What should be done if radiological conditions change unexpectedly according to the RWP?

When radiological conditions change unexpectedly, the appropriate response is to place work in a safe condition and inform others. This approach emphasizes the importance of safety and communication in a radiological environment.

Ensuring a safe condition means that any ongoing work should be halted, equipment should be secured, and personnel should be removed from potential harm's way. This action protects not only the worker but also those around them from the risks associated with altered radiological conditions. Additionally, informing others is crucial for coordinating an appropriate response and ensuring that all team members are aware of the new hazards, helping to prevent accidents and maintain a safe working environment.

In contrast, simply continuing to work while monitoring the situation could expose individuals to unforeseen risks. Likewise, evacuating without notifying anyone could lead to confusion and additional safety hazards during the evacuation process. Adjusting the RWP without proper assessment and communication can also result in ineffective measures that do not adequately address the changed conditions. Thus, the chosen response prioritizes safety and communication, both of which are essential in dealing with unexpected radiological changes.
