T.O. 33B-1-16.9.13PersonnelMonitoringRequirements.6.9.13.1Criteria.NOTEA monthly wearing period shall be implemented for thermoluminescentdosimeters issued to minors and to pregnant women.Criteria requiring individual dosimetry are defined in Title 10, Code of Federal Regulation, Parts 20 and 34,for the Air Force in AFI 48-125, and for the Army in AR 40-14 and the supporting DA Pam. Use of personnelmonitoring devices is mandatory for each individual who may be exposed to ionizing radiation during thenormal course of their duties or occupation according to the following criteria:a. Occupationally exposed adults who may reasonably be expected to receive an annualdose in excess of 500 mrem (5 mSv).b. Occupationally exposed adults entering any high or very high radiation area (regard-less of the anticipated magnitude of exposure).c. Radiographers and Radiographer’s Assistants, at all times during radiographic opera-tions, shall wear a minimum of one pocket dosimeter and/or one personal alarmingdosimeter, and one TLD badge except that for permanent radiography facilities whereother appropriate alarming or warning devices are in routine use, the wearing of analarming rate-meter is not required (10 CFR 34.33). As used here radiographerincludes radiographers’ assistant but specifically excludes occasionally exposed per-sonnel with ancillary duties outside of radiation restricted areas. Notwithstandingthe above, pocket dosimeters and personal alarming dosimeters shall not be requiredfor X-radiation operations conducted solely within shielded installations.d. Declared pregnant women who may be expected to receive a radiation dose exceeding50 mrem (500 mSv) to the whole body/fetus for the entire period of pregnancy.e. All minors who may reasonably be expected to receive an annual radiation dose inexcess of 50 mrem (500 mSv) total effective dose equivalent (TEDE) to the whole body.f. Other individuals as necessary for the effective management of the ALARA program,such as radiation safety monitors supporting unshielded radiography operations whodo not otherwise require dosimetry devices, will be provided with dosimetry devices toinclude TLDs if their radiation dose would reasonably be expected to exceed thegeneral public exposure limit of 100 mrem (1 mSV) TEDE per year.g. Individuals not meeting any of the criteria contained herein should not be enrolled inor be needlessly continued in the dosimetry program except on a case by case basis. Ifin doubt RSOs should enroll individuals in the dosimetry program for a limitedduration and base continued use of dosimetry on actual exposures received.6.9.13.2WearOfWhole-BodyDosimeters.Thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) badge used to provide a permanent record of the cumulative exposure tothe whole body must be worn on the trunk (below the shoulders and above the hips) outside of clothing on theportion or area of the body nearest the radiation source. The dosimeter window must face out from the body.6.9.13.3WearingAdditionalDosimeters.If exposure to the eyes, extremities, or skin is likely to be significantly different from whole body exposure,additional TLDs (collar, wrist, ring etc.) must be worn to document the actual exposure received by theseareas.
