Regulatory Guide 8.7 and 10CFR20 requirements

["Sandy Perle" <sandyfl@earthlink.net>]

Regulatory Guide 8.7 defines the requirement for providing monitoring.

D. Implementation

The purpose of this section is to provide information to applicants and 
licensees regarding the NRC staff's plan for using this regulatory guide. 
Except in those cases in which an applicant proposes an acceptable 
alternative method for complying with specified portions of the 
Commission's regulations, the methods described in this guide will be 
used in the evaluation of applications for new licenses, license renewals, 
and license amendments and for evaluating compliance with 10 CFR 
20.1001-20.2401. 
As far as dose from OTHE facilities, the following defines the 
requirments:

1.1 If Monitoring Is Not Required
If this prospective evaluation shows that the individual is not likely to 
exceed 10 percent of any applicable limit, there are no recordkeeping or 
reporting requirements in regard to the individual's exposure. For 
individuals who received exposure at other facilities in the current 
year, the previous dose need not be considered in this 
prospective evaluation. Only dose that could be received at the 
facility performing the evaluation need be considered when 
determining the need for monitoring and, therefore, the 
recordkeeping and reporting requirements
