1993, provides instructions for controlling material in RCAs.
Section
- 9. l.a. requires, in accordance with 10 CFR 20. 1904(a),
each container of radioactive material with quantities greater than those listed in 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix C, bear a durable, clearly visible label bearing a radiation symbol and words "Danger, Radioactive Material" or "Caution, Radioactive Material."
The label must provide sufficient information, such as radiation levels, radionuclides, and amount of radioactivity, to allow individuals
- handling, using, or working in the vicinity of such containers to take precautions against exposure.
Additionally, Section
- 6. 1.3.b. of Attachment 13 requires a completed Radioactive Material Tag to be attached to the material when removable contamination is detected at a
level greater than 100 net counts per minute (cpm) for a survey area of approximately 100 square centimeters (cm').
Section 6.5.2 of Attachment 13 requires tools and scaffolding having fixed contamination, greater than 100 net cpm per probe area, to be marked with magenta paint if they are to be reused.
