Footnotes
1 The term ‘radioisotope’ is commonly used in the context of the facilities considered in this Safety Guide and is therefore retained here. Strictly, the word ‘radionuclide’ ought to be used or the word ‘radioisotope’ would need to be qualified by the name of the element to which it relates (e.g. a radioisotope of cobalt).
2The term ‘radiation source’ includes radioactive sources and radiation generators. ‘Radiation’ as used in the IAEA safety standards means ionizing radiation.
3Emergency arrangements are “the integrated set of infrastructural elements, put in place at the preparedness stage, that are necessary to provide the capability for performing a specified function or task required in response to a nuclear or radiological emergency” [15]. These elements may include authorities and responsibilities, organization, coordination, personnel, plans, procedures, facilities, equipment or training.
4A typical face velocity of air entering a fume hood opening is around 0.4 to 0.6 m/s.
5Fume hoods need a large volume of air and this may have design implications for the volume of air needed in the radioisotope production facility.
6Such hazards may include geological phenomena in areas of potential or actual subsidence, uplift, collapse, faulting or volcanic activity; however, a limited scope consideration may be used that is focused on the specific circumstances that exist.
7A controlled area is a defined area in which specific protection measures and safety provisions are or could be required for controlling exposures or preventing the spread of contamination in normal working conditions and preventing or limiting the extent of potential exposures [3].
8A supervised area is a defined area not designated as a controlled area but for which occupational exposure conditions are kept under review, even though no specific protective measures or safety provisions are normally needed [3].
9An uninterruptible power supply is a backup power supply that, in case of power failure or power fluctuations, allows enough time for an orderly shutdown of the system or for a standby generator to start up.
