Questions and answers

What does the publication require for ionizing radiation exposure?

To minimize exposures to ionizing radiation, the federal government has established dose limits for workers and the general public. (paragraph 1)

What are the program's specific objectives?

Specific objectives are to: 1) maintain exposures to workers and the public ALARA; 2) enhance installation security; and 3) ensure compliance with federal/state law and DoD/AF policy. (paragraph 2)

What controls must prevent unauthorized radioactive-material activity?

Establishes controls to prevent unauthorized acquisition, receipt, use, storage, transfer, transport, or disposal of RAM on the installation (to include RAM used in classified operations). (paragraph 48-148)

How are abnormal or suspected radiation overexposures reported?

Ensure any abnormal exposures or suspected overexposures to radiation are immediately reported to the IRSO. (paragraph 48-148)

How often must radiation safety training be provided?

Ensures radiation safety (i.e. ALARA) training is provided annually to all organizations/personnel who use or store RAM or operational RPDs. (paragraph 48-125)
