[ RadSafe ] radilogical postings

[Redmond, Randy (RXQ)]

Doug,

10CFR835 (DOE) contains definitions for Contamination and High
Contamination Areas.  In the DOE world there isn't a
recognized/regulatory hierarchy.  We developed our own based on what we
(radiological control) considered the most significant hazard (and
hazard recognition by our personnel) and our operations.
