Definition of Clothing Contamination



The Big Rock Point (BRP) Restoration Project has another survey question.  Some
of you may have answers that will help us define the standard industry practice
(if such a definition exists).

Our question relates to defining a clothing contamination incident.  Clearly,
contamination of street clothes or underwear worn under anti-contamination
protective clothing (PCs) should be defined as a clothing contamination
incident.  However, the identification of contamination on modesty garments
provided by the company to be worn under PCs poses a gray area as to defining a
clothing contamination incident.

For those of you RADSAFERs out there who track clothing contamination incidents
and issue modesty garments to be worn under PCs, do you classify contamination
identified on a modesty garment when performing a whole body frisk as a clothing
contamination incident?

Thanks in advance for your reply.
