V. Dose limits and control levels
A. General
Dose limits provided in Subpart C of 10 CFR 835
shall not be exceeded. Administrative control
levels are established to maintain personnel
radiation exposure well below regulatory dose
limits. These levels are multitiered. Increasing
levels of authority are required to approve higher
administrative control levels. Special
consideration must be taken for radiological
workers who are approaching administrative
control levels.
B. Lifetime control levels
To administratively control a worker's lifetime
occupational radiation exposure, a lifetime
control level of N rem should be established
where N is the age of the person in years.
Special control levels (see Article 216 of RadCon
Standard) should be established for personnel
who have doses exceeding N rem.
A special control level for annual occupational
exposure shall be established for each person
with a lifetime occupational dose exceeding
N rem. The special control level should not
exceed 1 rem in a year and should allow the
person's lifetime occupational dose to approach
N rem as additional occupational exposure is
received.
