What is a Radiation Protection Program?
Each licensee shall develop, document and implement a Radiation Protection Program (RPP) to ensure they meet the requirements of Title 25 Texas Administrative Code Chapter ยง289.202, “Standards for Protection Against Radiation from Radioactive Material.” The extent of the program depends on the magnitude of the licensee’s operations and may be incorporated into your operating, safety and emergency procedures. The effort to be ALARA is no longer recommended, it is required. Each licensee shall do everything reasonable to maintain doses to workers and the public ALARA. A licensee is not required to be ALARA, but is bound to employ every reasonable practice and control to strive for ALARA.
