Rediological Safety, CUTF SEVEN Operation Plan No. 3-53
RADIOLOGICAL SAFETY REGULATIONS
1.
The Meximum Permissible Exposures (MPEs) and Maximm Fermissible Linits
(HPLs) as stated herein are applicable to a field experimental test ef
nucleer devices in peacetime wherein numbers of personnel engeged in
these tests have been previously exposed or will be continuously exposed
to potential radiation hazards,
It may become necessary fror a studr of
personnel records to reduce the MFE for certain individuals who heave
recently been over=exposed to redistion,
Further, the MPEs end LFLs ere
subject to revision by waiver from the task force cormender in indtvi~
dually designated cases when circumstances indicate the need and justi~
ficetion therefor,
2.
Due to the special neture of field tests it is considered that a policy
of strict adherence to the radiological st=nderds prescribed for rovtine
work is not realistic,
The reguictions set forth herein heave been Ce»
signed as a reasonable and safe compromise considering conscrvstion of
personnel exposures, the internetional import of the test and the cost
aspects of operational delays chargeable to excessive rediclogicel pre
eeutions,
In all ceases other than emergencies or tacticel situctions,
the wltimete criteria will be limited by the MPEs for personnel,
Specie
instences may erise such as in the case of an cir-sea rescue within the
R/DEX, or in the case of a tactic2l situation, in shich operations will
be carried out without regard to the MFEs and MPLs prescribed herein,
For such emergeney or tactical operetions the eritcrie prescribed below
for tactical situations will be used as a guide,

Wherever possible,
