PPE
When should you list the specific brand names for radiological suits?
Never
Where are respirator requirements listed?
No place. GD-00016 says to "consider" the use of respiratory protection for things like "entry into airborne radioactivity areas". But it isn't explicitly spelled out in any procedure.
Which RWP types require RP Coverage?
Job Specific and ALARA
When must you include DAC values on your RWP?
When air monitoring will be performed.
True or False:
All RWPs must have Removable Contamination and General Area dose rate values.
True
Select radiological protective clothing based on _______ risk, environmental hazards, and non-radiological considerations.
radiological
True or False:
The Maximum Use Concentration or MUC for each type of respiratory equipment is calculated on an 8 hour Time-Weighted-Average and not to peak, short-term levels. Therefore, it is very unlikely that a MUC will be exceeded.
True
True or False:
Actions performed solely to support entry/exit from an area are considered part of RP Coverage.
False
At what percentage of the DEFAULT alpha DAC value do we post an ARA?
10%
True or False:
All RWPs must have Work Documents listed
False (only Job Specific and ALARA)
Disposable suits are broken down into two categories. What are they?
Permeable and Impermeable
What document governs the Respiratory Protection Program?
DND-IH-PRO-00028, Respiratory Protection Program
Stand-alone characterization surveys performed prior to the work activity do not fulfill the ___________ requirement, when specified on an RWP.
RP Coverage
At what percentage of the Beta DAC value do we post an ARA?
30%
Who approves Job Routine and Job Specific RWPs?
RP Supervisor & Line Manager
Hot work and therefore fire-resistant PPE should be on a separate ____.
Task
What is the MUC for a full face respirator?
5 DAC
_________ ____________ is intended to provide one or more RCTs who continuously monitor radiological conditions.
Continuous Coverage
What is the definition of DAC?
Derived Air Concentration--the concentration of a radionuclide in air that if breathed by a person for an entire working year would irradiate them to their occupational limiting condition (5 rem).
Which two additional approvals are required for ALARA RWPs?
RPE and RPSM
RP-PRO-00032, Selection of Radiological Protection Clothing
100 DAC
What does it mean "to monitor" radiological conditions?
To perform surveys over a period of time
If I were to stand in an area (for 2000 working hours) that has 1 DAC airborne radioactivity concentration, I would receive how much exposure?
5 rem
During use of the RWP ______ _______ must be evaluated to determine if existing controls remain effective.
radiological data
