About This Item
ASTM E1167 is a technical standard guide for radiation protection program planning during decommissioning operations. It is intended to help organizations address radiation safety considerations when facilities, systems, or equipment are taken out of service and dismantled. By providing a consistent framework for program development, ASTM E1167 supports safer decision-making, clearer controls, and more reliable compliance practices during work that may involve changing radiological conditions.
Overview of ASTM E1167
The Standard Guide for Radiation Protection Program for Decommissioning Operations focuses on the radiation protection program elements that may be needed when decommissioning is underway. It is commonly used as a guide for organizing controls, planning protective measures, and coordinating work in environments where radiological hazards can remain present. ASTM E1167 is especially useful for teams that need a structured reference for maintaining worker protection and managing radiological risk throughout the decommissioning process.
Common use cases of ASTM E1167
This standard is commonly used during decommissioning planning, work execution, and radiation safety review for facilities that have handled radioactive materials or contamination. It may support radiation protection personnel, project managers, and contractors responsible for dismantling, cleanup, or equipment removal. ASTM E1167 is also relevant when developing site-specific procedures, verifying protective measures, and coordinating activities that must align with established radiation protection program goals.
Benefits of using ASTM E1167
Using ASTM E1167 can help create a more consistent approach to radiation protection during decommissioning operations. It may support compliance efforts, reduce ambiguity in planning, and improve coordination between technical teams and safety staff. The guide can also help organizations evaluate procedures more systematically, which is valuable for managing exposure-related concerns, supporting quality control, and reducing operational risk during complex decommissioning work. ASTM E1167 is a practical reference for maintaining control and accountability.
