Current through June, 2024
(a) The licensee
				  shall control the occupational dose to individual adults, except for planned
				  special exposures, to the following dose limits:
(1) An annual limit, which is the more
				  restrictive of:
(A) The total effective dose
				  equivalent being equal to five rems (0.05 sievert); or
(B) The sum of the deep dose equivalent and
				  the committed dose equivalent to any individual organ or tissue other than the
				  lens of the eye being equal to fifty rems (0.50 sievert).
Hawaii Administrative Rules › Title 11 - DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH › Subtitle 1 - GENERAL DEPARTMENTAL PROVISIONS › Chapter 45 - RADIATION CONTROL › Subchapter 4 - STANDARDS FOR PROTECTION AGAINST RADIATION › Section 11-45-41 - Compliance with requirements for summation of external and internal doses

Current through June, 2024
(a) If the licensee is required to monitor
				  pursuant to section 11-45-54(a) and (b), the licensee shall demonstrate
				  compliance with the dose limits by summing external and internal doses. If the
				  licensee is required to monitor only pursuant to section 11-45-54(a) or only
				  pursuant to section 11-45-54(b), 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). 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) 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 two thousand,
				  or
(3) The sum of the calculated
				  committed effective dose equivalents to all significantly irradiated organs or
				  tissues (T) calculated from bioassay data using appropriate 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 factors,
				  wT, and the committed dose equivalent,
				  HT,50, per unit intake is greater than ten percent of
				  the maximum weighted value of H50, that is,
				  wTHT,50, per unit intake for any
				  organ or tissue.
