188 RADIOLOGICAL CLEANUP OF ENEWETAK AT The RSAIT performed the broadest range of inspection fun relating to radiation safety (and environmental and occupationalsafe the atoll. They reviewed all procedures established to ensure rac safety and then visited the atoll and inspected the practices actually to ensure that the procedures were adequately implemented. Visit: scheduled as frequently as would be useful (initially quarterly, ever about three per year), and the duration of each inspection vis scheduled to allow thorough observation of actual working conditi the site of each radsafe operation on the various islands of the Formal written reports were provided to Director, DNA, Comm Field Command;andeach of the Services immediately upon conclu: each trip. Director, DNA and Commander, Field Command were personal briefings. Intensive follow-up action was taken on eachi the RSAIT reports. The RSAIT madeten inspection visits to the at one visit to Field Commandduring the cleanup, as shownin Figu: In retrospect, the RSAIT concept was a well-conceived and important aspect of the radiological cleanup operation. By its unques competence and vigorousactivity, it gave confidence at every con echelon that important radsafe aspects were not being overlooked. The RSAIT process also provided significant benefits to the c oo Mes ae DaRA Aes ane Aaahatt, force by its activity in the areas of environmental safety and occup safety. In fact, a review of the RSAIT reports shows that the generally viewed radsafe precautions as tending toward the excessive environmental and occupational safety precautions needed cc attention. RADIOLOGICAL PROTECTION PROCEDURES One way of protecting an individual from unnecessary expos radiation is to keep him away from theradiation: restrict access to rai areas to only those personnel whoseduties require it. Each northern was designated a controlled radiation area until the CJTG ma determination that, based on recommendations of the RCC afte careful review of detailed radiation measurements, the island was decontrol. Except for emergencies, access to radiologically con islands was gained only with the approval of the RPO and was made designated entrance points. All personnel entering controlled island required to wear a dosimetric device; e.g., a film badge, a dosimeter, and/or a thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) (Figur 4-4, and 4-5). An access log, by date, was maintainedat the entrance to each island to record identification data on each individual, includ dosimeter and/or film badge number. One or more membersof the
