SUBJECT:
DEFINITION OF "EXTREMITY" FOR PURPOSES OF SETTING OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS The purpose of this memorandum is to clarify the NRC's position regarding the definition of "extremity" for purposes of setting occupational exposure limits.
NRC inspections have shown that a number of licensees are using a definition of "extremity" that is contrary to the provisions of 10 CFR Part 20.101, "Radiation Dose Standards for Individuals in Restricted Areas".
This regulation specifies that "extremity" dose limits apply to the "hands and forearms; feet and ankles."
Information. provided fn NRC,Information Notice No. 81-26, Part 3, Supplement No. 1, has been misunderstood, and was not fntended to change what fs considered to be an extremity, This Information Notice discusses placement of personnel dosimeters for determining whole body doses.
Because of this apparent misunderstanding, we plan no enforcement action ff your procedures have incorporated this misunderstanding.
We have issued the enclosed memorandum to provide clarification on the fntent of Information Notice No. 81-26, and what is considered to be an extremity.
We request that you ensure your procedures incorporate the applicable dose limits of 10 CFR Part 20.
Your cooperation with us in this matter fs appreciated.
Please contact me ff you have any concerns or -questions regarding this matter.
Sincerely,
"~v'pinaf Signed By.
