Module 3: Radiation Limits and Administrative Control Levels
Instructor's Notes
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
c.
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
a.
DOE radiation dose equivalent limit for lens of the eye is
15 rem/year.
b.
Facility administrative control level.
(Insert facility-specific information.)
