[ RadSafe ] 10 CFR 19.13(b)

[Pedersen, Roger]

Sandy, et. al.,

I apologize for responding to this thread so late but let me try to add some clarity to these 10 CFR 19.13(b) requirements.  First let's start with 10 CFR 20.1502 which requires that NRC licensees provide individual monitoring under certain conditions.  Once it is determined that monitoring an individual is required, 10 CFR 20.2106 requires that the licensee maintain records of the monitoring results.  What may be causing some confusion is that 10 CFR 19.13(b) actually contains two requirements.  The first sentence requires NRC licensees to make the individual's dose records (as maintained by the licensee under 10 CFR 20.2106) available to the individual, on-site or otherwise.  Secondly, that the licensee provide an annual report to each individual required to be monitored by 10 CFR 20.1502, if the criteria in (b)(1) or (b)(2) are met.

To answer the original question, yes it dose apply to former workers.  10 CFR 19.13(b) applies to "each individual monitored" in that year, whether they are a current employee or not.

For those not familiar with the regulation, here is the specific section Dan referred to:

(b) Each licensee shall make dose information available to workers as shown in records maintained by the licensee under the provisions of 10 CFR 20.2106. The licensee shall provide an annual report to each individual monitored under 10 CFR 20.1502 of the dose received in that monitoring year if:

(1) The individual's occupational dose exceeds 1 mSv (100 mrem) TEDE or 1 mSv (100 mrem) to any individual organ or tissue; or

(2) The individual requests his or her annual dose report.

Hello RadSafers.  I am curious how folks out there are interpreting the
subject regulation.  Specifically, does it apply to former workers or
only active workers?

Thanks for any feedback.
