Subcontractors may be issued a basic dosimeter for performance of the work under this Subcontract. Dosimeters are issued free of charge by HMIS Dosimetry.
Dosimeters will be issued for the duration of a specific Subcontract or for the current calendar year. If a Subcontract performance period extends beyond the last Friday of the current calendar year, a new dosimeter shall be obtained before that date.
1. All dosimeters shall be returned (1) within thirty (30) calendar days after the completion of the work, (2) on or before January 15 of the next calendar year, or (3) prior to final payment under the
Subcontract, whichever is earliest.
2. Dosimeters may be issued for shorter periods of time or to monitor specific locations based on the requirements of the activity. The
Subcontractor agrees to comply with approved HMIS procedures for assignment of dosimeters, wearing of dosimeters, and return of dosimeters.
I. Radiological records generated by the Subcontractor shall be submitted to the
Buyer as specified in the SOW or within 30 days of completion of work. No radiological record generated during the performance of work may be disposed of or destroyed without Buyer approval. Subcontractor may retain copies of any such records. Examples of such radiological records include radiological designs, procurements of equipment use in a radiological environment, radiological survey documentation, work documents, radiological training, and individual occupational radiation exposure records. HMIS reserves right of inspection during performance of the work.
J. Instruments not provided by the Buyer for use by the Subcontractor for radiological monitoring will be approved by the radiological control organization, calibrated, maintained, and operated in accordance with procedures that meet the Buyer program requirements.
K. Radiological personal protective clothing, including respiratory protection used for radiological purposes, provided by the Subcontractor must be approved by the
Buyer prior to use.
L. Subcontractor Radiation Protection Compliance Evaluation.
1. The requirements in this Clause apply to any product that has the potential to cause radiological harm for its intended use or radiological activity or service carried out on behalf of DOE and the
Buyer by the Subcontractor that has the potential to result in: (1) occupational exposure to ionizing radiation (as defined in 10 CFR
835.2), (2) exposure of minors and members of the public (as defined in 10 CFR 835.2) to ionizing radiation during direct on-site access at a
DOE site or facility, (3) planned special exposures (as described in 10
CFR 835.204), (4) emergency exposures (as described in 10 CFR
835.1302), and (5) exposures to the embryo/fetus of a declared pregnant worker (as defined in 10 CFR 835.2). Specific applicability exclusions include those listed in 10 CFR 835.1(b).
2. The Subcontractor shall: (1) comply with all requirements of HMIS-
OTHER-RC-5173 and (2) implement, document, and maintain implementing programs (such as administrative controls, procedures, and technical work documents) as necessary to ensure compliance with HMIS-OTHER-RC-5173. The Subcontractor's program is subject to review at all times by the Buyer. Subcontractor’s acceptance of this Subcontract provision signifies that HMIS-OTHER-RC-5173 requirements are understood and will be met.
3. When subcontracting any portion of this Subcontract, the
Subcontractor is required to invoke the requirements of HMIS-
OTHER-RC-5173 on any subcontractor which shall be involved in the performance of any of the work described in the first paragraph of this Clause. Prior to performing any radiological activity, the
