regulates nuclear materials and facilities to promote the common defense and security

Radiation Area - Answer-a. An area, accessible to individuals, in which radiation levels
could result in an individual receiving a dose equivalent in excess of 0.005 rem in 1 hour
at 30 cm from the radiation source or from any surface that the radiation penetrates

Restricted Area - Answer-Means an area whose access is limited by the licensee for the
purpose of protecting individuals against undue risks from exposure to radiation and
radioactive materials. Restricted areas do not include areas used as residential
quarters, but separate rooms in a residential building may be set apart as restricted

Answer-Up to 5 days

How are exposure rate Surveys to be conducted? - Answer-in an unrestricted area to
ensure that the public isn't being to dose rates that would add up to more than 100
mrem in 1 year

How should radioactive contamination surveys be conducted? - Answer-such that both
fixed and removable contamination can be identified

When is the release of radioactive patients allowed? - Answer-If exposure from the
patient will not exceed 500mrem to any individual of the public or any individual of the
patients immediate family

How is dry waste disposed of? - Answer-most dry waste can be left to decay for 10 half-
lives due to them having relatively short half-lives

How is liquid waste disposed of? - Answer-small quantities of water soluble liquid waste
can be dumped down a designated sink or flushed through a designated sewer system

How is gaseous waste disposed of? - Answer-certain gases, like Xe 133, are typically
disposed of into the atmosphere. Unused Xe 133 is held to decay.

What is the purpose of radioactive waste management? - Answer-to prevent human
contact with concentrations of material or radiation levels significantly above
