Re: Special handling of individuals with lifetime dose greater than age

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

Angel,

Prior to January 1994, the occupational limits were, for an 
individual with a completed NRC Form 4, 3 rem/qtr. whole body, as 
long as the individual's PAD was < 5 (N-18) where N was the 
individual's current age.

After 1994, the only limit was the individual must be < 5 rem TEDE 
each ands every year (previous dose does not affect the individual's 
ability to receive up to the 5 rem TEDE each year) ... unless a PSE 
was imposed. However, the PSE has never been used by any US 
commercial nuclear plant, nor will it most likely ever occur.
