| Abstract |
This standard, sponsored by Atomic Industrial Forum, is intended to draw attention to minimum requirements for the protection of miners from overexposure to radiation and radioactive dust and gases in uranium mines. It also suggests control procedures as a guide for management and the competent authorities and agencies in the field of radiological safety in the mining of ores. Sections are devoted to: definitions; external exposure; concentration guide for radioisotopes in air; air sampling for radon daughters and radon; interpretation of air samples; sampling patterns for control purposes; record keeping for individual cumulative exposures; control measures (ventilation, inactive areas, drinking water); protective equipment (respirators); smoking; management and employees' responsibility; procedures for measuring radiation, etc. |
