Ill. Admin. Code tit. 32, § 340.260 - Planned Special Exposures
A licensee may authorize an adult worker to receive doses in addition to, and accounted for separately from, the doses received under the limits specified in Section 340.210 of this Part, provided that each of the following conditions are satisfied:
a) The licensee authorizes
a planned special exposure only in an exceptional situation when alternatives
that might avoid the dose estimated to result from the planned special exposure
are unavailable or impractical.
b)
The management official of the licensee and employer, if the employer is not
the licensee, specifically authorize the planned special exposure, in writing,
before the exposure occurs.
c)
Before a planned special exposure, the licensee ensures that each individual
involved is:
1) Informed of the purpose of
the planned operation; and
2)
Informed of the estimated doses and associated potential risks and specific
radiation levels or other conditions that might be involved in performing the
task; and
3) Instructed in the
measures to be taken to keep the dose ALARA considering other risks that may be
present.
d) Prior to
permitting an individual to participate in a planned special exposure, the
licensee ascertains previous doses received during the lifetime of the
individual as required by Section
340.250(b)
of this Part.
e) Subject to Section
340.210(b)
of this Part, the licensee shall not authorize a planned special exposure that
would cause an individual's dose from all planned special exposures and all
doses in excess of the limits to exceed:
1)
The numerical values of any of the dose limits in Section
340.210(a)
of this Part in any year; and
2)
Five times the annual dose limits in Section
340.210(a)
of this Part during the individual's lifetime.
f) The licensee maintains records of the
conduct of a planned special exposure in accordance with Section
340.1150
of this Part and submits a written report in accordance with Section
340.1240
of this Part.
g) The licensee
records the best estimate of the dose resulting from the planned special
exposure in the individual's record and informs the individual, in writing, of
the dose within 30 days from the date of the planned special exposure. The dose
from planned special exposure need not be considered in controlling future
occupational dose of the individual pursuant to Section
340.210(a)
of this Part but shall be included in evaluations required by subsections (d)
and (e) of this Section.
