Sec. 835.1001  Design and control.

administrative control. The primary methods used shall be physical 
design features (e.g., confinement, ventilation, remote handling, and 
shielding). Administrative controls shall be employed only as 
supplemental methods to control radiation exposure.
    (b) For specific activities where use of physical design features is 
demonstrated to be impractical, administrative controls shall be used to 
maintain radiation exposures ALARA.
