Westinghouse Hanford Company radiological protection dose summary and ALARA [As Low As Reasonably Achievable] goal report, calendar year 1989
Each year a Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) goals are developed and reported to the Department of Energy, Richland Operations (DOE-RL). In addition to providing DOE-RL with goal status, these reports provide Westinghouse Hanford Company (WHC) management with a dose summary and status of annual ALARA goals. The CY-89 ALARA collective dose goal of 520 person-rem for compliance workers was easily met. A large contribution to the saved collective dose resulted from special ALARA practices and principles used by N Reactor during the tube inspection process which resulted in a significant reduction of 73 person-rem from the projected dose. No significant skin contaminations were incurred by WHC workers in CY-89. This report provide detailed information about the distribution of radiation dose and presents the apportionment of those doses to separate facilities. By combining the dose summary and the ALARA dosimetry goal status per facilities, some areas within specific WHC organizations were found no to be represented by ALARA teams. This caused some discrepancies in the report. These areas are clearly labeled in each organizational subsection with an asterisk. ALARA facility team chairs are currently investigating within their own organizations how to resolve representation for organizations. 11 figs., 6 tabs.
