However, the assessment of this dosedepends not only on the measurements of contaminants present, but also on the future use of thematerial and the pathways by which p

This guide provides a recommendedapproach to support a petition (to a regulatory agency) seeking approval for the recycle or disposal ofthe material outside of the radioactive materials regulatory arena.If dose rate limits are established by regulation, this approach is a reco

5、mmended way to demonstratecompliance with them. Until that occurs, the limits will have to be proposed by the owners thatadvance the argument that recycle should be permitted because the dose is very small.The Scope defines the range of applicability of this guide; the Summary identifies the two maj

6、orsteps that comprise the method; and the significance of the guide is given in Section 5. Section 6discusses the need for dose rate based release criteria, and Section 7 delineates the steps for decidingwhether or not a material should be considered for recycle. Section 8 describes the steps needed
