Kan. Admin. Regs. § 28-35-217a - Conditions requiring individual monitoring of external and internal occupational dose
(a) Each licensee
or registrant shall monitor exposures from sources of radiation at levels
sufficient to demonstrate compliance with the occupational dose limits of these
regulations. At a minimum, each licensee or registrant shall monitor
occupational exposure to radiation and shall supply and require the use of
individual monitoring devices by the following:
(1) Any adult likely to receive, in one year
from sources external to the body, a dose in excess of 10 percent of the limits
specified in K.A.R. 28-35-212a ;
(2) any minor or declared pregnant woman
likely to receive, in one year from sources external to the body, a dose in
excess of 10 percent of any of the applicable limits specified in K.A.R.
28-35-213a or K.A.R. 28-35-213b ; and
(3) any individual entering a high or very
high radiation area.
(b) Except as specified in this regulation,
each personnel-monitoring device that requires processing to determine the
radiation dose and is utilized by the licensee or registrant to comply with
this regulation, with other applicable parts of these regulations, or with
conditions specified in a license or a registration shall be processed and
evaluated by a dosimetry processor accredited by the "national voluntary
laboratory accreditation program" of the national institute of standards and
technology, and approved in this accreditation process for each type of
radiation that most closely approximates each type of radiation for which the
individual wearing the dosimeter is monitored.
(c) The requirements of subsection (b) in
this regulation shall not apply to personnel-monitoring devices used to measure
the dose to hands and forearms or to feet and ankles.
(d) To determine compliance with K.A.R.
28-35-212d, each licensee or registrant shall monitor the occupational intake
of radioactive material by and assess the committed effective dose equivalent
to the following:
(1) Any adult likely to
receive, in one year, an intake in excess of 10 percent of the applicable ALI
in appendix B, table I, columns 1 and 2 in "appendices to part 4: standards for
protection against radiation," as adopted in K.A.R. 28-35-135a ; and
(2) any minor or declared pregnant woman
likely to receive, in one year, a committed effective dose equivalent in excess
of 0.50 mSv (0.05 rem).
