National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Innovative ALARA Techniques Used at Hanford.

DE2003807658

Publication Date	2002
Personal Author	Waggoner, L. O.
Page Count	14
Abstract	At Hanford, facilities contain a myriad of radioactive isotopes that are located inside plant systems, underground tanks, and the soil. This means we encounter toxic and hazardous materials that are also highly contaminated and emit alpha, beta, gamma, and neutron radiation. During the last few years, Hanford has concentrated efforts to improve how radiological work gets accomplished using better engineered controls. An ALARA Center of Technology was established to show workers the latest tools, equipment, and work practices used in the industry. An enhanced radiological work planning process emphasizes using team planning for medium and high-risk radiological work. Lesson learned are documented and some of our success stones are worth sharing.
