§ 835.1101  Releases of materials and equipment from radiological areas. 

 


  The following requirements apply for the release of materials 
and equipment from radiological areas for use in controlled 
areas: 
  (a) In radiological areas established to control surface or 
airborne radioactive material, material and equipment shall 
be treated as radioactive material and shall not be released 
from radiological areas to controlled areas if either of the 
following conditions exist: 
  (1) Measurements of accessible surfaces show that either the 
total or removable contamination levels exceed the values specified 
in appendix D to this part; or 
  (2) Prior use suggests that the contamination levels on inaccessible 
surfaces are likely to exceed the values specified in appendix 
D to this part. 
  (b) Material and equipment exceeding the total or removable 
contamination levels specified in appendix D to this part may 
be conditionally released for movement on-site from one radiological 
area for immediate placement in another radiological area only 
if appropriate monitoring and control procedures are established 
and exercised. 
  (c) Material and equipment with fixed contamination levels 
that exceed the limits specified in appendix D to this part 
may be released for use in controlled areas outside of the radiological 
areas with the following provisions: 
  (1) Removable contamination levels are below the level specified 
in appendix D of this part; and 
  (2) Materials shall be routinely monitored, clearly labeled, 
or tagged to alert personnel of the contaminated status; appropriate 
administrative procedures shall be established and exercised 
to maintain control of these items. 
  (d) The records for release of material and equipment shall 
describe the property, date on which the release survey was 
performed, identity of the individual who performed the survey, 
type and identification number of the survey instrument used, 
and results of the survey.
