Iowa Admin. Code r. 641-40.10 - Radiation protection programs
(1) Each licensee or registrant shall
develop, document, and implement a radiation protection program sufficient to
ensure compliance with the provisions of this chapter. See 40.81(136C) for
record-keeping requirements relating to these programs.
(2) The licensee or registrant shall use, to
the extent practical, procedures and engineering controls based upon sound
radiation protection principles to achieve occupational doses and public doses
that are as low as is reasonably achievable (ALARA).
(3) The licensee or registrant shall, at
intervals not to exceed 12 months, review the radiation protection program
content and implementation.
(4) To
implement the ALARA requirements of 40.10(2), and notwithstanding the
requirements in
641-40.26
(136C), a constraint on air emissions of radioactive material to the
environment, excluding radon-222 and its daughters, shall be established by
licensees such that the individual member of the public likely to receive the
highest dose will not be expected to receive a total effective dose equivalent
in excess of 10 mrem (0.1 mSv) per year from these emissions. If a licensee
subject to this requirement exceeds this dose constraint, the licensee shall
report the exceedance as provided in
641-40.97
(136C) and promptly take appropriate corrective action to ensure against
recurrence.
