Radiation Safety Guide.
National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), (2004). Compiles policies and procedures that have
been adopted and are presently being followed at NIEHS for the use of
radioactive materials and ionizing radiation sources. It also includes some
material adapted from the NIH Radiation Safety Guide.
- DOE Standard - Radiological Control. US Department of Energy (DOE) DOE-STD-1098-99, (2004, June), 835 KB
PDF, 192 pages.
Assists line managers in meeting their responsibilities for implementing
occupational radiological control programs.
- Radiation Control Manuals from Department of Energy (DOE) Laboratories:
- Fermilab Radiological Control Program. Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory
(Fermilab), Chapter 1, (1999, September).
-
Radiological Safety. Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC),
(2007). Describes the engineering and administrative controls required
to maintain personal radiation doses ALARA, to prevent uncontrolled or
accidental exposure to ionizing radiation, and to prevent release of
radioactive material into the environment.
- SLAC Radiological Control Manual. (1999,
December 31), 1 MB
PDF,
268 pages. Summarizes the elements of
the Radiological Health and Safety Policy and is intended to guide the
actions of every person involved in radiological work at SLAC.
- LBNL Radiation Safety. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
(LBNL) Health and Safety
Manual, PUB-3000, Chapter 21, (1997, December).
-
Jefferson Lab Radiation Control Manual. Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility
(JLab), (2004, January). Establishes the requirements of Jefferson
Lab's Radiation Protection Program (RPP) based on 10 CFR 835 and
ensures that Radiation Control activities are conducted in accord with
this RPP. Includes formal plans and measures for applying the ALARA
process to occupational exposure.
-
Office of Worker Safety and Health - Radiation Protection Policy.
US Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Worker Safety and Health Policy. Develops and issues the
Department of Energy's occupational radiation protection policy, requirements
and guidance. Key regulatory topics covered in 10
CFR 835 include:
- monitoring individual internal and external radiation dose,
- radiation safety training,
- workplace monitoring,
- As Low As Reasonably Achievable
(ALARA) programs,
- radiation detection instrumentation,
- posting and control of radioactive material,
- radiation dose reporting.
