The following table lists, for workers, the annual limits on oral and inhalation intakes (ALl) for selected radionuclides based on the occupational radiation protection guidance of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (References 1 and 2). An intake of one ALI corresponds to an annual whole body dose of... 

Decommissioning of buildings, facilities and structures for government laboratories must be in accord with Federal regulations in 10 CFR 835, Occupational Radiation Protection and DOE Order 5400.5, Environmental Radiation Protection (online at http //www.directives.doe.gov as of Dec. 2005). All equipment valued over 5,000 is inventoried and tracked, and the final disposition is directed by regulations. 

International and national regulations and guidelines pertinent to human exposure to plutonium and to other radioactive substances are summarized in Table 7-1. Recommendations for radiation protection for people in the general population as a result of exposure to radiation in the environment are found in the Federal Radiation Guidance (FRC 1960) and ICRP No. 26 (ICRP 1977).National guidelines for occupational radiation protection are found in the "Federal Radiation Protection Guidance for Occupational Exposure" (EPA 1987). This guidance for occupational exposure...

Recommendations and guidance on radiation safety and waste management that were provided in other IAEA publications have been consulted in the preparation of this Safety Guide and are referenced in the text. The references include Safety Guides on Occupational Radiation Protection [6] and on Regulatory Control of Radioactive Discharges to the Environment [7]. 

The operating organization of the nuclear power plant is required to ensure that doses conform to the dose limits specified by the regulatory body in respect of the exposure of workers and of members of the public (Ref. [2], paras 1.4 and III.2). These dose limits should be in accordance with those specified in Schedule II of the BSS. Guidance on how to verify compliance with the dose limits for workers is given in the Safety Guide on Occupational Radiation Protection [6]. 

Recommendations related to occupational radiation protection have also been developed by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) [5]. These and other current recommendations of the ICRP [6] have been taken into account in preparing this Safety Guide. 

Measures to meet the general requirements for the radiation protection of workers are described in the related Safety Guide on the application of occupational radiation protection principles [3]. The specific aspects of monitoring that relate to exposure due to intakes of radioactive material are described below.
