PAC 2: Operational Radiation Safety

Program Area Committee (PAC) 2 focuses on issues related to operational radiation safety. PAC 2 is actively engaged in preparing scope statements for future projects to be submitted to sponsors for funding. Functioning within the scope of PAC 2 are three report-writing committees: SC 2-2 on Key Decision Points and Information Needed by Decision Makers in the Aftermath of a Nuclear or Radiological Terrorism Incident, SC 2-3 on Radiation Safety Issues for Image-Guided Interventional Medical Procedures, and SC 2-4 on Self-Assessment of Radiation Safety Programs.

Currently authorized but unfunded activities within this program area are:

air monitoring
operational radiation safety in medical fusion imaging procedures
design of facilities and installed equipment for handling unsealed radioactive materials
response to and investigation of radiological accidents and incidents
radiation protection guidelines for industrial accelerators and irradiators

A proposal to prepare the report on self-assessment was reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors at a meeting on December 14, 2006. PAC 2 began the preparation of this report in 2007. PAC 2 will meet on April 13, 2008 in conjunction with the 2008 Annual Meeting to review the new report.
