Re: Medical examination for a radiation worker
What is the source of this definition? 10 CFR 19.3 states that, "Worker
means
an individual engaged in activities licensed by the Commission and
controlled
by a licensee..." 10 CFR 20.1003 states that, "Occupational dose means the
dose received by an individual in the course of employment in which the
individual's assigned duties involve exposure to radiation or to radioactive
material from licensed and unlicensed sources of radiation, whether in the
possession of the licensee or other person..." Neither of these sets a dose
threshold.
The opinions expressed are strictly mine.
It's not about dose, it's about trust.

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.
