- 9. An indication of whether Section 3507(d), Pub, L.104-13 applies: Not applicable
- 10. Abstract: Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 19, requires licensees to advice workers on an annual basis of any radiation exposure they may have received as a result of NRC-licensed activities or when certain conditions are met. These conditions apply during terminathn of the worker's employment, at the request of a worker, former worker, or I when the worker's employer (the NRC licensee) must report radiation exposure information on the worker to the NRC. Part 19 also establishes
! requirements for instructions by licensees to individuals participating in i
+
3 licensed activities and options available to these individuals in connection with Commission inspections of licensees to ascertain compliance with the provisions of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, Title !! of the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974, and regulations, orders and licenses thereunder regarding radiological working conditions.
The worker should be informed of the radiation dose he or she receives because: (a) that information is needed by both a new employer and the individual when the employee changes jobs in the nuclear industry; (b) the individual needs to know the radiation dose received as a result of an accident or incident (if this dose is in excess of the 10 CFR Part 20 limits) so that he or she can seek counseling about future work involving radiation, medical attention, or both, as desired; and (c) since long-term exposure to radiation may be an mJverse health factor, the individual needs to know whether the accumulated dose is being controlled within NRC limits. The worker also needs to know about health risks from occupational exposure to radioactive materials or radiation, precautions or procedures to minimize exposure, worker responsibilities and options to report any licensee conditions which may lead to or cause a violation of Commission regulations, and individual radiation exposure reports which are available to him.
