[ RadSafe ] 10CFR20 question

[Scott Davidson]

If the license does not require shallow dose monitoring (in the application and reflected in the tie down clause) of the license the licensee is required to be able to demonstrate compliance with that limit but there is no monitoring required threshold for (adult) shallow dose similar to the specific requirement for individuals likely to exceed 10% of the adult whole body dose limit. Various regulatory guides will say what is acceptable to the staff when they review your program and if you buy into/commit to the RG then that is a license condition and enforceable under 30.34, I believe.
