h. Bio/environmental sample collection as required and transmission i. Clean-up support radiological surveys. to the laboratory for analysis. 3. Radiation Limits. a. References a and b, which give the acceptable limits for radiation exposure to workers, will apply during the operation. The basic is 5 rem per year, or 1-1/4 rem per quarter. amount. No one worker will receive more than this This shall not apply to Bikini people. Bikini native workers will be considered as individuals in the general population, having an exposure limit of 0.5 rem per year. b. Plutonium alpha acceptable contamination limits are specified in c. Limits for internal exposures and concentrations of specific isotopes reference c. will be governed by reference d. d. The On-Site Commander (CJTG 8.8) will take positive action to insure that no worker receives a dosage exceeding the limiting amounts prescribed by the references. 4. Responsibilities. a. DOD: JTF 8 will manage the clean-up effort, to include radiological safety support. The DASA Nuclear Emergency Team (DASA NET) will deploy one officer and three Enlisted Men initially to support the Commander, Joint Task Group 8.8 (CITG 8.8). This group will be augmented with additional people as needed. b. AEC: The AEC will be responsible for determining that the radiological health and safety requirements for the scrap removal project at Bikini Atoll are met at the completion of this project. The AEC will provide an advisor for health physics and radiation protection matters. The NVOO Safety Advisory Group will advise CJTG 8.8 during the operation and will make the determination at the close. 5. Safety Procedures. a. Radiological monitoring and health protection support will be made available for all clean-up operations. b. Film badges and pencil type dosimeters will be worn byall personnel participating in Bikini Clean-Up. |
