NUREG-1537, Part 2 - NRC

the dosimetry program and the determination of exposure levels, and the
standards for the issuance and the accuracy of self-reading personal
dosimeters. Applicable and adequate methods should be used for
determining internal doses.
The applicant should maintain records to establish the conditions under
which individuals were exposed to radiation, including the historical and
current exposures to personnel and any associated trends (both individual
and facility). Methods of maintaining records should be established to
assist in planning radiation-related activities, implementing the ALARA
program, reporting to appropriate regulatory agencies, and meeting the
requirements of 10 CFR Part 20.
Review Procedures
The reviewer should examine the facility exposure control and dosimetry programs
for both external exposures and internal exposures to facility personnel, the
environm (if measured), and the public to confirm that plans and the bases of
procedures for the control of external dose to workers and the public consider the
following:
* equipment and equipment design
* shielding
* radiation monitors and alarms
* personnel protective equipment
* the dosimetry used for external radiation monitoring, including the
frequency of dosimeter readings, action levels, and the suitability of the
dosimetry chosen with respect to the radiation sources expected and
observed at the facility
The reviewer should also verify that procedures for the control of internal
exposure consider the fbIlowing:
* equipment and equipment design
* engineered controls such as containment/confinement or ventilation
systems
* personnel protective equipment
