INTRODUCTION Volume 2 The Code of Federal Regulations in 10 CFR Part 19, "Notices, Instructions and Reports to Workers: Inspection and Investigations," in Section 19.12, "Instructions to Workers," requires instruction in "the health protection problems associated with exposure to radiation and/or radioactive material, in precautions or procedures to minimize exposure, and in the purposes and functions of protective devices employed." The instructions must be "commensurate with potential radiological health protection problems present in the work place." The Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC's) regulations on radiation protection are specified in lQ CFR Part 20, "Standards for Protection Against Radiation";
and Section 20.1208, "Dose to an Embryo/Fetus," requires licensees to "ensure that the dose to an embryo/fetus during the entire pregnancy, due to occupational exposure of a declared pregnant woman, does not exceed 0.5 rem (5 mSv)." Section 20.1208 also requires licensees to "make efforts to avoid substantial variation above a uniform monthly exposure rate to a declared pregnant woman." A declared pregnant woman is defined in 1 0 CFR 20.1003 as a woman who has voluntarily informed her employer, in writing, of her pregnancy and the estimated date of conception.
This regulatory guide is intended to provide information to pregnant women, and other personnel, to help them make decisions regarding radiation exposure during pregnancy.
This Regulatory Guide 8.13 supplements Regulatory Guide 8.29, "Instruction Concerning Risks from Occupational Radiation Exposure" (Ref. 1), which contains a broad discussion of the risks from exposure to ionizing radiation.
Other sections of the NRC's regulations also specify requirements for monitoring external and internal occupational dose to a declared pregnant woman. In 10 CFR 20.1502, "Conditions Requiring Individual Monitoring of External and Internal Occupational Dose," licensees are required to monitor the occupational dose to a declared pregnant woman, using an individual monitoring device, if it is likely that the declared pregnant woman will receive, from external sources, a deep dose equivalent in excess of 0.1 rem (1 mSv). According to Paragraph (e) of 10 CFR 20.2106, "Records ofIndividual Monitoring Results," the licensee must maintain records of dose to an embryo/fetus if monitoring was required, and the records of dose to the embryo/fetus must be kept with the records of dose to the declared pregnant woman. The declaration of pregnancy must be kept on file, but may be maintained separately from the dose records. The licensee must retain the required form or record until the Commission terminates each pertinent license requiring the record. The information collections in this regulatory guide are covered by the requirements of 1 0 CFR Parts 12 or 20, which were approved by the Office of Management and Budget, approval numbers 3150-0044 and 3150-0014, respectively.
The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. REV 0.0 (draft) 08/06110 12 WCREP Volume 2 B. DISCUSSION Implementation Procedure 3.3 Radiological Safety Officer As discussed in Regulatory Guide 8.29 (Ref. 1 ), exposure to any level of radiation is assumed to carry with it a certain amount of risk. In the absence of scientific certainty regarding the relationship between low dose exposure and health effects, and as a conservative assumption for radiation protection purposes, the scientific community generally assumes that any exposure to ionizing radiation may cause undesirable biological effects and that the likelihood of these effects increases as the dose increases.
At the occupational dose limit for the whole body of 5 rem (50 mSv) per year, the risk is believed to be very low. The magnitude of risk of childhood cancer following in utero exposure is uncertain in that both negative and positive studies have been reported.
The data from these studies "are consistent with a lifetime cancer risk resulting from exposure during gestation which is two to three times that for the adult" (NCRP Report No. 116, Ref. 2). The NRC has reviewed the available scientific literature and has concluded that the 0.5 rem (5 mSv) limit specified in 10 CFR 20.1208 provides an adequate margin of protection for the embryo/fetus.
This dose limit reflects the desire to limit the total lifetime risk of leukemia and other cancers associated with radiation exposure during pregnancy.
In order for a pregnant worker to take advantage of the lower exposure limit and dose monitoring provisions specified in 10 CFR Part 20, the woman must declare her pregnancy in writing to the licensee.
A form letter for declaring pregnancy is provided in this guide or the licensee may use its own form letter for declaring pregnancy.
A separate written declaration should be submitted for each pregnancy.
C. REGULATORY POSITION 1. Who Should Receive Instruction Female workers who require training under 10 CFR 19.12 should be provided with the information contained in this guide. In addition to the information contained in Regulatory Guide 8.29 (Ref. 1), this information may be included as part of the training required under 10 CFR 19.12. 2. Providing Instruction The occupational worker may be given a copy of this guide with its Appendix, an explanation of the contents of the guide, and an opportunity to ask questions and request additional information.
The information in this guide and Appendix should also be provided to any worker or supervisor who may be affected by a declaration of pregnancy or who may have to take some action in response to such a declaration.
REV 0.0 (draft) 08/06/10 13 WCREP Volume 2 Implementation Procedure 3.3 Radiological Safety Officer Classroom instruction may supplement the written information.
If the licensee provides classroom instruction, the instructor should have some knowledge of the biological effects of radiation to be able to answer questions that may go beyond the information provided in this guide. Videotaped presentations may be used for classroom instruction.
Regardless of whether the licensee provides classroom training, the licensee should give workers the opportunity to ask questions about information contained in this Regulatory Guide 8.13. The licensee may take credit for instruction that the worker has received within the past year at other licensed facilities or in other courses or training.
- 3. Licensee's Policy on Declared Pregnant Women The instruction provided should describe the licensee's specific policy on declared pregnant women, including how those policies may affect a woman's work situation.
In particular, the instruction should include a description of the licensee's policies, ifany, that may affect the declared pregnant woman's work situation after she has filed a written declaration of pregnancy consistent with 10 CFR 20.1208. The instruction should also identify who to contact for additional information as well as identify who should receive the written declaration of pregnancy.
The recipient of the woman's declaration may be identified by name (e.g., John Smith), position (e.g., immediate supervisor, the radiation safety officer), or department (e.g., the personnel department).
- 4. Duration of Lower Dose Limits for the EmbryolFetus The lower dose limit for the embryo/fetus should remain in effect until the woman withdraws the declaration in writing or the woman is no longer pregnant.
If a declaration of pregnancy is withdrawn, the dose limit for the embryo/fetus would apply only to the time from the estimated date of conception until the time the declaration is withdrawn.
If the declaration is not withdrawn, the written declaration may be considered expired one year after submission.
- 5. Substantial Variations Above a Uniform Monthly Dose Rate According to 10 CFR 20. 1208(b), "The licensee shall make efforts to avoid substantial variation above a uniform monthly exposure rate to a declared pregnant woman so as to satisfy the limit in paragraph (a) of this section," that is, 0.5 rem (5 mSv) to the embryo/fetus.
The National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) recommends a monthly equivalent dose limit of 0.05 rem (0.5 mSv) to the embryo/fetus once the pregnancy is known (Ref. 2). In view of the NCRP recommendation, any monthly dose ofless than 0.1 rem (1 mSv) may be considered as not a substantial variation above a uniform monthly dose rate and as such will not require licensee justification.
However, a monthly dose greater than 0.1 rem (1 mSv) should be justified by the licensee.
REV 0.0 (draft) 08/06/10 14 WCREP Volume 1 D. IMPLEMENTATION Implementation Procedure 3.3 Radiological Safety Officer The purpose of this section is to provide information to licensees and applicants regarding the NRC staff's plans for using this regulatory guide. Unless a licensee or an applicant proposes an acceptable alternative method for complying with the specified portions of the NRC's regulations, the methods described in this guide will be used by the NRC staff in the evaluation of instructions to workers on the radiation exposure of pregnant women.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS CONCERNING PRENATAL RADIATION EXPOSURE 1. Why am I receiving this information?
The NRC's regulations (in 10 CFR 19.12, "Instructions to Workers")
require that licensees instruct individuals working with licensed radioactive materials in radiation protection as appropriate for the situation.
The instruction below describes information that occupational workers and their supervisors should know about the radiation exposure of the embryo/fetus of pregnant women. The regulations allow a pregnant woman to decide whether she wants to formally declare her pregnancy to take advantage of lower dose limits for the embryo/fetus.
This instruction provides information to help women make an informed decision whether to declare a pregnancy.
- 2. If I become pregnant, am I required to declare my pregnancy?
No. The choice whether to declare your pregnancy is completely voluntary.
If you choose to declare your pregnancy, you must do so in writing and a lower radiation dose limit will apply to your embryo/fetus.
If you choose not to declare your pregnancy, you and your embryo/fetus will continue to be subject to the same radiation dose limits that apply to other occupational workers. 3. If I declare my pregnancy in writing, what happens? If you choose to declare your pregnancy in writing, the licensee must take measures to limit the dose to your embryo/fetus to 0.5 rem (5 millisievert) during the entire pregnancy.
This is one-tenth ofthe dose that an occupational worker may receive in a year. If you have REV 0.0 (draft) 08/06/10 15 WCREP Volume 2 Implementation Procedure 3.3 Radiological Safety Officer already received a dose exceeding 0.5 rem (5 mSv) in the period between conception and the declaration of your pregnancy, an additional dose of 0.05 rem (0.5 mSv) is allowed during the remainder of the pregnancy.
In addition, 10 CFR 20.1208, "Dose to an EmbryolFetus," requires licensees to make efforts to avoid substantial variation above a uniform monthly dose rate so that all the 0.5 rem (5 mSv) allowed dose does not occur in a short period during the pregnancy.
This may mean that, if you declare your pregnancy, the licensee may not permit you to do some of your normal job functions if those functions would have allowed you to receive more than 0.5 rem, and you may not be able to have some emergency response responsibilities.
- 4. Why do the regulations have a lower dose limit for the embryo/fetus of a declared pregnant woman than for a pregnant worker who has not declared?
A lower dose limit for the embryo/fetus of a declared pregnant woman is based on a consideration of greater sensitivity to radiation of the embryo/fetus and the involuntary nature of the exposure.
Several scientific advisory groups have recommended (References 1 and 2) that the dose to the embryo/fetus be limited to a fraction of the occupational dose limit. 5. What are the potentially harmful effects of radiation exposure to my embryo/fetus?
The occurrence and severity of health effects caused by ionizing radiation are dependent upon the type and total dose of radiation received, as well as the time period over which the exposure was received.
See Regulatory Guide 8.29, "Instruction Concerning Risks from Occupational Exposure" (Ref. 3), for more information.
The main concern is embryo/fetal susceptibility to the harmful effects of radiation such as cancer. 6. Are there any risks of genetic defects? Although radiation injury has been induced experimentally in rodents and insects, and in the experiments was transmitted and became manifest as hereditary disorders in their offspring, radiation has not been identified as a cause of such effect in humans. Therefore, the risk of genetic effects attributable to radiation exposure is speculative.
For example, no genetic effects have been documented in any of the Japanese atomic bomb survivors, their children, or their grandchildren.
- 7. What if! decide that I do not want any radiation exposure at all during my pregnancy?
You may ask your employer for a job that does not involve any exposure at all to occupational radiation dose, but your employer is not obligated to provide you with a job involving no radiation exposure.
Even if you receive no occupational exposure at all, your embryo/fetus will receive some radiation dose (on average 75 mrem (0.75 mSv)) during your pregnancy from natural background radiation.
REV 0.0 (draft) 08/06/10 16 WCREP Volume 2 Implementation Procedure 3.3 Radiological Safety Officer The NRC has reviewed the available scientific literature and concluded that the 0.5 rem (5 mSv) limit provides an adequate margin of protection for the embryo/fetus.
This dose limit reflects the desire to limit the total lifetime risk of leukemia and other cancers. If this dose limit is exceeded, the total lifetime risk of cancer to the embryo/fetus may increase incrementally.
However, the decision on what level of risk to accept is yours. More detailed information on potential risk to the embryo/fetus from radiation exposure can be found in References 2-10. 8. What effect will formally declaring my pregnancy have on my job status? Only the licensee can tell you what effect a written declaration of pregnancy will have on your job status. As part of your radiation safety training, the licensee should tell you the company's policies with respect to the job status of declared pregnant women. In addition, before you declare your pregnancy, you may want to talk to your supervisor or your radiation safety officer and ask what a declaration of pregnancy would mean specifically for you and your job status. In many cases you can continue in your present job with no change and still meet the dose limit for the embryo/fetus.
For example, most commercial power reactor workers (approximately 93%) receive, in 12 months, occupational radiation doses that are less than 0.5 rem (5 mSv) (Ref. 11). The licensee may also consider the likelihood of increased radiation exposures from accidents and abnormal events before making a decision to allow you to continue in your present job. If your current work might cause the dose to your embryo/fetus to exceed 0.5 rem (5 mSv), the licensee has various options. It is possible that the licensee can and will make a reasonable accommodation that will allow you to continue performing your current job, for example, by having another qualified employee do a small part of the job that accounts for some of your radiation exposure.
- 9. What information must I provide in my written declaration of pregnancy?
You should provide, in writing, your name, a declaration that you are pregnant, the estimated date of conception (only the month and year need be given), and the date that you give the letter to the licensee.
A form letter that you can use is included at the end of these questions and answers. You may use that letter, use a form letter the licensee has provided to you, or write your own letter. 10. To declare my pregnancy, do I have to have documented medical proof that I am pregnant?
NRC regulations do not require that you provide medical proof of your pregnancy.
However, NRC regulations do not preclude the licensee from requesting medical documentation of your pregnancy, especially if a change in your duties is necessary in order to comply with the 0.5 rem (5 mSv) dose limit. 11. Can I tell the licensee orally rather than in writing that I am pregnant?
REV 0.0 (draft) 08/06/10 17 WCREP Volume 2 Implementation Procedure 3.3 Radiological Safety Officer No. The regulations require that the declaration must be in writing. 12. If I have not declared my pregnancy in writing, but the licensee suspects that I am pregnant, do the lower dose limits apply? No. The lower dose limits for pregnant women apply only if you have declared your pregnancy in writing. The United States Supreme Court has ruled (in United Automobile Workers International Union v. Johnson Controls, Inc., 1991) that "Decisions about the welfare of future children must be left to the parents who conceive, bear, support, and raise them rather than to the employers who hire those parents" (Reference 7). The Supreme Court also ruled that your employer may not restrict you from a specific job "because of concerns about the next generation." Thus, the lower limits apply only if you choose to declare your pregnancy in writing. 13. If! am planning to become pregnant but am not yet pregnant and I inform the licensee of that in writing, do the lower dose limits apply? No. The requirement for lower limits applies only if you declare in writing that you are already pregnant.
- 14. What if I have a miscarriage or find out that I am not pregnant?
If you have declared your pregnancy in writing, you should promptly inform the licensee in writing that you are no longer pregnant.
However, if you have not formally declared your pregnancy in writing, you need not inform the licensee of your non-pregnant status. 15. How long is the lower dose limit in effect? The dose to the embryo/fetus must be limited until you withdraw your declaration in writing or you inform the licensee in writing that you are no longer pregnant.
If the declaration is not withdrawn, the written declaration may be considered expired one year after submission.
- 16. If! have declared my pregnancy in writing, can I revoke my declaration of pregnancy even if I am still pregnant?
Yes, you may. The choice is entirely yours. If you revoke your declaration of pregnancy, the lower dose limit for the embryo/fetus no longer applies. 17. What if I work under contract at a licensed facility?
The regulations state that you should formally declare your pregnancy to the licensee in writing. The licensee has the responsibility to limit the dose to the embryo/fetus.
- 18. Where can I get additional information?
REV 0.0 (draft) 08/06/10 18 WCREP Volume 2 Implementation Procedure 3.3 Radiological Safety Officer The references to this Appendix contain helpful information.
especially Reference 3, NRC's Regulatory Guide 8.29, "Instruction Concerning Risks from Occupational Radiation Exposure," for general information on radiation risks.

In accordance with the NRC's regulations at 10 CFR 20.1208, "Dose to an Embryo/Fetus," I am declaring that I am pregnant.
I believe I became pregnant in (only the month and year need be provided).
I understand the radiation dose to my embryolfetus during my entire pregnancy will not be allowed to exceed 0.5 rem (5 millisievert) (unless that dose has already been exceeded between the time of conception and submitting this letter). I also understand that meeting the lower dose limit may require a change in job or job responsibilities during my pregnancy.

This includes individuals engaged in radiological field monitoring and sampling teams, rescue of endangered or injured personnel, lifesaving activities, evacuation of affected populations and protection or prevention of property damage or loss, and personnel and vehicular monitoring and decontamination personnel.
Personnel dosimetry consists of 0-5R, 0-20R and/or 0-200R direct-reading dosimeters, electronic dosimeters and DLR's. Each county agency that was issued dosimeters will maintain a procedure for distribution of these dosimeters as well as an inventory of the equipment.
These procedures will be on file at each agency. Each emergency worker will record hislher dosimeter readings on an Emergency Worker Radiological Exposure Record (Attachment
- 8) and these records will be turned in to the Personnel Monitoring Center Manager. At the same time, the Emergency Worker's radiation badgefDLR shall be turned in for reading. If a radiological emergency occurs at the Indian Point Nuclear Power Station, emergency operations may be necessary to protect the health and safety of the public and reduce the escalation of the radiological problem. It is possible that emergency response personnel may be exposed to radiation and become contaminated performing their duties. All possible measures will be taken to limit the radiation exposure of emergency workers to those values and conditions as described below, except when specific lifesaving actions or extraordinary emergency operations are required.
Authority to exceed recommended doses shall come from the County Executive and the Commissioner of Health. During a radiological emergency, the County Director, Office of Emergency Management (CDOEM) and the County Commissioner of Health shall insure that all available resources are used to minimize the radiological exposure of emergency response personnel.
Activities associated with this responsibility include, but are not limited to, the following:
I. Insuring the issuance of available high and low range direct-reading dosimeters as appropriate to Westchester County emergency response personnel upon initiation of this plan. 2. Instructing each person performing emergency service functions inside affected areas to take dosimeter readings at 15 to 30-minute intervals.
Should an indicated exposure exceed I R, a report shall be made to the individual's immediate superior who will in tum notify the County Radiological Safety Officer. All dosimeter reading changes shall be recorded on the individuals Exposure Record Card. 3. Recording the radiological doses received by all exposed emergency workers. 4. Establishing facilities for the decontamination of emergency personnel.
REV 0.0 (draft) 08/06/10 24 WCREP Implementation Procedure 3.3 Radiological Safety Officer 5. Selecting rescue personnel for lifesaving activities utilizing the following criteria:
- a. Rescue personnel should be volunteers or professional rescue personnel.
- b. Rescue personnel should be broadly familiar with the consequences of exposure.
- c. If practical, women capable of reproduction should not take part in these actions. d. Ifpractical, volunteers above the age of 45 should be selected.
Volume 2 6. Planning lifesaving activities, whenever possible, to keep emergency personnel radiation exposures within the following guidelines:
- a. Planned dose (TEDE) to the whole body shall not exceed 25 Rems, without informed consent. b. Hands and forearms may receive an additional dose of up to 200 Rems (Le., a total of 275 Rems). 7. Selecting personnel for activities associated with the rescue of endangered or injured personnel.
The activities should be planned to keep radiation exposures within the following guidelines:
- b. Hand and foreanns may receive an additional dose of up to 100 Rems (i.e., a total of 125 Rems). 8. The supervisors of emergency workers shall record the duty times of emergency workers under their supervision and shall record (Attachment
- 8) the time each emergency worker receives exposures of lR, 3R or 5R, as recorded on a direct-reading dosimeter and the individual's Exposure Record (Attachment 2). The Westchester County Emergency Worker Duty Roster Dosimetry Issue form (Attachment

- The driver may then follow signs to the Monitoring and Decontamination Center
- Vehicles will be decontaminated at a later time, after conSUltation with state and federal authorities.
C. Personal Monitoring
- Monitoring and Decontamination Center, additional monitoring checks of your exposed skin and clothing will be performed.
You will simply walk through a detector (looks similar to the metal detectors at the airports) however this instrument is used to detect radiation and is calibrated to give a positive indication at levels only slightly above background.
- If no contamination is found you will be directed to the Reception Center area where staff will assist you with any further issues or needs (lodging, food, location of family members etc).
- NOTE: IF YOU HAVE RECENTLY UNDERGONE A MEDICAL PROCEDURE INVOLVING NUCLEAR MEDICINE, FOR EXAMPLE THYROID SCAN OR NUCLEAR CARDIAC TEST, PLEASE NOTIFY RECEPTION CENTER STAFF PRIOR TO BEING MONITORED FOR RADIATION EXPOSURE.
D. Personal Monitoring (CONTAMINATED)
- If contamination is detected, simple showering and changing clothes can remove most radioactive contamination.
- You will be directed to a Decontamination Area located in the locker room of the school's gym. There staff may perform a more detailed scanning with a held survey meter to pinpoint the location(s) and degree of this contamination and best assist you with its removal.
- You may asked to change clothing which will be provided to you, to wash your hands or shower-depending on the situation.
All are effective means of removing radioactive contamination.
- After the contamination is removed, you will be monitored again before leaving to ensure that the decontamination is complete.
You will then be directed to a reception registration station, and if additional assistance is needed to the American Red Cross Congregate Care station.

Call: Westchester County Office of Emergency Management (914)-231-1850 Draft -REV 9/07 57 Intentionally left blank Reception Center Operations IP-3.4 Form 9 NRC REGULATORY GUIDE 8.13 INSTRUCTION CONCERNING PRENATAL RADIATION EXPOSURE A. INTRODUCTION The Code of Federal Regulations in 10 CFR Part 19, "Notices, Instructions and Reports to Workers: Inspection and Investigations," in Section 19.12, "Instructions to Workers," requires instruction in "the health protection problems associated with exposure to radiation and/or radioactive material, in precautions or procedures to minimize exposure, and in the purposes and functions of protective devices employed." The instructions must be "commensurate with potential radiological health protection problems present in the work place." The Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC's) regulations on radiation protection are specified in 10 CFR Part 20, "Standards for Protection Against Radiation";
and Section 20.1208, "Dose to an Embryo/Fetus," requires licensees to "ensure that the dose to an embryo/fetus during the entire pregnancy, due to occupational exposure of a declared pregnant woman, does not exceed 0.5 rem (5 mSv)." Section 20.1208 also requires licensees to "make efforts to avoid substantial variation above a uniform monthly exposure rate to a declared pregnant woman." A declared pregnant woman is defined in 10 CFR 20.1003 as a woman who has voluntarily informed her employer, in writing, of her pregnancy and the estimated date of conception.
This regulatory guide is intended to provide information to pregnant women, and other personnel, to help them make decisions regarding radiation exposure during pregnancy.
This Regulatory Guide 8.13 supplements Regulatory Guide 8.29. "Instruction Concerning Risks from Occupational Radiation Exposure" (Ref. 1 ), which contains a broad discussion of the risks from exposure to ionizing radiation.
Other sections of the NRC's regulations also specify requirements for monitoring external and internal occupational dose to a declared pregnant woman. In 10 CFR 20.1502, "Conditions Requiring Individual Monitoring of External and Internal Occupational Dose," licensees are required to monitor the occupational dose to a declared pregnant woman, using an individual monitoring device, if it is likely that the declared pregnant woman will receive, from external sources, a deep dose equivalent in excess of 0.1 rem (1 mSv). According to Paragraph (e) of 10 CFR 20.2106, "Records of Individual Monitoring Results," the licensee must maintain records of dose to an embryo/fetus if monitoring was required, and the records of dose to the embryo/fetus must be kept with the records of dose to the declared pregnant woman. The declaration of pregnancy must be kept on file, but may be maintained separately from the dose records. The licensee must retain the required form or record until the Commission terminates each pertinent license requiring the record. The information collections in this regulatory guide are covered by the requirements of 10 CFR Parts 19 or 20, which were approved by the Office of Management and Budget, approval numbers 3150-0044 and 3150-0014, respectively.
The NRC may not conduct or Draft -REV 9/07 58 Reception Center Operations IP-3.4 sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. B. DISCUSSION As discussed in Regulatory Guide 8.29 (Ref. 1 ), exposure to any level of radiation is assumed to carry with it a certain amount of risk. In the absence of scientific certainty regarding the relationship between low dose exposure and health effects, and as a conservative assumption for radiation protection purposes, the scientific community generally assumes that any exposure to ionizing radiation may cause undesirable biological effects and that the likelihood of these effects increases as the dose increases.
At the occupational dose limit for the whole body of 5 rem (50 mSv) per year, the risk is believed to be very low. The magnitude of risk of childhood cancer following in utero exposure is uncertain in that both negative and positive studies have been reported.
The data from these studies "are consistent with a lifetime cancer risk resulting from exposure during gestation which is two to three times that for the adult" (NCRP Report No. 116, Ref. 2). The NRC has reviewed the available scientific literature and has concluded that the 0.5 rem (5 mSv) limit specified in 10 CFR 20.1208 provides an adequate margin of protection for the embryo/fetus.
This dose limit reflects the desire to limit the total lifetime risk of leukemia and other cancers associated with radiation exposure during pregnancy.
In order for a pregnant worker to take advantage of the lower exposure limit and dose monitoring provisions specified in 10 CFR Part 20, the woman must declare her pregnancy in writing to the licensee.
A form letter for declaring pregnancy is provided in this guide or the licensee may use its own form letter for declaring pregnancy.
A separate written declaration should be submitted for each pregnancy.
C. REGULATORY POSITION 1. Who Should Receive Instruction Female workers who require training under 10 CFR 19.12 should be provided with the information contained in this guide. In addition to the information contained in Regulatory Guide 8.29 (Ref. 1), this information may be included as part of the training required under 10 CFR 19.12. 2. Providing Instruction The occupational worker may be given a copy of this guide with its Appendix, an explanation of the contents of the guide, and an opportunity to ask questions and request additional information.
The information in this guide and Appendix should also be provided to any worker or supervisor who may be affected by a declaration Draft -REV 9/07 59 Reception Center Operations IP-3.4 of pregnancy or who may have to take some action in response to such a declaration.
Classroom instruction may supplement the written information.
If the licensee provides classroom instruction, the instructor should have some knowledge of the biological effects of radiation to be able to answer questions that may go beyond the information provided in this guide. Videotaped presentations may be used for classroom instruction.
Regardless of whether the licensee provides classroom training, the licensee should give workers the opportunity to ask questions about information contained in this Regulatory Guide 8.13. The licensee may take credit for instruction that the worker has received within the past year at other licensed facilities or in other courses or training.
- 3. Licensee's Policy on Declared Pregnant Women The instruction provided should describe the licensee's specific policy on declared pregnant women, including how those policies may affect a woman's work situation.
In particular, the instruction should include a description of the licensee's policies, if any, that may affect the declared pregnant woman's work situation after she has filed a written declaration of pregnancy consistent with 10 CFR 20.1208. The instruction should also identify who to contact for additional information as well as identify who should receive the written declaration of pregnancy.
The recipient of the woman's declaration may be identified by name (e.g., John Smith). position (e.g .* immediate supervisor.
the radiation safety officer).
or department (e.g .* the personnel department).
- 4. Duration of Lower Dose Limits for the Embryo/Fetus The lower dose limit for the embryo/fetus should remain in effect until the woman withdraws the declaration in writing or the woman is no longer pregnant.
If a declaration of pregnancy is withdrawn, the dose limit for the embryo/fetus would apply only to the time from the estimated date of conception until the time the declaration is withdrawn.
If the declaration is not withdrawn.
the written declaration may be considered expired one year after submission.
- 5. Substantial Variations Above a Uniform Monthly Dose Rate According to 10 CFR 20.1208(b), "The licensee shall make efforts to avoid substantial variation above a uniform monthly exposure rate to a declared pregnant woman so as to satisfy the limit in paragraph (a) of this section," that is, 0.5 rem (5 mSv) to the embryo/fetus.
The National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) recommends a monthly equivalent dose limit of 0.05 rem (0.5 mSv) to the embryo/fetus once the pregnancy is known (Ref. 2). In view of the NCRP recommendation, any monthly dose of less than 0.1 rem (1 mSv) may be considered as not a substantial variation above a uniform monthly dose rate and as such will not require licensee justification.
However, a monthly dose greater than 0.1 rem (1 mSv) should be justified by the licensee.
Draft -REV 9/07 60 Reception Center Operations IP-3.4 A. IMPLEMENTATION The purpose of this section is to provide information to licensees and applicants regarding the NRC staff's plans for using this regulatory guide. Unless a licensee or an applicant proposes an acceptable alternative method for complying with the specified portions of the NRC's regulations, the methods described in this guide will be used by the NRC staff in the evaluation of instructions to workers on the radiation exposure of pregnant women.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS CONCERNING PRENATAL RADIATION EXPOSURE 1. Why am I receiving this information?
The NRC's regulations (in 10 CFR 19.12, "Instructions to Workers")
require that licensees instruct individuals working with licensed radioactive materials in radiation protection as appropriate for the situation.
The instruction below describes information that occupational workers and their supervisors should know about the radiation exposure of the embryo/fetus of pregnant women. The regulations allow a pregnant woman to decide whether she wants to formally declare her pregnancy to take advantage of lower dose limits for the embryo/fetus.
This instruction provides information to help women make an informed decision whether to declare a pregnancy.
- 2. If I become pregnant, am I required to declare my pregnancy?
No. The choice whether to declare your pregnancy is completely voluntary.
If you choose to declare your pregnancy, you must do so in writing and a lower radiation dose limit will apply to your embryo/fetus.
If you choose not to declare your pregnancy, you and your embryo/fetus will continue to be subject to the same radiation dose limits that apply to other occupational workers. 3. If I declare my pregnancy in writing, what happens? Draft -REV 9/07 61 Reception Center Operations IP-3.4 If you choose to declare your pregnancy in writing, the licensee must take measures to limit the dose to your embryo/fetus to 0.5 rem (5 millisievert) during the entire pregnancy.
This is one-tenth of the dose that an occupational worker may receive in a year. If you have already received a dose exceeding 0.5 rem (5 mSv) in the period between conception and the declaration of your pregnancy, an additional dose of 0.05 rem (0.5 mSv) is allowed during the remainder of the pregnancy.
In addition, 10 CFR 20.1208, "Dose to an EmbryolFetus," requires licensees to make efforts to avoid substantial variation above a uniform monthly dose rate so that all the 0.5 rem (5 mSv) allowed dose does not occur in a short period during the pregnancy.
This may mean that, if you declare your pregnancy, the licensee may not permit you to do some of your normal job functions if those functions would have allowed you to receive more than 0.5 rem, and you may not be able to have some emergency response responsibilities.
- 4. Why do the regulations have a lower dose limit for the embryo/fetus of a declared pregnant woman than for a pregnant worker who has not declared?
A lower dose limit for the embryo/fetus of a declared pregnant woman is based on a consideration of greater sensitivity to radiation of the embryo/fetus and the involuntary nature of the exposure.
Several scientific advisory groups have recommended (References 1 and 2) that the dose to the embryo/fetus be limited to a fraction of the occupational dose limit. 5. What are the potentially harmful effects of radiation exposure to my embryo/fetus?
The occurrence and severity of health effects caused by ionizing radiation are dependent upon the type and total dose of radiation received, as well as the time period over which the exposure was received.
See Regulatory Guide 8.29, "Instruction Concerning Risks from Occupational Exposure" (Ref. 3), for more information.
The main concern is embryo/fetal susceptibility to the harmful effects of radiation such as cancer. 6. Are there any risks of genetiC defects? Although radiation injury has been induced experimentally in rodents and insects, and in the experiments was transmitted and became manifest as hereditary disorders in their offspring, radiation has not been identified as a cause of such effect in humans. Therefore, the risk of genetiC effects attributable to radiation exposure is speculative.
For example, no genetic effects have been documented in any of the Japanese atomic bomb survivors, their children, or their grandchildren.
- 7. What if I decide that I do not want any radiation exposure at all during my pregnancy?
You may ask your employer for a job that does not involve any exposure at all to Draft -REV 9/07 62 Reception Center Operations IP-3.4 occupational radiation dose, but your employer is not obligated to provide you with a job involving no radiation exposure.
Even if you receive no occupational exposure at aU, your embryo/fetus will receive some radiation dose (on average 75 mrem (0.75 mSv)) during your pregnancy from natural background radiation.
The NRC has reviewed the available scientific literature and concluded that the 0.5 rem (5 mSv) limit provides an adequate margin of protection for the embryo/fetus.
This dose limit reflects the desire to limit the total lifetime risk of leukemia and other cancers. If this dose limit is exceeded, the total lifetime risk of cancer to the embryo/fetus may increase incrementally:
However, the decision on what level of risk to accept is yours. More detailed information on potential risk to the embryo/fetus from radiation exposure can be found in References 2-10. 8. What effect will formally declaring my pregnancy have on my job status? Only the licensee can tell you what effect a written declaration of pregnancy will have on your job status. As part of your radiation safety training, the licensee should tell you the company's policies with respect to the job status of declared pregnant women. In addition, before you declare your pregnancy, you may want to talk to your supervisor or your radiation safety officer and ask what a declaration of pregnancy would mean specifically for you and your job status. In many cases you can continue in your present job with no change and still meet the dose limit for the embryo/fetus.
For example, most commercial power reactor workers (approximately 93%) receive, in 12 months, occupational radiation doses that are less than 0.5 rem (5 mSv) (Ref. 11). The licensee may also consider the likelihood of increased radiation exposures from accidents and abnormal events before making a decision to allow you to continue in your present job. If your current work might cause the dose to your embryo/fetus to exceed 0.5 rem (5 mSv), the licensee has various options. It is possible that the licensee can and will make a reasonable accommodation that will allow you to continue performing your current job, for example, by having another qualified employee do a small part of the job that accounts for some of your radiation exposure.
- 9. What information must I provide in my written declaration of pregnancy?
You should provide, in writing, your name, a declaration that you are pregnant, the estimated date of conception (only the month and year need be given), and the date that you give the letter to the licensee.
A form letter that you can use is included at the end of these questions and answers. You may use that letter, use a form letter the licensee has provided to you, or write your own letter. 10. To declare my pregnancy, do I have to have documented medical proof that I am pregnant?
NRC regulations do not require that you provide medical proof of your pregnancy.
Draft -REV 9/07 63 Reception Center Operations IP-3.4 However, NRC regulations do not preclude the licensee from requesting medical documentation of your pregnancy, especially if a change in your duties is necessary in order to comply with the 0.5 rem (5 mSv) dose limit. 11. Can I tell the licensee orally rather than in writing that I am pregnant?
No. The regulations require that the declaration must be in writing. 12. If I have not dec/a red my pregnancy in writing, but the licensee suspects that I am pregnant, do the lower dose limits apply? No. The lower dose limits for pregnant women apply only if you have declared your pregnancy in writing. The United States Supreme Court has ruled (in United Automobile Workers International Union v. Johnson Controls, Inc., 1991) that "Decisions about the welfare of future children must be left to the parents who conceive, bear, support, and raise them rather than to the employers who hire those parents" (Reference 7). The Supreme Court also ruled that your employer may not restrict you from a specific job "because of concerns about the next generation." Thus, the lower limits apply only if you choose to declare your pregnancy in writing. 13. If I am planning to become pregnant but am not yet pregnant and I inform the licensee of that in writing, do the lower dose limits apply? No. The requirement for lower limits applies only if you declare in writing that you are already pregnant.
- 14. What if I have a miscarriage or find out that I am not pregnant?
If you have declared your pregnancy in writing, you should promptly inform the licensee in writing that you are no longer pregnant.
However, if you have not formally declared your pregnancy in writing, you need not inform the licensee of your non-pregnant status. 15. How long is the lower dose limit in effect? The dose to the embryo/fetus must be limited until you withdraw your declaration in writing or you inform the licensee in writing that you are no longer pregnant.
If the declaration is not withdrawn, the written declaration may be considered expired one year after submission.
- 16. If I have declared my pregnancy in writing, can I revoke my declaration of pregnancy even if I am still pregnant?
Yes, you may. The choice is entirely yours. If you revoke your declaration of pregnancy, the lower dose limit for the embryo/fetus no longer applies. Draft -REV 9/07 64 Reception Center Operations IP-3.4 17. What if I work under contract at a licensed facility?
The regulations state that you should formally declare your pregnancy to the licensee in writing. The licensee has the responsibility to limit the dose to the embryo/fetus.
- 18. Where can I get additional information?
The references to this Appendix contain helpful information, especially Reference 3, NRC's Regulatory Guide 8.29, "Instruction Concerning Risks from Occupational Radiation Exposure," for general information on radiation risks. The licensee should be able to give this document to you. For information on legal aspects, see Reference 7, The Rock and the Hard Place: Employer Liability to Fertile or Pregnant Employees and Their Unborn Children--What Can the Employer Do?" which is an article in the journal Radiation Protection Management.

3.0 Concept of Operations 3.1 Westchester County has designated the DES Support Services Building, 35 Walker Road, in Valhalla as the Emergency Worker Personnel Monitoring Center (EWPMC), the facility to be used to monitor and, if necessary, decontaminate emergency workers, and their vehicles and equipment, leaving assignments in the ten mile emergency planning zone around Indian Point. 3.2 The Emergency Worker PMC will be jointly operated by the County and State. It will be available to serve both county and state emergency workers. Specific personnel position assignments will be made at the time of emergency based upon response times and availability.
3.3 The Emergency Worker Personnel Monitoring Center Supervisor will maintain communications with the County EOC to advise on issues and status of activities.
3.4AII EWPMC staff will receive dosimetry.
Everyone receives a radiation badge, formerly referred to as a thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD). The radiation badge serves as the dosimeter of legal record. In addition, personnel will either have a low range dosimeter or an individual in their general proximity may have an electronic dosimeter to provide low range dose information.
High range dosimeters are also available.
3.5 Potassium Iodide (KI) is available in storage at the PMC. However, emergency workers working in the EPZ have had KI assigned to their jurisdictions and should have taken it, if directed by the County, or in the case of State workers, the State Health Commissioner.
In the event that emergency workers do not have KI, it can be provided by EWPMC staff, after confirmation from the EOC that administration of KI is recommended for emergency workers operating within the ten mile EPZ. 3.61t is not expected that EWPMC staff will be required to take KI. KI is generally reserved for workers assigned within the ten mile EPZ. Draft -REV 9/17/09 6 Emergency Worker PMC Operations IP-3.5 However, supplies are available at the EWPMC should the County/State Health Commissioner make such a recommendation.
3.7 Portal monitors will be used to monitor emergency workers and their vehicles.
3.8 Personnel, vehicles and equipment will be monitored and , if necessary, decontaminated.
3.9EWPMC personnel are to be notified and placed on standby at an Alert. At a Site Area Emergency, EWPMC personnel report to the facility, inventory supplies and set up the facility so that it is prepared to receive personnel and perform monitoring and decontamination.
EWPMC operations should be initiated at a General Emergency classification.

Call: Westchester County Office of Emergency Management (914)-231-1850 Draft -REV 9/17/09 42 Intentionally left blank Emergency Worker PMC Operations IP-3.5 Form 9 NRC REGULATORY GUIDE 8.13 INSTRUCTION CONCERNING PRENATAL RADIATION EXPOSURE A. INTRODUCTION The Code of Federal Regulations in 10 CFR Part 19, "Notices, Instructions and Reports to Workers: Inspection and Investigations," in Section 19.12, "Instructions to Workers," requires instruction in lithe health protection problems associated with exposure to radiation and/or radioactive material, in precautions or procedures to minimize exposure, and in the purposes and functions of protective devices employed." The instructions must be "commensurate with potential radiological health protection problems present in the work place." The Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC's) regulations on radiation protection are specified in 10 CFR Part 20, "Standards for Protection Against Radiation";
and Section 20.1208, "Dose to an Embryo/Fetus," requires licensees to "ensure that the dose to an embryo/fetus during the entire pregnancy, due to occupational exposure of a declared pregnant woman, does not exceed 0.5 rem (5 mSv)." Section 20.1208 also requires licensees to "make efforts to avoid substantial variation above a uniform monthly exposure rate to a declared pregnant woman." A declared pregnant woman is defined in 10 CFR 20.1003 as a woman who has voluntarily informed her employer, in writing, of her pregnancy and the estimated date of conception.
This regulatory guide is intended to provide information to pregnant women, and other personnel, to help them make decisions regarding radiation exposure during pregnancy.
This Regulatory Guide 8.13 supplements Regulatory Guide 8.29. "Instruction Concerning Risks from Occupational Radiation Exposure" (Ref. 1 ), which contains a broad discussion of the risks from exposure to ionizing radiation.
Other sections of the NRC's regulations also specify requirements for monitoring external and internal occupational dose to a declared pregnant woman. In 10 CFR 20.1502, "Conditions Requiring Individual Monitoring of External and Internal Occupational Dose," licensees are required to monitor the occupational dose to a declared pregnant woman, using an individual monitoring device, if it is likely that the declared pregnant woman will receive, from external sources, a deep dose equivalent in excess of 0.1 rem (1 mSv). According to Paragraph (e) of 10 CFR 20.2106, "Records of Individual Monitoring Results," the licensee must maintain records of dose to an embryo/fetus if monitoring was required, and the records of dose to the embryo/fetus must be kept with the records of dose to the declared pregnant woman. The declaration of pregnancy must be kept on file, but may be maintained separately from the dose records. The licensee must retain the required form or record until the Commission terminates each pertinent license requiring the record. The information collections in this regulatory guide are covered by the requirements of 10 CFR Parts 19 or 20, which were approved by the Office of Management and Budget, approval numbers 3150-0044 and 3150-0014, respectively.
The NRC may not conduct or Draft -REV 9/17/09 43 Emergency Worker PMC Operations IP-3.5 sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMS control number. B. DISCUSSION As discussed in Regulatory Guide 8.29 (Ref. 1 ), exposure to any level of radiation is assumed to carry with it a certain amount of risk. In the absence of scientific certainty regarding the relationship between low dose exposure and health effects, and as a conservative assumption for radiation protection purposes, the scientific community generally assumes that any exposure to ionizing radiation may cause undesirable biological effects and that the likelihood of these effects increases as the dose increases.
At the occupational dose limit for the whole body of 5 rem (50 mSv) per year, the risk is believed to be very low. The magnitude of risk of childhood cancer following in utero exposure is uncertain in that both negative and positive studies have been reported.
The data from these studies "are consistent with a lifetime cancer risk resulting from exposure during gestation which is two to three times that for the adult" (NCRP Report No. 116, Ref. 2). The NRC has reviewed the available scientific literature and has concluded that the 0.5 rem (5 mSv) limit specified in 10 CFR 20.1208 provides an adequate margin of protection for the embryo/fetus.
This dose limit reflects the desire to limit the total lifetime risk of leukemia and other cancers associated with radiation exposure during pregnancy.
In order for a pregnant worker to take advantage of the lower exposure limit and dose monitoring provisions specified in 10 CFR Part 20, the woman must declare her pregnancy in writing to the licensee.
A form letter for declaring pregnancy is provided in this guide or the licensee may use its own form letter for declaring pregnancy.
A separate written declaration should be submitted for each pregnancy.
C. REGULATORY POSITION 1. Who Should Receive Instruction Female workers who require training under 10 CFR 19.12 should be provided with the information contained in this guide. In addition to the information contained in Regulatory Guide 8.29 (Ref. 1), this information may be included as part of the training required under 10 CFR 19.12. 2. Providing Instruction The occupational worker may be given a copy of this guide with its Appendix, an explanation of the contents of the guide, and an opportunity to ask questions and request additional information.
The information in this guide and Appendix should also be provided to any worker or supervisor who may be affected by a declaration Draft -REV 9/17/09 44 Emergency Worker PMC Operations IP-3.5 of pregnancy or who may have to take some action in response to such a declaration.
Classroom instruction may supplement the written information.
If the licensee provides classroom instruction, the instructor should have some knowledge of the biological effects of radiation to be able to answer questions that may go beyond the information provided in this guide. Videotaped presentations may be used for classroom instruction.
Regardless of whether the licensee provides classroom training, the licensee should give workers the opportunity to ask questions about information contained in this Regulatory Guide 8.13. The licensee may take credit for instruction that the worker has received within the past year at other licensed facilities or in other courses or training.
- 3. Licensee's Policy on Declared Pregnant Women The instruction provided should describe the licensee's speCific policy on declared pregnant women, including how those policies may affect a woman's work situation.
In particular, the instruction should include a description of the licensee's policies, if any, that may affect the declared pregnant woman's work situation after she has filed a written declaration of pregnancy consistent with 10 CFR 20.1208. The instruction should also identify who to contact for additional information as well as identify who should receive the written declaration of pregnancy.
The recipient of the woman's declaration may be identified by name (e.g., John Smith), position (e.g., immediate supervisor, the radiation safety officer), or department (e.g., the personnel department).
- 4. Duration of Lower Dose Limits for the Embryo/Fetus The lower dose limit for the embryo/fetus should remain in effect until the woman withdraws the declaration in writing or the woman is no longer pregnant.
If a declaration of pregnancy is withdrawn, the dose limit for the embryo/fetus would apply only to the time from the estimated date of conception until the time the declaration is withdrawn.
If the declaration is not withdrawn, the written declaration may be considered expired one year after submission.
- 5. Substantial Variations Above a Uniform Monthly Dose Rate According to 10 CFR 20.1208(b), liThe licensee shall make efforts to avoid substantial variation above a uniform monthly exposure rate to a declared pregnant woman so as to satiSfy the limit in paragraph (a) of this section," that is, 0.5 rem (5 mSv) to the embryo/fetus.
The National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) recommends a monthly equivalent dose limit of 0.05 rem (0.5 mSv) to the embryo/fetus once the pregnancy is known (Ref. 2). In view of the NCRP recommendation, any monthly dose of less than 0.1 rem (1 mSv) may be considered as not a substantial variation above a uniform monthly dose rate and as such will not require licensee justification.
However, a monthly dose greater than 0.1 Draft -REV 9/17/09 45 Emergency Worker PMC Operations IP-3.5 rem (1 mSv) should be justified by the licensee.
A. IMPLEMENTATION The purpose of this section is to provide information to licensees and applicants regarding the NRC staffs plans for using this regulatory guide. Unless a licensee or an applicant proposes an acceptable alternative method for complying with the specified portions of the NRC's regulations, the methods described in this guide will be used by the NRC staff in the evaluation of instructions to workers on the radiation exposure of pregnant women.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS CONCERNING PRENATAL RADIATION EXPOSURE 1. Why am I receiving this information?
The NRC's regulations (in 10 CFR 19.12, "Instructions to Workers")
require that licensees instruct individuals working with licensed radioactive materials in radiation protection as appropriate for the situation.
The instruction below describes information that occupational workers and their supervisors should know about the radiation exposure of the embryo/fetus of pregnant women. The regulations allow a pregnant woman to decide whether she wants to formally declare her pregnancy to take advantage of lower dose limits for the embryo/fetus.
This instruction provides information to help women make an informed decision whether to declare a pregnancy.
- 2. If I become pregnant, am I required to declare my pregnancy?
No. The choice whether to declare your pregnancy is completely voluntary.
If you choose to declare your pregnancy, you must do so in writing and a lower radiation dose limit will apply to your embryo/fetus.
If you choose not to declare your pregnancy, you and your embryo/fetus will continue to be subject to the same radiation dose limits that apply to other occupational workers. Draft -REV 9/17/09 46 Emergency Worker PMC Operations IP-3.5 3. If I declare my pregnancy in writing, what happens? If you choose to declare your pregnancy in writing, the licensee must take measures to limit the dose to your embryo/fetus to 0.5 rem (5 millisievert) during the entire pregnancy.
This is one-tenth of the dose that an occupational worker may receive in a year. If you have already received a dose exceeding 0.5 rem (5 mSv) in the period between conception and the declaration of your pregnancy, an additional dose of 0.05 rem (0.5 mSv) is allowed during the remainder of the pregnancy.
In addition, 10 CFR 20.1208, "Dose to an Embryo/Fetus," requires licensees to make efforts to avoid substantial variation above a uniform monthly dose rate so that all the 0.5 rem (5 mSv) allowed dose does not occur in a short period during the pregnancy.
This may mean that, if you declare your pregnancy, the licensee may not permit you to do some of your normal job functions if those functions would have allowed you to receive more than 0.5 rem, and you may not be able to have some emergency response responsibilities.
- 4. Why do the regulations have a lower dose limit for the embryo/fetus of a declared pregnant woman than for a pregnant worker who has not declared?
A lower dose limit for the embryo/fetus of a declared pregnant woman is based on a consideration of greater sensitivity to radiation of the embryo/fetus and the involuntary nature of the exposure.
Several scientific advisory groups have recommended (References 1 and 2) that the dose to the embryo/fetus be limited to a fraction of the occupational dose limit. 5. What are the potentially harmful effects of radiation exposure to my embryo/fetus?
The occurrence and severity of health effects caused by ionizing radiation are dependent upon the type and total dose of radiation received, as well as the time period over which the exposure was received.
See Regulatory Guide 8.29, "InstruCtion Concerning Risks from Occupational Exposure" (Ref. 3), for more information.
The main concern is embryo/fetal susceptibility to the harmful effects of radiation such as cancer. 6. Are there any risks of genetic defects? Although radiation injury has been induced experimentally in rodents and insects, and in the experiments was transmitted and became manifest as hereditary disorders in their offspring, radiation has not been identified as a cause of such effect in humans. Therefore, the risk of genetic effects attributable to radiation exposure is speculative.
For example, no genetic effects have been documented in any of the Japanese atomic bomb survivors, their children, or their grandchildren.
- 7. What if I decide that I do not want any radiation exposure at all during my pregnancy?
Draft -REV 9/17/09 47 Emergency Worker PMC Operations IP-3.5 You may ask your employer for a job that does not involve any exposure at all to occupational radiation dose, but your employer is not obligated to provide you with a job involving no radiation exposure.
Even if you receive no occupational exposure at all, your embryo/fetus will receive some radiation dose (on average 75 mrem (0.75 mSv>> during your pregnancy from natural background radiation.
The NRC has reviewed the available scientific literature and concluded that the 0.5 rem (5 mSv) limit provides an adequate margin of protection for the embryo/fetus.
This dose limit reflects the desire to limit the total lifetime risk of leukemia and other cancers. If this dose limit is exceeded, the total lifetime risk of cancer to the embryo/fetus may increase incrementally.
However, the decision on what level of risk to accept is yours. More detailed information on potential risk to the embryo/fetus from radiation exposure can be found in References 2-10. 8. What effect will formally declaring my pregnancy have on my job status? Only the licensee can tell you what effect a written declaration of pregnancy will have on your job status. As part of your radiation safety training, the licensee should tell you the company's policies with respect to the job status of declared pregnant women. In addition, before you declare your pregnancy, you may want to talk to your supervisor or your radiation safety officer and ask what a declaration of pregnancy would mean specifically for you and your job status. In many cases you can continue in your present job with no change and still meet the dose limit for the embryo/fetus.
For example, most commercial power reactor workers (approximately 93%) receive, in 12 months, occupational radiation doses that are less than 0.5 rem (5 mSv) (Ref. 11). The licensee may also consider the likelihood of increased radiation exposures from accidents and abnormal events before making a decision to allow you to continue in your present job. If your current work might cause the dose to your embryo/fetus to exceed 0.5 rem (5 mSv), the licensee has various options. It is possible that the licensee can and will make a reasonable accommodation that will allow you to continue performing your current job, for example, by having another qualified employee do a small part of the job that accounts for some of your radiation exposure.
- 9. What information must I provide in my written declaration of pregnancy?
You should provide, in writing, your name, a declaration that you are pregnant, the estimated date of conception (only the month and year need be given), and the date that you give the letter to the licensee.
A form letter that you can use is included at the end of these questions and answers. You may use that letter, use a form letter the licensee has provided to you, or write your own letter. 10. To declare my pregnancy, do I have to have documented medical proof that I am pregnant?
Draft -REV 9/17/09 48 Emergency Worker PMC Operations IP-3.S NRC regulations do not require that you provide medical proof of your pregnancy.
However, NRC regulations do not preclude the licensee from requesting medical documentation of your pregnancy, especially if a change in your duties is necessary in order to comply with the O.S rem (S mSv) dose limit. 11. Can I tell the licensee orally rather than in writing that I am pregnant?
No. The regulations require that the declaration must be in writing. 12. If I have not declared my pregnancy in writing, but the licensee suspects that I am pregnant, do the lower dose limits apply? No. The lower dose limits for pregnant women apply only if you have declared your pregnancy in writing. The United States Supreme Court has ruled (in United Automobile Workers International Union v. Johnson Controls, Inc., 1991) that "Decisions about the welfare of future children must be left to the parents who conceive, bear, support, and raise them rather than to the employers who hire those parents" (Reference 7). The Supreme Court also ruled that your employer may not restrict you from a specific job "because of concerns about the next generation." Thus, the lower limits apply only if you choose to declare your pregnancy in writing. 13. If I am planning to become pregnant but am not yet pregnant and I inform the licensee of that in writing, do the lower dose limits apply? No. The requirement for lower limits applies only if you declare in writing that you are already pregnant.
- 14. What if I have a miscarriage or find out that I am not pregnant?
If you have declared your pregnancy in writing, you should promptly inform the licensee in writing that you are no longer pregnant.
However, if you have not formally declared your pregnancy in writing, you need not inform the licensee of your non-pregnant status. 1S. How long is the lower dose limit in effect? The dose to the embryo/fetus must be limited until you withdraw your declaration in writing or you inform the licensee in writing that you are no longer pregnant.
If the declaration is not withdrawn, the written declaration may be considered expired one year after submission.
- 16. If I have declared my pregnancy in writing, can I revoke my declaration of pregnancy even if I am still pregnant?
Yes, you may. The choice is entirely yours. If you revoke your declaration of Draft -REV 9117/09 49 Emergency Worker PMC Operations IP-3.5 pregnancy, the lower dose limit for the embryo/fetus no longer applies. 17. What if I work under contract at a licensed facility?
The regulations state that you should formally declare your pregnancy to the licensee in writing. The licensee has the responsibility to limit the dose to the embryo/fetus.
- 18. Where can I get additional information?
The references to this Appendix contain helpful information, especially Reference 3, NRC's Regulatory Guide 8.29, "Instruction Concerning Risks from Occupational Radiation Exposure," for general information on radiation risks. The licensee should be able to give this document to you.
