[External_Sender] Re: Response to inquiry
Dear Mr. Dricks,
Thank you for the prompt reply. To clarify my question about radiation workers: Are the radiation workers at SONGS required to wear equipment (i.e. badges, or other devices) that measure the amount of ionizing radiation the worker has absorbed? YES
Finally, can you point me to documents or search terms that I could use on the NRC Web site to understand how cumulative radiation doses for nuclear workers are measured and regulated by NRC?
Adults working with radioactive material must be protected so that they do not receive more than 5 rems (5,000 millirems) per year. The links below will get you to the Radiation Protection web page that covers a variety of subjects and frequently asked RP questions:
