[ RadSafe ] Re: Electronic dosimeter as dose of record

[Neill Stanford]

Sandy, do I understand you correctly? To use an electronic dosimeter as dose
of record (primary dosimeter) there is no requirement for NVLAP
accreditation? I remember that there were some issues with requiring
accreditation to assign a dose from an ED (similar to using survey data to
estimate a dose in the case of a lost primary dosimeter), but I am talking
here specifically about using an ED as the primary device. As an example -
issue an ED only, nothing else. 

Thanks,

NRC exempts ED. NRC on record ED ok for dose of record. My Petition for
Rulemaking would have fixed to some degree. It was denied.

Sandy I was sceptical but looking over part 20 it does exempt direct and
indirect reading pocket ionization chambers from the NVLAP accreditation.  I
suppose if you could show that the device had the sensitivity and
dependability needed it could be used for dose reporting.  I know when I
worked for Oregon they would not allow pocket ion chambers to be used for
dose reporting.  I suppose one would have to look into state rules in
addition to NRC's.
