preclude exposures higher than the
prescribed dose limits must be either
unavailable or impractical.
10 CFR 835.204 specifies requirements for
annual and lifetime dose from PSEs. It also
specifies requirements for determining
previous individual exposures prior to
allowing a PSE.
Every PSE must be approved in advance by
DOE and requires the informed consent of
the employee involved.
