(3) Each individual who enters a high radiation area.
(b)
As used in this part:
(1) " Personnel monitoring equipment" means devices designed to be worn or carried by an individual for the purpose of measuring the dose received (e.g., film badges, pocket chambers, pocket dcsimeters, film rings, etc.)...
Contrary to this requirement, two individuals, one on July 9,1979 about 9 a.m., and the other on July 11, 1979 about 8:30 a.m., in the chemistry lab, wore their TLD badges below the level of the work surface on which radioactive materials were present. Measurenents indicated that, as found, their TLD badges were being exposed to less than 1/3 their whole body exposures.
B.
10 CFR 20.401 " Records of surveys, radiation monitoring and disposal" requires:
