Objectives The following sections contain recommendation ( which are intended tn accomplish the objectives of the University Radiation Safety Program, which are: a. To maintain a level of radiation exposure as low as rensonahty schievable (ALARA) b. To reduce the possibility of entry of raillnactive material into tite human body by ingestion, inhalation, absorpt ion, or tha migh . open wounds. J O 9 I i ______,_ . - . ______._ . . - - - , , - - ; _ . #Or . .. ..a 0 : ! , . ' c. To reduce to the lowest practicable vaines the amounts of i radioactive material released to the general environment. ' Since these reco===adations were made to cov'er most of the general situations ' and cannot possibly cover all circumstances, there may .be instances in which In such situations, Health Physics- ; , these recommendations do not apply. Radiation Control should be contacted for assistance or clarification, and if the problems cannot then be rectified they shall be presented before the Committee for resolution. . 2. Per=4 =mihle Doce Limits , Permissible dose limits and concentrations of radioisotopes in air and water have been established by both the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Department of Health of the State of Michigan. It must be emphasized that although these limits have been established under the concept that no probable i radiation damage will occur at these levels, all exposure should be kept as | low as reasonably achievable (ALARA). ' I 1 The following Investigational and Action Levels have been incorporated as , part of Wayne State University's ALARA concept. 1 . 1 Investigational Levels i Area of Rzposure (areas per calendar, quar,ter) | _ - Level I 1:evy1_TI; J O 1.

Submit a complete renewal application with proper fee or termination request at least 30 days before the expiration date of your license. You will receive a reminder notice approximately 90 days before the expiration date. Possession of byproduct material after your license expires is a violation of NRC regulations. A license will not normally be renewed, except on a case-by-case basis, in instances where licensed material has never been possessed or used. 1 In addition, please note that NRC Form 313 requires the applicant, by his/her | signature, to verify that the applicant understands that all statements contained in the application are true and correct to the best of the applicant's knowledge. The signatory for the application should be the licensee or certifying official rather than a consultant. l You will be periodically inspected by NRC. Failure to conduct your program in accordance with NRC regulations, license conditions, and representations made in your license application and supplemental correspondence with NRC will result in enforcement action against you. This could include issuance of a notice of violation, or imposition of a civil penalty, or an order suspending, modifying or revoking your license as specified in the General Policy and Procedures for NRC Enforcement Actions,10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C. Since serious consequences to employees and the public can result from failure to comply with NRC requirements, prompt and vigorous enforcement action will be taken when dealing with licensees who do not achieve the necessary meticulous attention to detail and the high standard of compliance which NRC expects of its licensees.
