i 4.5.3 Area Monitoring  ;

The Office of Radiological Safety conducts a program of routine and special area monitoring of the reactor and laboratory buildings. External radiation levels, l airborne activity, and surface contamination are measured. Schedules for routine  !

surveys are determined on the basis of degree of utilization and levels of l' radioactivity being handled in various areas. Special surveys are performed whenever a non-routine activity takes place involving possible significant exposure to radioactivity. Under certain conditions, established by MORS, persons other than members of the Office of Radiological Safety may be authorized to perform .

radiation surveys. Each new installation is carefully surveyed when it is first put into operation and, if the potential hazard warrants, it will be added to the routine  !

survey program. The Office of Radiological Safety maintains records of all surveys,

- and reports significant results to the appropriate persons.

All evidence, both theoretical and empirical, indicates that the only radioactive material emitted from the stack in measurable quantities is argon-41.

Every attempt is being made to isolate the sources of the argon-41 production and minimize its release. It is highly unlikely that the radioactivity released under reactor operating conditions at 5 MW will cause any person continuously residing or working in the neighborhood to be exposed to more than a small fraction of the total effective dose equivalent permitted in 10CRF 20.1301. Ilowever, the environmental monitoring program will continue to demonstrate the validity of this assumption by direct measurement rather than by theoretical analysis.
