Question 46: Will determination of the "eye dose
equivalent," at a tissue depth of 300 mg/square cm, be
included in the NVLAP personnel dosimetry accreditation
program?
Answer: Not until ANSI N13.11, which defines the testing
program used in the NVLAP accreditation program, is revised
to include tests for the 300 mg/square cm depth and this
revised standard is adopted by the NVLAP program. (Note:
Requirements under the old Part 20 include the
determination of the dose to the eye at a tissue depth of
300 mg/square cm. See Instructions for Preparation of NRC
Form 5, Item 5. (Reference: 10 CFR 20.1201 (a) (2) (i))
