Docket No. 50-244 Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation ATTN:
Mr. Robert C. Mecredy General Manager Nuclear Pr'oduction 49 East Avenue Rochester, New York 14649 AUG I 8 1969 Gentlemen:
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 in NRC Information Notice No. 81-26, Part 3, Supplement No. 1, has been misunderstood, and was not intended to change what is 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 if your procedures have incorporated this misunderstanding.
Me have issued the enclosed memor'andum to provide clarification on the intent of Information Notice No. 81-26, and what is considered to be an extremity.
Me request that you ensure your procedures incorporate the applicable dose limits of 10 CFR Part 20.
Your cooperation with us in this matter is appreciated.
Please contact ee if you have any concerns or questions regarding this matter.
Sincerely,,
