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
a.
DOE radiation dose equivalent limit for lens of the eye is 15 rem/year .
b.
Facility administrative control level.
(Insert facility-specific information.)
5.
Declared pregnant worker: Embryo/fetus
After a female worker voluntarily notifies her employer in writing that she is pregnant,
she is considered a declared pregnant worker. For the purposes of radiological protection
of the fetus/embryo, DOE requires a special limit for dose to the fetus/embryo. In
