               Subpart L_Radioactive Contamination Control
 
Sec.  835.1102  Control of areas.

    (a) Appropriate controls shall be maintained and verified which 
prevent the inadvertent transfer of removable contamination to locations 
outside of radiological areas under normal operating conditions.
    (b) Any area in which contamination levels exceed the values 
specified in appendix D of this part shall be controlled in a manner 
commensurate with the physical and chemical characteristics of the 
contaminant, the radionuclides present, and the fixed and removable 
surface contamination levels.
    (c) Areas accessible to individuals where the measured total surface 
contamination levels exceed, but the removable surface contamination 
levels are less than, corresponding surface contamination values 
specified in appendix D of this part, shall be controlled as follows 
when located outside of radiological areas:
    (1) The area shall be routinely monitored to ensure the removable 
surface contamination level remains below the removable surface 
contamination values specified in appendix D of this part; and
    (2) The area shall be conspicuously marked to warn individuals of 
the contaminated status.
    (d) Individuals exiting contamination, high contamination, or 
airborne radioactivity areas shall be monitored, as appropriate, for the 
presence of surface contamination.
    (e) Protective clothing shall be required for entry to areas in 
which removable contamination exists at levels exceeding the removable 
surface contamination values specified in appendix D of this part.
