DOE-HDBK-1131-98
General Employee Radiological Training
Student's Guide
a. Possible effects
Radiation dose to the embryo/fetus may increase the chances that the
child will develop conditions such as slo wer growth or mental
development or childhood cancer. These effects can also be caused
by many other hazards in our environment.
b. DOE Limits (EO2)
The risk of these effects occurring is minimized by having special
protective measures for the embryo/fe tus of a declared pregnant
women. The limit for the embryo/fetus is 500 millirem for the period
from conception to birth.
1) A worker may voluntarily notify her employer, in writing, when she
is pregnant.
2) It is the recommendation of DOE's Radiological Control Standard
that the employer provide the option for a reassignment of work
tasks to a declared pregnant worker, without loss of pay or
promotional opportunity, such that further occupational radiation
exposure is unlikely.
