(a) Every employer shall make such surveys as may be necessary for
him to comply with the provisions in this subpart. ``Survey'' means an
evaluation of the radiation hazards incident to the production, use,
release, disposal, or presence of radioactive materials or other sources
of radiation under a specific set of conditions. When appropriate, such
evaluation includes a physical survey of the location of materials and
equipment, and measurements of levels of radiation or concentrations of
radioactive material present.
(b) Every employer shall supply appropriate personnel monitoring
equipment, such as film badges, pocket chambers, pocket dosimeters, or
film rings, to, and shall require the use of such equipment by:
(1) Each employee who enters a restricted area under such
circumstances that he receives, or is likely to receive, a dose in any
calendar quarter in excess of 25 percent of the applicable value
specified in paragraph (a) of Sec. 50-204.21; and
(2) Each employee under 18 years of age who enters a restricted area
under such circumstances that he receives, or is likely to receive, a
dose in any calendar quarter in excess of 5 percent of the applicable
value specified in paragraph (a) of Sec. 50-204.21; and
(3) Each employee who enters a high radiation area.
(c) As used in this subpart:
(1) ``Personnel monitoring equipment'' means devices designed to be
worn or carried by an individual for the purpose of measuring the dose
received (e.g., film badges, pocket chambers, pocket dosimeters, film
rings, etc.);
(2) ``Radiation area'' means any area, accessible to personnel, in
which there exists radiation at such levels that a major portion of the
body could receive in any one hour a dose in excess of 5 millirem, or in
any 5 consecutive days a dose in excess of 100 millirem; and
(3) ``High radiation area'' means any area, accessible to personnel,
in which there exists radiation at such levels
that a major portion of the body could receive in any one hour a dose in
excess of 100 millirem.
