Radiological Safety, CJTF SEVEN Operation Plan No. 2-53

RADIOLOGICAL SAFETY REGULATIONS
1.

The Mexcimum Permissible Exposures (MPEs) and Maximum Permissible Limits

(HPLs) as stated herein are applicable to a field experimental test of
nuclear devices in peacetime wherein numbers of personnel engaged in
these tests have been previously exposed or will be continuously exposed
to potential radiation hazards,

It may become necessary from a study of

personnel records to reduce the MPE for certain individuels who have
recently been over-exposed to radiation.

Further, the KPEs and MPLs are

subject to revision vy waiver from the task force cormender in individually designated cases when cirewsstances indicate the need and justie
ficetion therefor,

2.

Due to the special nature of field tests it is considered that a polley
of strict adherence to the radiological standards prescribed for routine

work -is not realistic,

The regulations set forth herein heve been de=

Signed as a reasonable and safe compromise considering conserv-tion of
personnel exposures, the internetional import of the test and the cost
aspects of operetional delays chargeable to excessive rediological pre~
cautions.

In all cases other than emergencies or tactical situations,

the ultimate criteria will be limited by the MPEs for personnel.

Special

instances may arise such as in the case of an cir-sea rescue within the

RADEX, or in the case of a tactical situation, in sshich operations will
be carried out without regard to the MPEs end MPLs prescribed herein,
For such emergency or tactical operations the criteria prescribed below
for tactical situations will be used as a guide,

Wherever possible,

however, film bedges will be carried and RedSafe monitors will cccoxnprny
such operations to determine the extent of the «actual redintion hazard

experienced in order that eppropricte redictl action my be initirted.
