This committee will oversee the radiation protection of personnel working on the Retained Premises, and ensure that all such activities performed on the Retained Premises are completed in compliance with 10 CFR Part 20: Standards for Protection Against Radiation, the Retained Premises Radiation Protection Program (RP-RPP) and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) license CSF-1.

2.0 MEMBERSHIP The West Valley Site Management Program (WVSMP) Part 20 RSC is comprised of the WVSMP Director representing executive management, assigned WVSMP Program Managers, the WVSMP Radiation Safety Officer (RSO), and the WVSMP Safety and Health Supervisor.

3.0 RESPONSIBILITY The Part 20 RSC will be responsible for exercising effective oversight of the RP-RPP.

4.0 DUTIES To effectively fulfill its responsibilities, the Part 20 RSC will:

  • Be familiar with all pertinent regulations and As Low as Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) policies and practices.
  • Establish training program requirements for all individuals working with, or in the vicinity of, radioactive materials.

a Review summaries of occupational dose records, radiological facility surveys, area monitoring results, radioactive emission measurements, and any other environmental data collected to ensure that individual and collective doses are maintained ALARA.

  • Review all work activities that involve contact with radioactive materials.
  • Prescribe special conditions that will be required during a proposed work activity (e.g., personnel monitoring, bioassay requirements, etc.).

RP-RPPOO1.00 Page 2 of 2 Conduct annual audits of the RP-RPP to determine that associated activities are being conducted safely and in accordance with 10 CFR 20. The committee will consider and/or act on the audit recommendations or findings.

Review summaries of all radioactive material incidents or other radiation safety problems; investigate and evaluate the cause of the incident or problem; recommend, initiate, and/or provide for corrective actions; and verify implementation of corrective actions.

Review and approve radiation protection procedures and WVSMP policies for the Retained Premises prior to their implementation to ensure that the revised program is in accordance with regulatory requirements and will not decrease the effectiveness of the RP-RPP.

5.0 RECORDKEEPING Meeting minutes will include, at a minimum, the date of the meeting; members, both present and absent; and a summary of discussions and recommendations from the meeting.
