  1. Some Potential Issues for Consideration on Monitoring of Radiologically Contaminated Scrap Meal See informal document No. 4 (2004) A presentation to the Group of Experts on Monitoring of Radiologically Contaminated Scrap Metal Geneva, Switzerland 5-7 April 2004 UNECE secretariat

  2. Regulatory Infrastructure • Issue 1 (Q RI 3) – Adoption of the IAEA Code of Conduct for the Safety and Security of Radioactive Sources Potential Scrap Metal Issues

  3. Regulatory Infrastructure Detailedresponsesshowwide range ofstandards used • Issue 2 (Q RI 6) – Potential need to globally standardize levels below which materials are exempted from control Potential Scrap Metal Issues

  4. Regulatory Infrastructure May needto reassesssince onlyfocussed onnuclear andnot radioactivematerialfacilities • Issue 3 (Q RI 7) – Release of materials from facilities Potential Scrap Metal Issues

  5. Monitoring • Issue 4 (Q M 2) – Release of materials from facilities – need to establish stronger regime for monitoring imported or exported scrap metals Potential Scrap Metal Issues

  6. Monitoring Disparityin where (and if) monitoringoccur (Q M 3) wasnot a “yes”or “no”question. • Issue 5 (Q M 3) – Location in distribution chain where scrap metals should be monitored Potential Scrap Metal Issues

  7. Monitoring Also, seeQ M 4throughQ M 7 and Q M 9 throughQ M 12 • Issue 6 (Q M 8, 13 and 14) – Potential need to globally standardize many aspects of the monitoring of metal products Potential Scrap Metal Issues

  8. Dispostioning • Issue 7 (Q D 2) – Arrangement for disposal facility or return to manufacturer program Potential Scrap Metal Issues

  9. Dispositioning If material isradioactivematerial perdefinition of IAEA TS-R-1, thentransport according toTS-R-1 • Issue 8 (Q D 5 & 6) – Potential need to globally acknowledge that protocols (standards) already exist for transport of detected radioactive materials Potential Scrap Metal Issues

  10. Contractual • Issue 9 (Q C 2 through 5) – Potential need to consider strengthening contractual requirements on the acquisition of scrap metal Potential Scrap Metal Issues

  11. Reporting • Issue 10 (Q R 1, 2, 4 & 6) – Potential need to consider standardizing and strengthening reporting and investigating procedures Potential Scrap Metal Issues

  12. Experience About 60 percent of responders to the questionnaire provided insights into experience • Potential need to develop mechanism for exchanging information on practices and lessons learned in the area of Monitoring of Radiologically Contaminated Scrap Metal Potential Scrap Metal Issues
