RDW 2.1 NNSR

f.  ; Revision 1

( ./ 12-08-83 RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL HANDLING RESPONSIBILITIES l

i 1.0 GENERAL Various Federal and State regulations have been established to prevent the loss or disposal of radioactive material during shipment and to insure the safety of the public, transportation workers, and plant personnel. Due to the complexity of these regulations and the requirements at PBNP, specific procedures have.been established covering the various phases of radioactive material handling and shipping. These procedures, which outline the specific requirements of the Federal and State regulations in addition to the in-plant practices are not intended to be as complete as the original documents. Therefore, all questions or conflicts should be answered by

referring to the specific publications listed in the reference section of this procedure.
