Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 0400-20-05-.40 - RADIATION PROTECTION PROGRAMS
(1) Each licensee
and registrant shall develop, document and implement a radiation protection
program for a licensee's or registrant's activities that ensures compliance
with these standards. See Rule 0400-20-05-.131 for recordkeeping requirements
relating to these programs.
(2) The
licensee's or registrant's procedures and engineering controls shall be based
on sound radiation protection principles and shall achieve occupational doses
and doses to members of the public that are ALARA.
(3) The licensee or registrant shall
periodically (at least annually) review radiation protection program content
and implementation.
(4) To
implement the ALARA requirements of paragraph (2) of this rule and
notwithstanding the requirements in Rule 0400-20-05-.70, licensees shall
establish a constraint on air emissions of radioactive material to the
environment, excluding radon-222 and its daughters. The constraint shall ensure
that the individual member of the public likely to receive the highest dose
shall not be expected to receive a total effective dose equivalent in excess of
10 millirems (0.1 millisievert) per year from these emissions. If a licensee
exceeds this dose constraint, the licensee shall report the occurrence as
provided in Rule 0400-20-05-.143 and take prompt, appropriate corrective action
to ensure against recurrence.
