Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Research facilities under the jurisdiction of the United States Department of Energy are required to formally report significant radioactive contamination incidents to the Department of Energy under Department of Energy Order 5000.3. Through the reporting process, the Department of Energy is given a detailed incident description through a notification report, periodically apprised of subsequent facility response through update reports, and informed of the corrective actions that the facility will implement to prevent incident recurrence through a final report. For tracking and trending purposes, the notification, update, and final reports are entered into the Department of Energy Occurrence Reporting and Processing System database. This paper details an analysis that was performed on the radioactive contamination incident reports that were entered into the Department of Energy Occurrence Reporting and Processing System database by two similar research facilities at Los Alamos National Laboratory. The analysis focused on personnel protective equipment requirements at the two facilities to determine whether personal skin and clothing contamination incidents could be better avoided. |
