DOE-HDBK-1130-98
b. Limit and control levels
The DOE whole body dose equivalent limit is based on the sum of internal and
external dose.
1) DOE radiation dose equivalent limit during routine conditions is 5 rem/year.
2) Because DOE's objective is to maintain personnel radiation dose well below
the regulatory limits, the DOE Radiological Control Technical Standard
recommends a DOE administrative control level during routine conditions of
2 rem/year.
3) Facility administrative control level.
(Insert facility-specific information.)
2. Extremities
a. Definition
Extremities include the hands and arms below the elbow, and the feet and legs
below the knees.
b. Limit and control level
Extremities can withstand a much larger dose than the whole body because there
are no major blood-producing organs located here.
1) DOE radiation dose equivalent limit for extremities is 50 rem/year.
2) Facility administrative control levels.
(Insert facility-specific information.)
3. Skin and other organs
a. DOE radiation dose equivalent limit for skin and other organs is 50 rem/year.
b. Facility administrative control level
(Insert facility-specific information.)
4. Lens of the eye
