Implementation is to be conducted at the site level.
The guidance provided below will assure consistency with the risk analyses conducted in support of the policy development and will utilize existing site controls for implementation. The values provided in this guidance are to be used as a screening criteria or action level and do not imply risk or dose-based standards. Candidate Radioactively Contaminated Carbon Steel Candidate materials to be recycled into low-level waste containers will have contamination levels less than 100 times the DOE Order 5400.5, Radiation Protection of the Environment and Public, Table 1, Surface Activity Guidelines, and be managed consistent with site practices for other materials with similar contamination levels. The containers are considered radioactive material and must be controlled by the Department site administrative controls. The analyses conducted in support of the Recycling Policy indicate that the containers will not result in contamination spread or require dosimetry for handling or storage.
