Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 0400-20-05-.61 - COMPLIANCE WITH DOSE LIMITS FOR INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC
(1) The licensee or registrant shall
demonstrate compliance with the dose limits in Rule 0400-20-05-.60 by making or
causing to be made surveys of:
(a) Radiation
levels in unrestricted and restricted areas; and
(b) Radiation levels and radioactive
materials in effluents released to unrestricted areas.
(2) A licensee or registrant shall show
compliance with the annual dose limit in Rule 0400-20-05-.60 by:
(a) Demonstrating by measurement or
calculation that the individual likely to receive the highest dose from the
licensee's or registrant's operation does not receive a total effective dose
equivalent exceeding the annual dose limit; or
(b) Demonstrating that:
1. The annual average concentrations of
radioactive material released in gaseous and liquid effluents at the boundary
of the unrestricted area do not exceed the values specified in Table 2 of
Schedule RHS 8-30; and
2. If an
individual were continually present in an unrestricted area, the dose from
external sources would not exceed 0.002 rem (0.02 mSv) in an hour and 0.05 rem
(0.5 mSv) in a year.
(3) Upon approval from the Division, the
licensee may adjust the effluent concentration values in Schedule RHS 8-30,
Table 2, for members of the public, to take into account the actual physical
and chemical characteristics of the effluents (e.g., aerosol size distribution,
solubility, density, radioactive decay equilibrium, chemical form).
