Introduction
As a part of the NSLS ALARA Program, collective dose goals are established each year to serve as an indicator of performance compared to previous years' exposures to personnel. The Collective Radiation Dose Goal and the maximum individual exposure goal are based on annual historical doses and the planned activities for the NSLS. The purpose of the goals is to provide an indicator or benchmark to judge year-to-year performance. These goals should not be viewed as limits, but rather are intended to encourage improvement in radiological procedures and to support the ALARA Program at NSLS. Exceeding a goal does not constitute a non-conforming or a reportable event.
2. Radiation Dose Goals
2.1 The Collective Radiation Dose Goal for all NSLS permanent plus temporary radiation badge holders has been set at 0.75 Person-Rem whole body dose for the Calendar year.
2.2 The maximum annual exposure goal to an individual has been set at 50 mRem for the calendar year. (Note: this exposure should not be confused with or substituted for the NSLS Administrative Control Level, LS-ESH-PRM-3.2.1.)
2.3 These goals will be evaluated annually by the NSLS ALARA Committee and modified as appropriate.
