Radiation protection guidelines for releasing commodities from radiation controlled areas

Yamamoto, Hideaki

The Japanese radiation protection criteria for releasing commodities from radiation controlled areas are set in terms of the radioactive contamination concentrations on the surface of the commodities. The current criteria were established more than 40 years ago, based on the knowledge of radiological protection of those days. The Japanese Standardization Committee on Radiation Protection, Japan Health Physics Society has been making some fact-finding studies on the control practices for releasing commodities from radiation controlled areas in some typical nuclear sites. Based on the results from these studies the Committee will develop a new approach to a possible amendment of the release criteria. The current principles of radiological protection suggest that an application of the concept of "clearance of materials from regulatory control" may establish a logical and practical framework for radiological protection for releasing commodities from radiation controlled areas.
