Radiation Safety Manual

A radioanalytical chemistry laboratory requires a Radiation Safety Manual (RSM) or Radiation Protection Plan (RPP) in addition to a Quality Assurance Plan (QAP). The format is controlled by the licensing agency for the facility the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requires the RSM, while the Department of Energy (DOE) requires the RPP. These plans are stand-alone documents that deal specifically with radiation safety issues and practices to set safe operating parameters in the laboratory.

Other IAEA series that include safety related sales publications are the Technical Reports Series, the Radiological Assessment Reports Series and the INSAG Series. The IAEA also issues reports on radiological accidents and other special sales publications. Unpriced safety related publications are issued in the TECDOC Series, the Provisional Safety Standards Series, the Training Course Series, the IAEA Services Series and the Computer Manual Series, and as Practical Radiation Safety Manuals and Practical Radiation Technical Manuals.
