- catalog abstract "Metals have become some of the most recycled materials in the world. The risk of recycling radioactive contaminated materials has greatly increased. This publication presents an overview of the situation in the scrap metal industry. It provides information on a number of national and international standards, requirements, and procedures that are valuable in determining the degree of problem that has been encountered, and presents recommendations for prevention, detection, and reaction to radioactive material in scrap metal. It also offers introductory information to help the reader understand the various methods and equipment that are available to monitor for and detect radiation in metals. The publication is aimed at the persons who come into contact with a stray radiation source or radioactive contaminated material during the normal course of business. It is also aimed at the national authorities in charge of the radiation protection and of the safety and security of radioactive substances.--Publisher's description.".

The metal recycling loop -- Types of metal scrap -- Basic information on radioactivity -- The potential introduction of discrete sources in metal scrap -- The potential for contamination of scrap by radioactively contaminated material -- Present situation regarding the limitations of radioactive substances in scrap -- Responsibility in case of discovery of an orphan source or radioactively contaminated material in metal scrap -- Paucity of information -- Prevention of contamination of scrap through regulatory control: General -- Prevention of occurrence of orphan sources -- Prevention of radioactive contamination -- Materials with naturality occurring radioactive materials -- Detection and monitoring of radioactive materials in the scrap within the recycling industry. General approach -- Factors affecting detection -- General considerations when monitoring metal scrap for radioactivity -- Monitoring plans -- Fixed monitoring systems -- Portable detector systems -- Visual observation of the scrap -- Actions to respond to a detection of radioactive materials in the scrap within and outside the recycling industry. Responsibilities of the parties -- Actions to be taken when an alarm level has been exceeded -- Containment of the radioactively contaminated materials -- Personnel protection -- Decontamination -- Transportation (material transported after detection, characterization, and containment of the radioactive substances) -- Reporting -- International cooperation on orphan source issues. The need for cooperation and information exchange -- IAEA action plan related to events involving orphan sources -- Final controls on the produced metal, slag and off-gas dust. The aim of radioactivity control on products of the process -- Detection systems for radioactive contamination of products -- Conclusions and recommendations for the improvement of the system.".
