Revision 00 6.2 Personnel Monitoring and Decontamination CAUTION 6 2.1 DB-HP-1701, Personnel Contamination Evaluation and Decontamination provides additional personnel monitoring and decontamination instructions. This procedure shall be used only under the direction of an RP Tester or RP Management.
6.2.1 Personnel Monitoring
- a. Use a frisker or equivalent survey meter with HP-260 or HP-210 (thin window pancake detector) or equivalent probe operationally checked in accordance with RA-EP-02250, Radiation Monitoring Surveys.
- b. Survey the hands and feet of each evacuated person using the following techniques:
- 1. Obtain a current background reading on the frisker and record.
- 2. Set the meter on the lowest useable scale.
- 3. Use the audible if available on the meter.
- 4. Survey with the detector window toward the surface to be surveyed, and at a distance of 1/4 to 1/2 inch.
- 5. Move the detector at a speed of no more than 2 inches per second.
- 6. Continually observe meter movement.
- 7. Hold probe over any suspected higher meter movement.
- c. Completely survey any individual with contamination readings greater than or equal to 100 cpm above background.
- d. Record the readings and personal information on, the Offsite Personnel Decontamination Worksheet, DBEP-059.
- 1. Record the contamination levels in CPM and the body location on the Offsite Personnel Decontamination Worksheet, DBEP-059, prior to decontamination.
- 2. Record contamination levels after each decontamination attempt.
7 RA-EP-02550 Revision 00
- e. Offsite Personnel Decontamination Worksheets, DBEP-059, are to be transmitted to the Emergency RP Manager after decontamination is conducted. ' -
6.2.2 Preparation for Decontamination
-a. When establishing a decontamination area at the offsite facility:
- 1. Use a clean side/dirty side approach to minimize spread of contamination. '
- 2. Use as much equipment and consumables as needed but do not generate unnecessary radioactive waste.
- 3. When decontaminating personnel at the Lindsey Service Center, be aware that the drains (i.e. sink, shower) go to a separator and then a drying field. Ensure the separator and the drying field are posted as "potentially contaminated" prior to decdntamination.
- 4. When decontaminating vehicles at the Lindsey Service Center, be aware that the floor drains go to a ditch outside the building.' Seal off the culverts in this ditch to confine the waste water.
- 5. Post the confined area as "potentially contaminated" before decontaminating vehicles.
- b. If some area other than Lindsey is used, consider the drain paths involved and post them accordingly.
- c. Isolate an area within the offsite assembly area to conduct personnel decontamination. See Attachment 1, Lindsey Service Center.
- d. Set up receptacles to receive used decontamination materials and contaminated personal items.
- e. Personnel conducting decontamination shall don protective clothing.
6.2.3 Skin Decontamination
- a. Guidelines
- 1. Minimize the potential for internal contamination by exercising caution when decontaminating to prevent breaking the skin.
- 2. .Use tepid water for washing. Water that is too warm will open the body pores which may absorb contamination, and
- water that is too cold closes the body pores trapping contamination.
8 RA-EP-02550 Revision 00
- 3. Decontamination shall be performed in a manner to prevent spreading contamination from areas of higher contamination to areas of lower contamination.
- 4. It is important to determine whether the contamination is a point source (particle) or a plane source. A point source giving the same instrument response as a plane source will give a significantly higher skin dose.
- b. Point Source vs. Plane Source Determination Use the following steps together with visual observation to make a judgment as to whether the contamination is a point source (particle) or a plane source, and record on the Offsite Personnel Decontamination Worksheet, DBEP-059.
- 1. -If the reading with the G-M probe changes rapidly when it is moved about 2 inches in any direction from the highest point of contamination, then the contamination may be a point source.
- 2. If the contamination can be removed by using tape on one small area in one attempt, then the contamination may be a point source.
- 3. All contaminations that are not shown to be a point source shall be considered a plane source.
- 4. Any contamination less than 1,000 cpm shall be considered a plane source.
NOTE 6.2.3.b.5 Point sources (small particles) may be microscopic.
- 5. If it is determined that there is fixed skin contamination levels greater than 1,000 cpm, notify the Emergency RP Manager to obtain medical assistance.
- c. Routine Skin Decontamination
- 1. Attempt to remove particulate contamination using masking tape.
- 2. IF the contamination is located in and around the finger nails, THEN clip or trim the finger nails as much as possible.
- 3. Using damp towelettes or masslin cloth, gently wipe the contaminated areas. Deposit towels or cloths in radwaste.
9 RA-EP-02550 Revision 00
- 4. Thoroughly wash the contaminated areas with mild soap and tepid water for 2-3 minutes.
- 5. When washing the hands pay particular attention to finger nails and areas between the fingers.
- 6. Wash areas using a method that will ensure contamination is not spread from high to low contamination areas.
- 7. Rinse thoroughly with clean tepid water and pat dry.
- 8. Monitor the area with the survey instrument and record on the Offsite Personnel Decontamination Worksheet, DBEP-059.
- 9. When monitoring for contamination, be sure to check areas where contamination may be hidden, such as fingernails.
- 10. Surrounding areas not previously contaminated shall be surveyed to ensure contamination has not been spread to thoie areas. If necessary, decontaminate additional areas.
- 11. If contamination levels exist greater than background, repeat steps 1 through 8 two more times using fresh tepid water for "eachwash and rinse.
- 12. Decontamination is complete when the area has no detectable contamination level above background when monitored with an RM-14 or equivalent with a HP 260 or HP 210 probe.
- 13. If contamination persists, then proceed to section 6.2.3.d.
- d. Nonroutine Skin Decontamination The following skin decontamination steps shall be performed at the offsite assembly ar6a only with specific Emergency RP Manager authorization and only by qualified RP Testers. Decontaminate the most highly contaminated persons first and proceed to lesser contaminated personnel as facilities are available.
- 1. Cleanse the area with special decontamination soap, such as Turco's "Decon Hand Soap". Use soft brush and light pressure to create heavy lather. Wash the area for 2 minutes using care not to erode or scratch the skin.
- 2. Pat dry the area and survey.
- 3. Repeat these steps until contamination levels are not detectable above background or until there is no decrease in the level of contamination.
10 RA-EP-02550 J/
Revision 00
- 4. If contamination persists and continued application of Turco is ineffective, then repeat decontamination washing sequence using undiluted Phisohex or equivalent, and perform the following:
WARNING 6.2.3.d.4.a This decontamination mixture is very abrasive and extreme care should be taken not to abrade the skin excessively.
Do NOT repeat this step, more than three times.
I I a) For persistent contamination on the palms, elbows, knees or callused skin, wash with a mixture of Tide, corn meal and tepid water, then rinse.
b) Blot dry, survey and record results.
WARNING 6.2.3.d.5 Prevent any Clorox or Hydrogen Peroxide from entering wounds or body openings.

- -- items.
18 RA-EP-02550 'I Revision 00
- 2. Wet or dry mopping:
a) Use a standard household mop or masslin mop.
b) This is more effective than hand wiping for large surfaces.
- 3. Scrubbing, brushing and scraping:
a) May be used to remove stubbom deposits or to clean porous surfaces.
b) These methods are generally used with other methods such as flushing, squeezing or vacuuming.
- 4. Low pressure spray with water:
a) This method is used for the gross decontamination of large areas or surfaces containing numerous protrusions.
b) This method is effective in removing loosely bound crud and chemical dissolution, but will not remove the oxide layer.
- 5. Detergents and Degreasers:
a) Approved detergents may be used to enhance manual cleaning methods.
b) Degreasers will remove a grease or oil film and increase the decontamination effectiveness. A degreaser may be employed before or included with the decontamination process.
- 6. Chemical Cleaning:
Concentrated solutions have proven effective for dipping and soaking components. Decontamination factors greater than 25 have been obtained.
- 7. Vacuuming:
Vacuuming is effective for the removal of loose dust and for irregular shaped objects, and is the preferred technique for items, which cannot come into contact with water.
19 RA-EP-02550 Revision 00 6.3.3 Routine Vehicle Decontamination
'NOTE 6.3.3.a The Emergency RP Manager should be contacted to determine if the vehicle should be impounded allowing radionuclide decay to further reduce contamination levels.
