  1. Program Manager’s Review Name of Program: Radiation Protection Field Operations Group Program Manager: Jim Allan Date: 19 September 2005

  2. RP Field Operations Group • Qualified as DOE Radiological Control Technicians. Written and Practical Examinations. 2 year qualification cycle. • Electronics background, Instrument Calibration. • 6 Health Physics Technicians (HPT III) • 1 Principal Science and Engineering Technician

  3. RP Field Operations Program Purpose • Implement, assist, and ensure compliance with radiological safety regulations, and ALARA principal practices in the field Practically, Simply and Consistently.

  4. Radiological Surveys (40-50/2 weeks) Posting and Labeling Survey Materials ( 50-100/Month) Radiological Work Coverage (10 jobs/M) Ship & Rec Radioactive Materials(10 /M) Instrumentation (>300) Surveillance of work and personnel Program Description

  5. More Description • Radioactive source management. (372) • Passive area monitoring placement (300) • Emergency Response • Radiological Training, RWT I, RWT II classroom, examinations, SME. • HEPA Ventilation / Vacuum certifications, with LLNL (20) • Material Studies using Sources, RCF

  6. 10CFR835 10CFR71, 49CFR, ICAO Others DOE-STD-1027 Safety Analysis Documents DOE 10CFR835 Implementation Guides Surveys, posting, training, sources… Transport of RAM Hazard Categorization, Radiological Vs Nuclear Requirements

  7. Self Assessment Methodology • Completion of surveys-Checklists, review of all documented radiological surveys. • Passive Monitoring results-RCA posting • Amount of Phone calls to 4299 • Continuous Surveillance in the Field

  8. Self Assessment Results • Required Radiological surveys completed • No Occupied, unposted RCA’s • 10-20 Phone calls per day • Few unidentified Rad Materials • No Personnel Contaminations • Entry Requirements adhered to

  9. Risks / Avoiding • Personnel Exceeding Radiation Exposure limits • Radiation Physics relationship re shielding and dose control plans. • Continuous Radiological surveys for changing conditions. • Meaningful Radiological Posting e+ vault, BSY, Klystrons & Test Lab, RCF 25 R/h 25R/h, 50R/h 11000 R/h

  10. Risks / Avoiding • Radioactive Material to General Public • Admin rules/ Survey all material from Accelerator housing • Good working relationship with others • Salvage surveys • Training

  11. Risks / Avoiding • Personnel Contamination • Experienced Health Physics Personnel • Training, Briefings, Work Planning • PPE • Ventilation • HEPA Vacuums • Containments • Surveys
