RE: DOE 10CFR835 Question

[Richard_M_Pierson@RL.gov]

The DOE IMP GUIDES point you to the new DOE RADCON STD 1098-99 (RCS).
The RCS states in Artcle 322, "RWPs should be used to control entry into
radiological areas", therefore a technical equivalency would be
necessary if other means were going to be used to control entry and exit
requirements.  (ie, proper dosimetry, training, surveillance etc.)
