Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 64E-5.604 - ALARA Program
(1) Each licensee
shall develop and implement a written program to maintain radiation doses and
releases of radioactive material in effluents to unrestricted areas as low as
reasonably achievable as provided in Rule
64E-5.303, F.A.C.
(2) The management, radiation safety officer,
and all authorized users shall participate in the establishment,
implementation, and operation of the program as required by these regulations
or the radiation safety committee.
(3) For licensees that are not required to
have a radiation safety committee, medical institutions, management and all
authorized users shall participate in the program as required by the
RSO.
(4) The ALARA program shall
include an annual review by the radiation safety committee for medical
licensees required to have a radiation safety committee, or by management and
the RSO for licensees that are not required to have a radiation safety
committee. The review shall include summaries of the types, amounts and
purposes of radioactive material used; occupational dose reports; and
continuing education and training of all personnel who work with or in the
vicinity of radioactive material. The purpose of the review is to ensure that
individuals make every reasonable effort to maintain occupational doses, doses
to the general public, and releases of radioactive material as low as
reasonably achievable, taking into account the state of technology and the cost
of improvements in relation to benefits.
(5) The licensee shall retain a current
written description of the ALARA program for the duration of the license. The
written description shall include:
(a) A
commitment by management to keep occupational doses as low as reasonably
achievable;
(b) A requirement that
the radiation safety officer annually report to management in writing on the
radiation safety program; and,
(c)
Categories of personnel exposure levels that, when exceeded, will initiate
investigation by the radiation safety officer of the cause of the exposure and
actions taken to reduce the probability of
recurrence.
