Term Definition
Abnormal Situation Unplanned event or condition that adversely affects, potentially affects or indicates degradation in the safety, security, environmental or health protection performance
or operation of a Facility.
Activation Process of producing a radioactive material by bombardment with neutrons, protons or other nuclear particles.
Administrative Control Level A numerical dose constraint established at a level below the regulatory limits to administratively control and help reduce individual and collective dose.
Any state with which Nuclear Regulatory Commission (or the Atomic Energy Commission) has entered into an effective agreement under Subsection 274b, "Cooperation
Agreement State with States," of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, that gives the States the authority to license and inspect byproduct, source, and noncritical quantities of
special nuclear materials used or possessed within borders.
Airborne Radioactivity Radioactive material in any chemical or physical form that is dissolved, mixed, suspended, or otherwise entrained in air.
Any area where the concentration of airborne radioactivity, above natural background, exceeds or is likely to exceed 10 percent of the derived air concentration (DAC)
Airborne Radioactivity Area values. DAC values are contained in Appendices A and C of 10 CFR 20.
Alpha Radiation (energy) emitted from radioactive material. These particles consist of the same parts that make up the nucleus of a helium atom (two neutrons and two
protons). Alpha particles can be stopped by a sheet of paper or by the outer layer of skin. They can only cause damage to the body if they are inhaled or ingested.
The derived limit for the amount of radioactive material taken into the body of an adult worker by inhalation or ingestion in a year. ALI is the smaller value of intake of a
Annual Limit on Intake (ALI) given radionuclide in a year by the reference man (ICRP Publication 23) that would result in a committed effective dose equivalent of 5 rems (0.05 Sievert) or a
committed dose equivalent of 50 rems (0.5 Sievert) to any individual organ or tissue.
Area Monitor Instrument that continuously monitors and measures the levels of radiation on a "real-time" basis and has alarm capabilities at preset levels.
An approach to radiological control to manage and control exposures (individual and collective) to the work force and to the general public at levels as low as is
As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) reasonable, taking into account social, technical, economic, practical and public policy considerations. As used by Halliburton, ALARA is not a dose limit but a process
that has the objective of attaining doses as far below the applicable controlling limits as is reasonably achievable.
Audit Evaluation or appraisal of a process, program or activity to estimate its acceptability.
Radiation from:
1. Naturally occurring radioactive materials which have not been technologically enhanced;
2. Cosmic sources;
Background Radiation 3. Global fallout as it exists in the environment (such as from the testing of nuclear explosive devices);
4. Radon and its progeny in concentrations or levels existing in buildings or the environment which have not been elevated as a result of current or prior activities; and
5. Consumer products containing nominal amounts of radioactive material or producing nominal amounts of radiation.
The International System (SI) unit for activity of radioactive material. One Becquerel is that quantity of radioactive material in which one atom is transformed per second
Becquerel (Bq) or undergoes one disintegration per second.
Beta Radiation (energy) emitted from radioactive material. These particles are negatively charged and are identical to electrons. Positively charged beta particles are called
positrons. These particles can be stopped by a sheet of aluminum. Beta radiation does little or no damage to the body unless taken internally.
The determination of the kinds, quantities, or concentrations, and, in some cases, locations of radioactive material in the human body, whether by direct measurement,
Bioassay (in vivo), or by analysis and evaluation of radioactive materials excreted or removed from the human body, (in vitro).
The process of adjusting or determining either:
Calibration 1. The response or reading of an instrument relative to a standard (e.g., primary, secondary, or tertiary) or to a series of conventionally true values; or
2. The strength of a radiation source relative to a standard (e.g., primary, secondary, or tertiary) or conventionally true value.
Committed effective dose equivalent (CEDE) Is the sum of the products of the weighting factors applicable to each of the body organs or tissues that are irradiated and the committed dose equivalent to these
organs or tissues.
Company-Issued Clothing Clothing provided by the company, such as work coveralls and shoes. For radiological control purposes, company-issued clothing shall be considered the same as
personal clothing.
Containment Device Barrier such as a glovebag, glovebox or tent for inhibiting the release of radioactive material from a specific location.
Contamination Area Any area where contamination levels are greater than the values 1000 dpm/100 cm2, but less than or equal to 100,000 dpm/100 cm2.
Contamination Reduction Corridor A defined pathway though a hazardous waste site contamination reduction zone where decontamination occurs.
Contamination Survey Use of swipes or direct instrument surveys to identify and quantify radioactive material on personnel, on equipment, or in areas.
Controlled Area An area outside of restricted areas but inside the Halliburton Energy Services property boundary, to which Halliburton Energy Services can limit access
Controlled Area Any area to which access is managed in order to protect individuals from exposure to radiation and/or radioactive materials. Individuals who enter only the controlled
area without entering radiological areas are not expected to receive a total effective dose equivalent of more than 0.1 rem (0.001 Sievert) in a year.
Conventionally True Value of a Quantity The commonly accepted, best estimate of the true value of a quantity. The conventionally true value and the associated uncertainty will normally be determined by
comparison with a national or transfer standard, using a reference instrument that has been calibrated against a national or transfer standard.
Corporate Radiation Safety Committee (CRSC) Multi-disciplined forum that reviews and advises management on improving progress toward minimizing radiation exposure and radiological controls.
Advice, information exchange, and guidance provided to employees on radiologically related topics, such as dose perspectives; potential health effects from radiation
Counseling exposure; skin contaminations; contaminated wounds; internally deposited radioactivity; pregnancy; and radiation exposure. This advice and guidance is normally
provided by knowledgeable, senior professionals from the Radiological Control Organization and other organizations, such as Medical, as appropriate.
Critique Meetings of personnel involved in or knowledgeable about an event (either a success or an abnormal event) to document a chronological listing of the facts.
Is defined as a woman who is an occupational radiation worker and has voluntarily informed her employer, in writing, of her pregnancy and the estimated date of
Declared Pregnant Woman conception. The declaration remains in effect until the declared pregnant woman withdraws the declaration in writing or is no longer pregnant.
Decontamination Process of removing radioactive contamination and materials from personnel, equipment or areas.
Deep dose equivalent (DDE) Applies to external whole-body exposure, is the dose equivalent at a tissue depth of 1 cm (1000 mg/cm2).
A deposition of radioactive material in the body or any organ or tissue of an individual identified during the current reporting period, confirmed through bioassay results

geometric factors associated with the instrumentation.
Dispensability An indication of the potential for release of radioactive material.
Dosimeter A small device used to monitor occupational radiation exposure. The terms optically stimulated luminescence (OSL), personal dosimeter, personal radiation dosimeter,
may be used interchangeably throughout this section. All terms refer to the same personal monitoring equipment.
The amount of energy deposited in body tissue due to radiation exposure. Various technical terms, such as dose equivalent, effective dose equivalent and collective
dose, are used to evaluate the amount of radiation an exposed worker receives. These terms are used to describe the differing interactions of radiation with tissue as
well as to assist in the management of personnel exposure to radiation.
Some types of radiation, such as neutron and alpha, deposit their energy more densely in affected tissue than gamma radiation and thereby causing more damage to
Dose tissue. The term dose equivalent, measured in units of rem, is used to take into account this difference in tissue damage. Therefore 1 rem from gamma radiation causes
damage equivalent to 1 rem from alpha radiation. However, it takes one-twentieth as much energy from alpha radiation, as compared with gamma radiation, to
produce this 1 rem dose equivalent.
Definitions for dose terms necessary for various exposure calculations and record keeping purposes include the following:
Dose - Absorbed Dose (D) Energy absorbed by matter from ionizing radiation per unit mass of irradiated material at the place of interest in that material. The absorbed dose is expressed in units
of rad (or Gray) (1 rad = 0.01 Gray).

Dose - Committed Effective Dose Equivalent The sum of the committed dose equivalents to various tissues in the body (HT,50), each multiplied by the appropriate weighting factor (wT) - that is HE,50= wTHT,50.
(HE,50) Committed effective dose equivalent is expressed in units of rem (or Sievert).
Dose - Cumulative Total Effective Dose The sum of the total effective dose equivalents recorded for an individual for each year of employment at a NRC or State licensed site or facility, effective January 1,
Equivalent 1989.
Dose - Deep Dose Equivalent The dose equivalent derived from external radiation at a tissue depth of 1 cm in tissue.
Dose - Dose Equivalent (H) The product of the absorbed dose (D) (in rad or Gray) in tissue, a quality factor (Q), and all other modifying factors (N). Dose equivalent is expressed in units of rem (or
Sievert) (1 rem = 0.01 Sievert).
Dose - Effective Dose Equivalent (HE) The summation of the products of the dose equivalent received by
Dose - External Dose or Exposure That portion of the dose equivalent received from radiation sources outside the body (e.g., "external sources").
