to a specific Radiological Work Permit if the survey is performed to support the permit.

752-06)           Instrument model and serial number.

752-07)           Results of the measurements of area dose rates.

 

753         Contamination Surveys

 

In addition to the elements required by Article 752, records of contamination surveys should include, at a minimum, the following information:

 

753-01)           Contamination levels (using appropriate units) and appropriate supporting parameters including counting efficiency, counting time, correction factors, type of radiation and whether the contamination was fixed or removable.

753-02)           Location of areas found to contain high concentrations of localized contamination.

753-03)           Follow-up survey results for decontamination processes cross-referenced to the original survey.

 

754         Airborne Radioactivity

 

In addition to the elements provided in Article 752, records of airborne radioactivity shall include, at a minimum, the following information:

 

754-01)           Model and serial number of the sampler or location of fixed sampler.

754-02)           Air concentrations in general areas.

754-03)           Supporting parameters, including collection efficiency, flow rate, duration of sampling, correction factors and filter medium.
