ORGANIZATIONAL DIFFICULTIES of INTRODUCTION of
CATEGORIZATION in R F
14
There is a number of serious organizational and
methodical questions at introduction of the
categorization system in scales of the RF

• Who should carry out categorization of
  radionuclide sources?
• What is order of carrying out of categorization?
  Whether is it necessary to be guided by initial
  activity (tt0) or on real (ttreal)? For
  example, initial activity Ir-192 (T1\2 75 days)
  during the appointed service life of a source (1
  year) decreases in 30 times, and for Cs-137 (T1\2
  30 years) initial activity during the appointed
  service life (15 years) decreases only twice.
  These two situations differ basically at an
  establishment of a category of source!!
• What periodicity of carrying out of repeated
  categorization for radionuclides with a half-life
  period smaller the appointed service life of
  sources?
• When is it necessary to establish a category for
  long-living radionuclides with a half-life
  period, much greater of the appointed service
  life of sources (for example, on a design stage
  either at a stage of manufacture or at a stage of
  manufacturing of a source)? In what kind is it
  necessary to bring these data in the passport of
  used source?
• What are responsibilities and sanctions for
  default categorization sources in the
  organizations and at the enterprises? By what
  document it should be designated?
• Other questions!!

15
Plans on introduction of categorization
radionuclide sources in the RF are
15

• The prompt introduction of the Russian document
  TECHNIQUE of CATEGORIZATION of RADIONUCLIDE
  SOURCES on POTENTIAL RADIATION RADIOLOGIC(AL)
  HAZARD (according to RS-G-1.9 and Dangerous
  quantitiesD-values). This is READY(2008)
• Publication of Information Letter about the
  intentions of necessary changes in operating
  Russian Standarts and Guides regarding of
  categorization of radionuclide sources. This is
  READY(2008)
• Realization of necessary changes in texts of
  corresponding Russian Rules, Standarts and Guides
  regarding of categorization of radionuclide
  sources (in particular, for RAIS system). This is
  not READY
• Realization of requirements on categorization of
  radionuclide sources in text of the main Russian
  Rules General regulations on safety ensuring of
  radiation sources. The final draft is created at
  that moment (March 2009). It will put into action
  by the end of this year but this is question!!

Safety requirements to be provided in the
document General regulations on safety ensuring
of Sourses of radiation (1)
18

• Requirements for ensuring radiation safety in
  storage of Sealed Radioactive Sources and
  Unsealed Radioactive Sources and radioactive
  substances during the operation of stationary
  and mobile SOURCES of RADIATION (nuclear
  facilities) on the base of devices, products,
  arrangements and equipment
• Requirements for ensuring accounting for Sealed
  Radioactive Sources and Unsealed Radioactive
  Sources and radioactive substances during the
  operation of stationary and mobile SOURCES of
  RADIATION (nuclear facilities) on the base of
  devices, products, arrangements and equipment
• Requirements for ensuring radiation safety in
  storage of Sealed Radioactive Sources and
  Unsealed Radioactive Sources and radioactive
  substances during the operation of stationary
  and mobile SOURCES of RADIATION (nuclear
  facilities) on the base of devices, products,
  arrangements and equipment

• Requirements for ensuring accounting for Sealed
  Radioactive Sources and Unsealed
  Radioactive Sources and radioactive substances
  during the operation of stationary and mobile
  SOURCES of RADIATION (nuclear facilities) on the
  base of devices, products, arrangements and
  equipment
• Requirements to decommissioning of the SOURCES of
  RADIATION (nuclear facilities)
• Requirements to Emergency Planning and Response
  during the entering into operation, operation and
  decommissioning of the SOURCES of RADIATION
  (nuclear facilities)
• Classification of the SOURCES of RADIATION
  (nuclear facilities) upon their mobility as of
  the objects for industrial activity and
  classification of their systems and elements with
  regard to their affect to safety

20
Russian RAIS 3.0 of the first level covers a
following circle of questions
20

• The information on a national infrastructure
  Regulatory body
• Data on the organization and radiation dangerous
  objects in its structure
• Data about categories of sources and about
  associate equipment for their application
• The order and the procedure of the issue of
  licence or permission
• Data on inspections
• Data on sanctions
• Data about radiological and nonradiological
  incidents and failures at radiation dangerous
  objects in structure of the organizations (or
  enterprises)
• Data on the personnel of radiation dangerous
  objects
• Data on other organizations rendering services
• Another .
