Who primarily resolves radiation alerts during inspections?

The primary agents are the individuals specifically trained and designated to handle radiation alerts during inspections. These agents are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to assess situations that involve radiation detection, determine the significance of alerts, and take appropriate action based on established protocols.

In contrast, secondary agents often support the primary agents but do not typically have the same level of expertise in handling radiation alerts. Supervisors may oversee operations but are not necessarily the ones resolving alarms on a hands-on basis. Technicians may assist with technical aspects of radiation detection equipment but are not usually responsible for answering alerts directly during inspections. Therefore, the role of primary agents is critical in effectively managing radiation safety and ensuring compliance during inspections.
