Radiological Control Revision 6
1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this procedure is to define the methods used for controlling
radioactive material and radiological contamination.
1.2 Scope
This procedure applies to all personnel normally entering and exiting the
Restricted Area. This procedure does not apply in emergency situations where
other concerns supersede the need for immediate monitoring of radiological
conditions.

3 GENERAL
3.1 Definitions
3.1.1 Radioactive Material (RAM) — Any material or combination of materials
that spontaneously emits ionizing radiation.
3.1.2 Survey — An evaluation of the radiological conditions and potential
hazards associated with the object being evaluated. When appropriate,
such an evaluation includes a physical survey of the location of
radioactive material and measurements or calculations of levels of
radiation, or concentrations or quantities of radioactive material present.
3.1.3 Contact Dose Rate — A measurement of the radiation exposure per unit
time at a distance of no greater than 1 cm from the object being measured.
3.1.4 Restricted Area (RA) — The area within the controlled area that requires
control of access and occupancy for radiation protection purposes. The
RA boundary is posted "Caution, Radioactive Material" and is bordered
by a 6-foot high fence except in buildings where a lockable door or other
device to prevent unauthorized or inadvertent entry is present. A security
badge and dosimetry is required for entrance into the RA.

CL-RS-PR-130
Radiological Control Revision 6
3.1.5 Radiological Contamination — The presence of RAM in contact with an
object that does not benefit from the presence of the RAM.
3.1.6 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) — Garments or accessories used by
an individual to reduce exposure to hazardous materials.
3.2 Responsibilities
3.2.1 The Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) is responsible for overall radiation
safety, contamination control, and compliance with state and federal
regulations and for daily oversight of the radiation protection program in
accordance with the Clive Radiation Protection Program.
3.2.2 Radiation Safety Technicians (RSTs) are responsible for ensuring that all
activities at the site are carried out in accordance with all applicable
procedures.
3.3 Precautions and Limitations
None.
4 REQUIREMENTS AND GUIDANCE
4.1 General Requirements
4.1.1 Personnel performing any RAM handling operations, including incoming
acceptance inspections and surveys shall perform work in accordance with
CL-RS-PR-140, Radiation Work Permits (RWP).
4.1.2 At a minimum, a Radiation Safety Technician shall be on site when
personnel are working within the RA.
4.1.3 All personnel and items that enter the Energysolutions' RA shall comply
with CL-RS-PR-120, Access Control Points.
4.1.4 Regardless of quantity, all contact with RAM and radiological
contamination shall be minimized. Appropriate PPE shall be used
whenever personnel handle RAM or radiologically contaminated objects.
4.1.5 All personnel issued a dosimeter shall use it in accordance with the CL-
RS-PR-210, Personnel External Radiation Monitoring procedure, to
monitor exposure to RAM. This requirement applies both inside and
outside the RA.
4.1.6 All Radiological Controls are implemented in order to keep exposures as
low as reasonably achievable (ALARA).
4.2 Identification of Radioactive Material
4.2.1 RAM such as Hepa Vacuums, Hepa Units, "Mud Boxes", Bag Houses,
and Frac Tanks should be identified by a label that displays at least the
following information:
• The standard trefoil radiation symbol
Non-Proprietary Page 4 of 9
CL-RS-PR-130
Radiological Control Revision 6
• The words, "Caution, Radioactive Material"
• The contact dose rate
• The date that the contact dose rate was measured
• The initials of the RST who obtained the contact dose rate
Note: An example of an acceptable RAM label is included in
this procedure in the Examples of Labels, Attachment
5.1.
4.2.2 Radioactive Check Sources and Nuclear Gauges shall be identified by a
label that displays at least the following information:
• The standard trefoil radiation symbol
• The radionuclide(s)
• The activity of the Source Material
• A reference date for the recorded activity
4.2.3 Waste packages shall be identified by the labels required by CL-SR-PR-
041, Incoming Radioactive Waste Shipment Acceptance
4.2.4 Outgoing RAM shipments shall be identified by the labels required by the
CL-SR-PR-060, Shipment of Radioactive Material.
4.3 Control of RAM
4.3.1 Check Sources and Nuclear Gauges shall be stored in a secure location
and an inventory shall be taken on all sources every 6 months. Sources
shall be tested for leaks in accordance with CL-RS-PR-160, Radioactive
Source Inventory and Leak Test.
4.3.2 All RAM arriving at EnergySolutions shall receive a survey by a RST
either at acceptance or during unloading.
4.3.2.1 All waste packages 4 mrem/hr or greater at 30cm placed in
temporary storage shall have the highest 30 cm dose rate
recorded by the RST on the required label.
Note: Shipments that arrive by rail are
excluded from the requirement of 4.3.2.1
4.3.2.2 When the 30 cm dose rate exceeds 4 mrem/hr, the RAM
shall be posted as a Radiation Area in accordance with the
CL-RS-PR-150, Posting Requirements for Radiological
Hazards, or an RST shall be present to ensure exposure is
minimized.
4.3.2.3 When the 30 cm dose rate exceeds 80 mrem/hr, the RAM
shall be posted as a High Radiation Area in accordance the
CL-RS-PR-150, Posting Requirements for Radiological
Non-Proprietary Page 5 of 9
CL-RS-PR-130
Radiological Control Revision 6
Hazards. In addition, the RAM shall be stored in a locked
location that prevents inadvertent exposure to >80
mrem/hr. Whenever the RAM is not in locked storage, an
RST II shall accompany the RAM to ensure exposure is
minimized.
4.3.3 All RAM shall be stored inside the RA. When it is necessary for RAM to
be brought outside the RA, it shall be done so under the cognizance of an
RST and approved procedures.
4.4 Control of Radiological Contamination
4.4.1 Personnel inside the contaminated portion of the RA shall minimize the
spread of contamination.
4.4.2 Personnel shall practice good housekeeping.
4.4.3 When a Personnel Contamination event is suspected, personnel shall
contact a RST for survey in order to determine its levels and further
action.
4.4.4 Waste shall be stored in a secure container.
4.4.5 Dust suppression shall be employed at the Rollover, IUF, Disposal Cells,
haul roads, shredder and any other facility when called for by any
employee or contractor of EnergySolutions .
4.4.6 Disposable PPE designated for training purposes shall be marked "For
Training Use Only".
4.4.7 Newly purchased PPE designated for use in the Restricted Area, which has
not been used may be stored outside of the Restricted Area.
4.4.8 Tools shall not be brought into the Radiologically Contaminated portion of
the RA unless an adequate tool is not available in the Radiologically
Contaminated portion of the RA.
4.4.9 When special tools or equipment are required for work in the Restricted
Area, which are not available in the Restricted Area, wrapping/sleeving
shall be considered to minimize the potential for contaminating the object.
4.4.10 Prior to any type of maintenance/repairs on vehicles or equipment in the
Radiologically Contaminated portion of the RA, Radiation Safety shall be
notified for survey.
4.4.11 The individual performing the maintenance/repairs shall contact a RST for
survey.
• The RST shall survey the part of the vehicle or equipment to be
worked on, including the work area.
• The RST shall consult with the applicable Site Manager and the
individual who shall be performing the work to determine the
Non-Proprietary Page 6 of 9
CL-RS-PR-130
Radiological Control Revision 6
additional Radiological Controls required for work, if any, or if
decontamination is required.
• The RST shall authorize the maintenance/repairs when he/she is
satisfied that the Radiological Controls are sufficient to allow the
work to be completed ALARA.
