HOT PARTICLE DDE

[Martinson Timothy I <tmartin@wpsr.com>]

Hello Radsafers
     According to NUREG/CR 6204, "Questions and  Answers" based on the 
revised 10CFR20, it is a requirement that DDE (Deep Dose Equivilant) 
associated with a hot particle exposure be assessed and added to the 
monitored DDE for demonstrating compliance with the occupational dose limit 
(ref: Question #435). Have any of you had experience with hot particles that 
produced a significant gamma exposure (eg: Cobalt 60), thus requiring a DDE 
assessment and recording in a persons exposure records ?  If so,could you 
please share your methodology for assessment and record keeping ?

Thank You in advance
