Description

This standard applies to the clearance of items and materials
from areas controlled to protect individuals from exposure to
radiation or radioactive material during or after operations. This
standard establishes a primary radiation dose criterion and derived
screening levels for surface and volume radioactivity for groups of
radionuclides.

The following are not included in the scope of this
standard:

1. naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM) in bulk;

2. radioactive materials in or on persons, including 40K in the
body;

3. release of a licensed or regulated site or facility;

4. radioactive materials on or in foodstuffs;

5. release of land or soil intended for agricultural
purposes;

6. clearance issues related to national defense or security;

7. process gases and liquids, including those discharged in
accordance with federal or state license requirements;

8. radioactive material in transport in accordance with
Department of Transportation, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(USNRC), or U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) regulations; and

9. radioactive materials at concentrations or quantities
governed by regulations or exemption or exclusion.

This clearance standard is not intended as a substitute for
radiological criteria for decommissioning or for intervention
criteria during cleanup projects. This standard provides screening
levels, which are protective of the public health, for the
clearance of items or materials
