§ 835.701  General provisions.





 
§ 835.702  Individual monitoring records.

 


  (a) Records shall be maintained to document doses received 
by all individuals for whom monitoring was required pursuant 
to § 835.402 and doses received during planned special exposures, 
accidents, and emergency conditions.
  (b) The results of individual external and internal dose measurements 
that are performed, but are not required by § 835.402, shall 
be recorded. Recording of the non-uniform shallow dose equivalent 
to the skin caused by contamination on the skin (see § 835.205) 
is not required if the dose is less than 2 percent of the limit 
specified for the skin in § 835.202(a)(4).
  (c) The records required by this section shall:
  (1) Be sufficient to evaluate compliance with § 835.202;
  (2) Be sufficient to provide dose information necessary to 
complete reports required by subpart I of this part and by Departmental 
requirements for occurrence reporting and processing;
  (3) Include the following quantities for external dose received 
during the year: 
  (i) The effective dose equivalent from external sources of 
radiation (deep dose equivalent may be used as effective dose 
equivalent for external exposure); 
  (ii) The lens of the eye dose equivalent; 
  (iii) The shallow dose equivalent to the skin; and 
  (iv) The shallow dose equivalent to the extremities. 
  (4) Include the following quantities for internal dose resulting 
from intakes received during the year: 
  (i) Committed effective dose equivalent; 
  (ii) Committed dose equivalent to any organ or tissue of concern; 
and 
  (iii) Estimated intake and identity of radionuclides. 
  (5) Include the following quantities for the summation of 
the external and internal dose: 
  (i) Total effective dose equivalent in a year; 
  (ii) For any organ or tissue assigned an internal dose during 
the year, the sum of the deep dose equivalent from external 
exposures and the committed dose equivalent to that organ or 
tissue; and 
  (iii) Cumulative total effective dose equivalent received 
from external and internal sources while employed at the site 
or facility, since January 1, 1989. 
  (6) Include the dose equivalent to the embryo/fetus of a declared 
pregnant worker. 
  (d) Documentation of all occupational exposure received during 
the current year shall be obtained when demonstrating compliance 
with § 835.202(a). In the absence of formal records of previous 
occupational exposure during the year, a written estimate signed 
by the individual may be accepted. 
  (e) Efforts shall be made to obtain records of prior years 
occupational internal and external exposure. 
  (f) The records specified in this section that are identified 
with a specific individual shall be readily available to that 
individual. 
  (g) Data necessary to allow future verification or reassessment 
of the recorded doses shall be recorded. 
  (h) All records required by this section shall be transferred 
to the DOE upon cessation of activities at the site that could 
cause exposure to individuals.
