Initial Site-Specific De-Inventory Report for Big Rock Point Report No.: RPT-3014537-002
6.5 ALARA Planning Specific requirements are provided in 10CFR72.126 “Criteria for radiological protection” that address radiological control measure for work with dry cask storage of SNF. Infrastructure requirements that would be required for transitioning from essentially a static, monitoring condition of the storage of SNF to an active work-site that involves handling and loading operations would be considerable. Stranded sites that are no longer staffed with trained and qualified health physics personnel would be dependent upon either loaned labor from the utility, if those resources are still available, and/or contract health physics staff. In addition, portable survey instruments, portable Continuous Air Monitors (CAMs), and area radiation monitors must be provided along with the means to maintain them, calibrate, and response check for usage. Infrastructure must also be provided to facilitate safe operations at the site. Temporary offices, electric power for lights, equipment and instrumentation, potable water, and limited decontamination facilities must be in place prior to start of operations at the ISFSI. Considerations must be made to provide for the following: Effluent monitoring and control Airborne and direct radiation monitoring capabilities Personnel and equipment access control Radioactive material control Decontamination capabilities for personnel and equipment ALARA equipment such as temporary shielding for low exposure waiting areas, video surveillance equipment, and other remote or robotic equipment may be appropriate In accordance with the requirements stated in 10CFR20 and 10CFR72, sufficient controls must be in place to protect the workers and the public from radiation. Therefore, at a minimum, the following requirements must be satisfied prior to commencement of radiological work activities at the site: Approved radiological control procedures in place A sufficient number of trained and qualified Radiological Control Technicians (RCTs) are mobilized and ready to support operations at the pad (estimated at one supervisor and three RCTs per shift) Sufficient quantity of radiation control equipment and consumable supplies on hand to support the planned work activities (Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), signage for posting, radwaste controls, etc.) Qualified radiation protection/ALARA supervision assigned for oversight of radiological work activities Personnel dosimetry for monitoring worker doses including Thermoluminescent Dosimeters (TLDs) and electronic dosimeters available for issue A bioassay program in place for worker monitoring ( in vivo and in vitro as necessary)
