Abstract
During the operating life of a uranium mine facility tools, equipment and materials frequently have to be removed from the facility. When the facility is decommissioned, many items have potential value for re-use. It is important that the levels of uranium contamination on such items be restricted in order to limit radiation doses to workers and the public. This document prescribes levels that may be used in making the decision whether or not specific tools, equipment or materials may be removed from a facility. Systematic cleaning of items to be removed must be performed to remove as much loose contamination as possible from all surfaces. For accessible surfaces, residual contamination levels must be less than 10{sup 5} Bq/m{sup 2} averaged over an area of 300 cm{sup 2}. Porous materials such as lumber must not be removed for re-use if they have been used in places where they are likely to have come into contact with uranium. (L.L.).
