Non-radiological

Keep all laboratory equipment and materials in the radiological work areas. They should not be transported to non-radiological work areas unless given permission by the laboratory instructor. 

Non-radiological investigations for transient ischemic attack and stroke... 

The use of air monitoring data along with the appropriate statistical analysis can be useful in determining if the work is being performed within controls. Personal air monitoring for non-radiological chemical exposures is required by one DOE rule,... 

The physical protection of fissile and radioactive materials and of nuclear power plants as a whole is mentioned where appropriate but is not treated in detail obligations of States in this respect should be addressed on the basis of the relevant instruments and publications developed under the auspices of the IAEA. Non-radiological aspects of industrial safety and environmental protection are also not explicitly considered it is recognized that States should fulfil their international undertakings and obligations in relation to these. 

Bums/smoke inhalation Non-radiological fire (including forklift, electrical system) Portable fire extinguishers are located on all forklifts and in HCF. 

Therefore, there are no non radiological hazardous chemicals identified in sufficient quantities in... 

There are currently no non-radiological hazardous chemicals in K-Reactor or in the L- or P-Reactor Disassembfy Basin in suffident quantities to pose a safety concern to the workers, public, or the oxvironmait Shmild hazardous chemicals be brought into K-Reactor or in the L- or P-Reactor Disassonbly Barin that are not on the allowable chemical fist or in excess of the ma dmum allowable quantities, contrary to the adadministrative controls stated in Section 7.2.4, the safety concerns may be created (Ref 8-51). 

In protecting the environment particular emphasis has to be given to the limitation of radionuclide releases, non-radiological environmental inpacts and the future availability of natural resources. 

Non-radiological environmental protection requires that radioaaive waste management is undertaken with a level of environmental protection at least as good as that required for similar industrial activities. 

The future availability of natural resoturces is dependant on the limitation of radionuclide releases aiKl the non-radiological environmental protection. Furthermore, migration of radionuclides after closure of a disposal facility has to be taken into account as a long-term risk for contamination of natural resources (see principle 4). 

Remediation decisions are influenced by non-radiological considerations also. 

Mr. Queniart reiterated the French approach of case-by-case decisions, especially with respect to the importance of non-radiological considerations. 

Non-radiological aspects of industrial safety and environmental protection are also not explicitly considered it is recognized that States should fulfil their international undertakings and obligations in relation to these. 

These Regulations do not specify controls such as routeing or physical protection which may be instituted for reasons other than radiological safety. Any such controls shall take into account radiological and non-radiological hazards, and shall not detract from the standards of safety which these Regulations are intended to provide. 

There is a certain amount of non-radiological hazardous material present by necessity at nuclear power stations. Should this be accidentally acciunulated, released or disturbed it might challenge nuclear safety in a variety of ways ... 

This incidentally satisfies USNRC requirements. Standpipes within the PCCWST limit the available amount of water for fire-fighting to less than the limit on how much water can be put into the non-radiological side of the Auxiliary Building before flooding becomes a threat to the safety equipment. 

The only disadvantage from using the PCCWST as the source of fire-fighting water to the non-radiological side of the Auxiliary Building is that there is less water potentially available in the PCCWST for its primary safety duty. 

S.4.4.6 Elimination of the Internal Flooding Threat from the Non-Radiological Side of the Auxiliary Building... 

The Environment Report (Reference 14.4) defines the operational non-radiological impacts. This includes the impact of cooling and analysis of chemical waste streams.
