ude data on radiation levels in the area, allowable working time, protective clothing and respiratory protective equipment, special tools, portable shielding, and special personnel monitoring devices. The description of operation, maintenance, repair, surveillance, and refueling procedures and methods used by the applicant should be reviewed to ensure that ORE will be ALARA and in accordance with RG 8.8. For major dose accumulating functions, a post operation review should evaluate the effectiveness of the work permit program in ensuring that ORE will be ALARA in future similar activities. Quality assurance criteria and inspections should be provided for the radiation procedures identified in RG 1.33, in accordance with Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50. Quality assurance of procedures applicable to packaging and transportation of radioactive materials are in accordance with Subpart H of 10 CFR Part 71. There should be (1) provisions for supervision and control of the handling or movement of material within and from radiation or controlled access areas and (2) procedures for controlling the speed of radioactive materials. There should also be provisions for personnel monitoring procedures, bioassays, and keeping records of and reporting personnel doses. In addition, 10 CFR 20.1501, 10 CFR 20.1502, 10 CFR 20.2101, 10 CFR 20.2102, 10 CFR 20.2103, 10 CFR 20.2104, 10 CFR 20.2105, 10 CFR 20.2106, 10 CFR 20.2107, 10 CFR 20.2110, 10 CFR 20.2201, 10 CFR 20.2203, 10 CFR 20.2204, 10 CFR 20.2205, and 10 CFR 20.2306 provide the criteria for radiation surveys, calibration of instruments and equipment used for quantitative radiation measurements, personnel monitoring, bioassays, recordkeeping, and reporting. Guidance regarding these areas appears in RGs 8.2 (surveys and personnel monitoring); RGs 8.9, (bioassays); RGs 8.2 and 8.7 (recordkeeping and reporting); RG 8.8 (decontamination, inspection, radiation protection program, and operations); RG 8.13 (training on radiation risks to
