as part of the utilization program. Unsuspected radioactivity in the restricted area
could inadvertently be transported or "tracked' to the unrestricted area, and
thereby constitute an uncontrolled release of radioactive material. Finally,
removable or fixed surface contamination in the restricted area of sufficient source
strength could measurably impact the radiological health and safety of people
worldng there. The reviewer should evaluate how the applicant's program for
contamination control meets all applicable requirements of the regulations and the
facility ALARA program. The specific areas of review should include all of the
items listed in the format and content guide: For existing'programs, information
about the effectiveness of the program should also be reviewed.
Acceptance Oieria
Acceptance criteria for the information on contamination control include the'
following:
* The scope of the program should demonstrate that the applicant
understands the potential problems caused by radioactive contamination
and recognizes that the best way to control it is to establish procedures to
prevent it initially.
* The bases of procedures should show that routine monitoring of locations,
equipment, and personnel for contamination will be established and
maintained.
* The bases of procedures should show that no materialsW equipment, or
personnel Will be permitted to leave an area known to be or suspected of
being contaminated without being appropriately monitored.
* The contamination control program should include provisions to avoid,
prevent, and remedy the occurrence and the spread of contamination.
* Explicit contamination control training should be established as part of
comprehensive radiation protection and radioactive waste management
training, as needed.
* The contamination control program should include provisions for
recordkeeping in accordance with IO CFR Part 20 regarding occurrence
and spread of contamination, sufficient in content and retention to support
cleanup of contamiaion, maintenance, and planning for eventual
decommissioning of the facility.
