RESEARCH RESOURCES

Research Support

CAES offers a connected research environment in which researchers have seamless virtual and physical access to CAES facilities and laboratories in Idaho Falls and at the universities. This outcome relies on early initiatives streamlining key features such as access and training across facilities, for example and the development of a virtual CAES-connected campus. A connected research environment brings significant benefits to researchers, including a much broader array of leveraged capabilities that can be more readily accessed, scheduled and coordinated toward major proposals and highly sought technological advances. 

CAES Facilities

The CAES research facility houses nine laboratories, each providing a state-of-the-art environment where researchers have seamless access virtual and physical.

1. Home Institution Awareness

Before the Principal Investigator (PI) begins a detailed work planning process, CAES performs an initial screening to determine if it can support the project and provides feedback to the PI on the type of planning required. This screening assesses the projectu2019s alignment with CAES mission, the availability and capacity of CAES facilities, whether or not the projectu2019s hazards can be managed within the ISU-CAES operating envelope, and the level of rigor needed to plan and execute the proposed project work scope. To expedite screening and minimize impact on the project, the PI should contactu00a0Kristi Moser-McIntireu00a0at 208-533-8133 who will assign a CAES point-of-contact (POC).rnrnIf the PI has already established contact with the Laboratory Lead for the laboratory in which the project is planned, ask Kristi to determine if the lab lead is the appropriate POC. To request CAES Lab access, the PI downloads theu00a0Initial Screening of CAES Potential Project form, completes it with support from the POC, and submits it as an email attachment tou00a0Kristi Moser-McIntire.

Projects with Radiological Materials

rn

As part of the initial project screening, the Principal Investigator works with a CAES point-of-contact (POC)u00a0and the ISU Radiation Safety Officer (RSO)u00a0to characterize the project scope and requirements. Based on these discussions, the RSO makes a preliminary determination of whether the work can be performed in CAES.u00a0 If the RSO initially decides the work cannot be performed in CAES, the principal investigator, CAES leadership, and RSO may choose to explore alternatives ways for the work to be performed in CAES.u00a0u00a0 Alternatives could include changing the scope, types of materials, and quantities or requesting a change to ISUu2019s NRC License.u00a0 An affirmative decision by the RSO is factored into the decision made by the CAES leadership team that makes the final decision on all work performed in CAES.

rn

The types of items discussed, specific to radiological work, are shown below:

rnrn

    rn t

  • Identify radionuclide(s), activities (quantity) and chemical/physical form (i.e., powder, liquid, solid, sealed, unsealed, etc.) Describe work and types of hazards (i.e., pressure, temperature, heating, grinding, cutting, etc.)

    • rn t

  • Identify equipment (existing equipment they want to use and new equipment they want to bring into CAES that will be used in the project)

    • rn t

  • Identify containment required foru00a0 rad worku00a0 to be performed in (i.e. hood, glovebox, open bench, etc.)

    • rn t

  • Identify if air monitoring will be required based on rad work performed (i.e. air sampling, continuous air monitoring, etc.)

    • rn t

  • Working with the CAES POC and RSO assess whether the work can be performed within the operating envelope for the ISU NRC licenseu2022 Identify if there is any intent to mix radionuclides with hazardous materials thus creating mixed hazardous waste.u00a0u00a0 Working with the CAES POC, obtain preliminary approval from the RSO for the work to be performed in CAES, under the ISU license.

    • rn

rn

During the proposed project stage a preliminary decision should be made regarding the projectu2019s responsible user which is a functional requirement for each project that uses radiological materials.

3. CAES Initial Approval

After the CAES project point-of-contact has confirmed the Initial Screening of CAES Potential Project form is complete, CAES will make every effort to process the form in a timely manner. This review is performed by the CAES leadership team, the cognizant laboratory lead, and the ISU-CAES Safety Officer with input provided, as needed, by subject matter experts.

4. Create a Project Plan

rnrnWorking closely with a CAES point-of-contact (POC), PIs decide on the level of project planning documentation that is appropriate for their project. Also, the POC will familiarize the PI with the core set of hazards and mitigations that are in place for each lab, which are already accounted for and only need to be referenced in the project planning documentation. Project planning is based on a graded approach. In all instances the work planning process will systematically address the required elements of the CAES standard for work control:rnrnu2022 Activity/Task descriptionsrnu2022 Risk and controlsrnu2022 Waste generationrnu2022 Trainingrnu2022 Emergency Proceduresrnu2022 Exit StrategyrnrnIn the case of routine low-risk work that is researcher controlled, the PI is required to simply document confirmation that the performer has the skills, experience and/or training to perform the work safely using the Researcher Controlled Activity templaternrnIn other more complex cases that entail more risk, the PI is required to document work activity hazards, mitigations, and controls. A Project Plan shall be developed using the Project Plan template. Each project plan shall be approved by the principal investigatoru2019s home organization before it is submitted to CAES for review and approval.rnrnResearch Involving Radiological MaterialsrnrnProject using radioactive materials will provide a description of the rad work to be performed in the lab using the form RPR 13 and should also include, when applicable:rn

    rn t

  • A list of the radionuclides to be used in the lab, activities (quantities), chemical/physical forms (sealed, unsealed, powder, liquid, solidu2026) and ALIu2019s

    • rn t

  • Brief description of experimental objectives and methods, with justification for the specific radionuclides and quantities

    • rn t

  • Description of facilities where radiation sources will be used and stored, including rooms, fume hoods, shielding and security arrangements; include diagram of proposed layout

    • rn t

  • Description of the equipment to be used for rad work

    • rn t

  • Description of the proposed operating or handling procedures used for the safe use and exposure control of radioactive material

    • rn t

  • Description of radiation survey instruments that will be readily available for contamination and exposure control, and description of analytical instruments that will be used

    • rn t

  • Description and estimated quantities of radioactive wastes to be generated. Identify if any radioactive wastes will also contain any hazardous materials, as defined by the EPA. See the ISU Hazardous Waste Policies and Procedure Manual.

    • rn t

  • Proficiency/Training requirements for researchers and how they can be met

    • rn t

  • Demonstrate to the satisfaction of the RSO and the RSC that he or she has had sufficient training and experience in the safe use of radiation sources and knowledge of radiation instrumentation necessary to monitor those sources.

    • rn

rnNote: To accelerate the timeline for commencement of research, during the Initial Approval (Phase 1) and Create a Project Plan processes, the RSO has the discretion to grant interim approval for a project. The written interim approval describes the scope of radiological work and activities that may be performed prior to final approval of the project plan and formal approval of the project by the ISU Radiation Safety Committee.rnrnEach project that uses radiological materials must have a designated responsible user. A Responsible User (RU) is an individual authorized by the ISU Radiation Safety Committee (RSC) to acquire and use specific radiation sources, and to supervise such use by others. An individual is designated to serve as a responsible user only after they provide the RSC with a detailed plan for the proposed use of radiation sources including secure storage, safe handling, control of exposures and appropriate waste disposal methods. The RU must update such information by means of periodic revisions or renewals of the authorization request as required by the Committee. In addition, the RU is required to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the RSO and the RSC that he/she has had sufficient training and experience in the safe use of radiation sources, and must acknowledge and accept in writing responsibility for:rnrn(a) instruction in radiation protection practices for all personnel working with radiation sources and/or within facilities for which he or she is responsiblernrn(b) acquisition of equipment, supplies and services necessary for the safe use of radiation sourcesrnrn(c) security against misuse or theft of radiation sources as is consistent with established policy promulgated by the RSCrnrn(d) maintaining accurate inventory records for all radionuclides, including acquisitions, uses, transfers, records concerning disposals and records necessary for any decay estimation required. Only the TSO staff, with written approval from the RSO, may dispose of radioactive materials.rnrn(e) performing regular bioassays, exposure and/or contamination surveys and records as appropriate to the nature of the radiation use and as specified by the RSOrnrn(f) notification of the RSO of any accident, injury or abnormal incident related to radioactive materials or radiation producing machines.rnrn(g) arranging for authorization of another individual (alternate responsible user) to assume the preceding responsibilities, or to suspend or terminate all radiation uses, prior to any extended absencernrnResponsible User applicants should complete the appropriate forms and plan and submit them to the RSO. The CAES POC for a project will explain the RU application process, as needed.rnrnFor equipment operation, the level of documentation is determined by the type, complexity, hazards of operation, and nature of application. The Equipment Standard Operating Procedure template shall be used unless otherwise negotiated with your CAES point-of-contact.rnrnSubmit project planning documentation packages to your CAES POC.rnrnAdditional supporting information for INL researchers is available by clicking the following links:rnrnu2022 CAES Laboratory Research Frequently Asked Questionsrnu2022 Analysis of Form 420.15 u201cNon-DOE ISMS Infrastructure Worksheet,u201d requirements with respect to activities being performed at the Center for Advanced Energy Studies (CAES).rn

ISU-CAES Requirements

rnCAESu00a0trainingu00a0is implemented at four levels: facility, core laboratory, lab-specific, andu00a0 project-specific.u00a0 The current required training for the first three levels and unescorted laboratory access are implemented through the CAES Training and Access Management System (TAMS).rn

Home Institution Permissions

rnThe PI is to plan work in accordance with his or her home organization process, while at the same time meetingu00a0all CAES requirements.rnrn

5. Project Approval

rnrnAt a minimum, a project review team that includes the cognizant Laboratory Lead and CAES Safety Committee Chair will review each project planning package to ensure it meets the CAES work control standards. As needed, they will assemble an ad hoc safety committee to support this review process. The committee composition will be based on the type of project and hazards associated with the proposed scope of work.rnrnNote: If feasible, project review teams should work with CAES leadership to consolidate the home institution review and approval process with the CAES project review to avoid duplication of effort.rnrnBefore project startup, the PI and the project review team complete activities needed to finalize project readiness (e.g., final walkdown), personnel (e.g., training) and equipment (e.g., installation and passive testing). The expected turnaround time for review by CAES of project documentation packages is two weeks and PIs should factor this time into their schedules. Approval to start work is granted by the Laboratory Lead when theu00a0Readiness Checku00a0is completed. If the check identifies any pre-start items, it is the responsibility of the projectu2019s principal investigator to resolve all pre-start items before starting work.rnrn

6. Collocated Hazards and Off Normal Conditions

rn

Evaluate Collocated Hazards and Off Normal Condition

rn

Definitions

rnCo-located hazards: Hazards associated with a project occurring in the same laboratory, but for a different project. Personnel need to be aware so these hazards do not pose a risk to them.rnrnNote:u00a0Because many of the hazards associated with a project only present a risk to project researchers, the co-located hazards list may not be an exhaustive list of all hazards associated with a project.rnrnOff Normal Condition: A condition that is not expected in the normal /steady state execution of a project. A condition that, if observed by a non-project personnel, requires the person to take a pre-specified set of actions.rn

Responsibilities for Project Co-located Hazards and Off Normal Conditions

rn

    rn t

  • PI for a project documents co-located hazards and off normal conditions in the Laboratory Manual.

    • rn t

  • PI, Laboratory Lead, and CAES Safety Officer decide how co-located hazards and off normal conditions are communicated to personnel who have unescorted access to the Laboratory.rnNote:u00a0At a minimum, co-located hazards are communicated via a read and sign using the CAES Training/Access Control system.

    • rn t

  • Individual Contributor ensures they are familiar with all collocated hazards and off normal conditions in a Laboratory.

    • rn

rn

Process

rnAfter Project Plan approval, the PI generates a list of co-located hazards and off normal conditions and submits the list to the Laboratory Lead and CAES Safety Officer for approval and decision on how to communicate the information to Laboratory personnel with unescorted access rights. The list shall include:rn

    rn t

  • Name and description of hazard or off normal condition. The description should include enough information for a person to readily distinguish between an off-normal and normal condition. E.g., an accumulation of water on the floor versus an accumulation of water on the floor in excess of one gallon.

    • rn t

  • Actions for non-project Laboratory to take 1) to avoid risk associated with each hazard and 2) in response to an off normal condition.

    • rn

rnThe approved list of co-located hazards and off normal conditions is communicated to Laboratory personnel as prescribed by the PI, Laboratory lead and CAES Safety Officer. Completion of actions required to communicate the information is documented in the CAES document management and training system.rnrn

7. Potential Scope Change

As research is performed, the PI is responsible for assessing if a change in scope warrants a change in the projectu2019s documentation including hazard identification and mitigation. Also, the PI should determine if lessons learned during project execution warrant a change in how the work is performed; and communicate them to others in CAES.

8. Conduct Routine Inspections

The PI and Laboratory Lead are responsible for conducting routine inspections (one inspection per Lab per month) to confirm the work environment and equipment continue to function as planned to support productive and safe work. Individual contributors are encouraged to lead or participate in these inspections which are conducted using theu00a0CAES Laboratory Safety Inspection Checklist. The inspections can be used as a teaching tool for students. The results of an inspection may be a rich source of lessons learned that should be communicated to others in CAES.

9. Safety Committee Oversight

Theu00a0CAES safety committee will meet regularly and provide a forum for crosscutting safety-related issues. The committeeu2019s responsibilities include making decisions on changes to CAES ES&H and operations processes, sharing and distributing lessons learned, and providing a forum for CAES tenants to communicate ideas and concerns.

10. Project Documentation

Au00a0Laboratory Manualu00a0u00a0is maintained in each Laboratory. Electronic documentation is maintained on the CAES portal and is accessible via the CAES community. Configuration management of project documentation is the responsibility of the project PI.
