Question 83: If a worker who has been exposed to internal
sources under Department of Energy Order 5480.11 comes to
work at an NRC-licensed facility, will the worker's
committed and committed effective dose equivalents need to
be calculated for a fifty-year period by the licensee? DOE
Order 5480.11 only requires a one-year dose commitment
calculation.
Answer: See answer to Question 76. DOE Order 5480.11
requires DOE facilities to generate and maintain records of
occupational dose including (a) committed effective dose
equivalent and (b) committed dose equivalent to organ or
tissues of concern, in addition to records of (c) annual
effective dose equivalent and (d) annual dose equivalent to
organ or tissue of concern. (Reference: 10 CFR 20.1204, 10
CFR 20.2104, DOE Order 5480.11)
