Note: Calculations Concerning Multiple Sources or Multiple
				  Radionuclides
The "sum of fractions" methodology for evaluating
				  combinations of multiple sources or multiple radionuclides is to be used in
				  determining whether a location meets or exceeds the threshold and is thus
				  subject to the requirements.
I.If multiple sources of the same radionuclide
				  and/or multiple radionuclides are aggregated at a location, the sum of the
				  ratios of the total activity of each of the radionuclides shall be determined
				  to verify whether the activity at the location is less than the category 1 or
				  category 2 thresholds of Table 1, as appropriate. If the calculated sum of the
				  ratios, using the equation below, is greater than or equal to 1.0, then the
				  applicable requirements apply.
II.First determine the total activity for each
				  radionuclide from Table 1. This is done by adding the activity of each
				  individual source, material in any device, and any loose or bulk material that
				  contains the radionuclide. Then use the equation below to calculate the sum of
				  the ratios by inserting the total activity of the applicable radionuclides from
				  Table 1 in the numerator of the equation and the corresponding threshold
				  activity from Table 1 in the denominator of the equation. Calculations shall be
				  performed in metric values (i.e., TBq) and the numerator and denominator values
				  shall be in the same units.

				340.260,
				to the following dose limits:
1) An annual
				limit, which is the more limiting of:
A) The
				total effective dose equivalent being equal to 0.05 Sv (5 rem); or
B) The sum of the deep dose equivalent and
				the committed dose equivalent to any individual organ or tissue other than the

Illinois Administrative Code › Title 32 - ENERGY › Part 340 - STANDARDS FOR PROTECTION AGAINST RADIATION › Subpart C - OCCUPATIONAL DOSE LIMITS › Section 340.220 - Compliance with Requirements for Summation of External and Internal Doses

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) General
				Requirement. If the licensee is required to monitor individual occupational
				dose pursuant to both Section
				340.520(a)
				and (b) of this Part, the licensee shall
				demonstrate compliance with the dose limits by summing external and internal
				doses. If the licensee or registrant is required to monitor individual
				occupational dose only pursuant to Section
				340.520(a)
				of this Part or only pursuant to Section
				340.520(b)
				of this Part, then summation is not required to demonstrate compliance with the
				dose limits. The licensee may demonstrate compliance with the requirements for
				summation of external and internal doses pursuant to subsections (b), (c) and
				(d) of this Section. The dose equivalents for the lens of the eye, the skin and
				the extremities are not included in the summation, but are subject to separate
				limits.
b) Intake by Inhalation. If
				the only intake of radionuclides is by inhalation, the total effective dose
				equivalent limit is not exceeded if the sum of the deep dose equivalent divided
				by the total effective dose equivalent limit, and one of the following, does
				not exceed unity:
1) The sum of the fractions
				of the inhalation ALI for each radionuclide; or
2) The total number of derived air
				concentration-hours (DAC-hours) for all radionuclides divided by 2,000;
				or
3) The sum of the calculated
				committed effective dose equivalents to all significantly irradiated organs or
				tissues (T) calculated from bioassay data using biological models and expressed
				as a fraction of the annual limit. For purposes of this requirement, an organ
				or tissue is deemed to be significantly irradiated if, for that organ or
				tissue, the product of the weighting factor (wT) and the
				committed dose equivalent, HT,50, per unit intake is
				greater than ten percent of the maximum weighted value of
				HT,50 (i.e.,
				wTHT,50) per unit intake for any
				organ or tissue.
