1 Program Manager’s Review 06/25/2004 Overview of the Radiation Protection (RP) Department Five- Year Goals (From the 50,000-Foot Level)

2 Program Purpose Protect and preserve the radiological health of our workers, the public, and the environment.

Performance Measure 2.3.b: Lost or unreturned dosimeter investigations and dose assignments are carried out in a timely manner (within 90 days of the monitoring period).Performance Measure 2.3.b: Lost or unreturned dosimeter investigations and dose assignments are carried out in a timely manner (within 90 days of the monitoring period). Performance Measure 2.4.a: Radioactive materials, including contaminated and/or activated materials, are controlled at all times.Performance Measure 2.4.a: Radioactive materials, including contaminated and/or activated materials, are controlled at all times. Performance Measure 4.2.b: Low-level waste generated will be managed by the Radioactive Waste and Materials Group in compliance with applicable DOE Orders and regulatory requirementsPerformance Measure 4.2.b: Low-level waste generated will be managed by the Radioactive Waste and Materials Group in compliance with applicable DOE Orders and regulatory requirements

5 SLAC-wide ES&H Goalshttps://www-internal.slac.stanford.edu/esh/divreports/fy04qr2.pdf https://www-internal.slac.stanford.edu/esh/divreports/fy04qr2.pdf RP Five-Year Plan Synopsis in two minutes:  Advance staff education and training.  Develop, acquire and use state of the art methodologies-for shielding, radiation generation, and transport calculations.  Perform world-class research to meet the current & future critical needs in safety design & operation.  Lead the project to properly manage tritium in groundwater.  Review Sealed Source Inventory, discard non-useful sources.  Continue to improve radioactive and mixed waste management programs. Help generators understand their responsibility.  Explore ways to reduce generation of radioactive wastes.  Continue to explore ways to proactively plan for potential waste streams.  Plan the environmental clean-up program.  Advance the environmental monitoring and impact assessment techniques and program.  Advance the high-level dosimetry program.  Enhance web based information system.  Increase communication with project physicists, and Safety Coordinators.  Communicate Radiation Safety Policies to customers.  Have up-to-date department priority list/calendar of activities.  Comparison of radiation safety policies and practices with other labs.  Active participation in workshops, conferences and scientific meetings.  Invitation of project physicists, beam line designers, project leaders and guest speakers to RP meetings and seminars.  Cross-train group leaders in other lead fields of expertise. Improve planning for retraining of HPTs  Improve the radiological safety analysis policies (Technical Basis Document)  Evaluate the feasibility of using a state-of-the art Access Control System at SLAC  Promote proaction in detecting emerging problems via increasing operational presence and oversight.  Make electronic files of radiological surveys.  Archive paper radiological surveys.  Convert paper dosimetry records to electronic records.  Continue to improve electronic records tracking system. Save all shipping documents in electronic format.  Make forms available electronically for customers to access.  Streamline the processes and enhance the capability of radioanalysis lab. Requirements

6  Draining of resources retrieving and processing very old paper records (individual dose reports, surveys, etc.)  Expand RP Website as growing RP services and RP data management needs continue to increase. Risks/Opportunities

7  Convert as many RP records to electronic format as feasible.  Add a customer-feedback feature to the RP Department Website.  Move the whole RP Department into one building. Goals to fill gaps and mitigate risks

8 Other goals and opportunities for the ES&H Division  Make RP electronic records compatible linkable, searchable, and accessible with other ES&H Division and SLAC Institutional Database files.

9 Our Department Five-Year Goals quantized: “ Radddd “ Physics, not bad physics…. and TOP-erational Health Physics, not Slop-erational Health Physics
