Re: Medical examination for a radiation worker



If a facility comes under the NRC, an individual is defined a rad 
worker if their projected dose is expected to exceed 1.0 mSv in the 
calendar year.This is a recent change, that occurred several years 
ago. This definition then coincides with the level of training the 
individual must have, per their license or facility Technical 
Specifications. This definition is a departure from defining a rad 
worker based on the type of work performed, leaving it solely based 
on the degree of dose expected to be received.
