functions. viii. Instruments for releasing material from the radiologically controlled area, such as Small item contamination (i.e., box) counters. E. The applicant’s program describes the criteria for selecting the types and quantities of personnel monitoring equipment for use in measuring radiation or radioactivity, in accordance with 10 CFR 20.1501 and 20.1502. The program includes a description of the following types of instrument functions and where appropriate, the related performance criteria: i. Personnel contamination monitors (e.g., friskers, hand-and-foot monitors, standup portal monitors). ii. Self-reading low and intermediate pocket dosimeters, including audible alarm dosimeters (for early evaluation of individual doses). Performance and other requirements conform to RGs 8.4 and 8.28 or to appropriate proposed alternatives. 12.5-12 Draft Revision 5 – October 2012 iii. Remote and local reading alarm dosimeters (coupled with direct or electronic surveillance equipment) for monitoring workers in high- dose/high-dose-rate environments. iv. Personal dosimeters (e.g., film badges, thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD), optically stimulated dosimeters) of sufficient range and sensitivity that are processed and evaluated by a processor accredited by the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP), as appropriate, in conformance with 10 CFR 20.1501(c). v. Provisions for bioassays (in vivo and in vitro as appropriate) and facilities capable of detecting intakes of expected radionuclides (e.g., mixed fission and activation products, tritium, and alpha-emitting nuclides) to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 20.1204 and RG 8.9, and NUREG-0938 or to satisfy appropriate proposed alternatives. F. The applicant’s program describes the methods that will be used to specify utility- issued personnel protection equipment to be provided to minimize personnel contamination and minimize internal exposure in accordance with 10 CFR Part 20, Subpart H and the
