    (a) Except as provided in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section, 
material and equipment in contamination areas, high contamination areas, 
and airborne radioactivity areas shall not be released to a controlled 
area if:
    (1) Removable surface contamination levels on accessible surfaces 
exceed the removable surface contamination values specified in appendix 
D of this part; or
    (2) Prior use suggests that the removable surface contamination 
levels on inaccessible surfaces are likely to exceed the removable 
surface contamination values specified in appendix D of this part.
    (b) Material and equipment exceeding the removable surface 
contamination values specified in appendix D of this part may be 
conditionally released for movement on-site from one radiological area 
for immediate placement in another radiological area only if appropriate 
monitoring is performed and appropriate controls for the movement are 
established and exercised.
    (c) Material and equipment with fixed contamination levels that 
exceed the total contamination values specified in appendix D of this 
part may be released for use in controlled areas outside of radiological 
areas only under the following conditions:
    (1) Removable surface contamination levels are below the removable 
surface contamination values specified in appendix D of this part; and
    (2) The material or equipment is routinely monitored and clearly 
marked or labeled to alert personnel of the contaminated status.
