See 4.41 for recordkeeping requirements relating to these programs.4.5.2 The licensee or registrant shall use, to the extent practical, procedures and engineering controls based upon sound radiation protection principles to achieve occupational doses and doses to members of the public that are as low as is reasonably achievable (ALARA).4.5.3 The licensee or registrant shall, at intervals not to exceed 12 months, review the radiation protection program content and implementation.4.5.4 To implement the ALARA requirements of 4.5.2 and notwithstanding the requirements in 4.14 of this part, a constraint on air emissions of radioactive material to the environment, excluding radon-222 and its decay products, shall be established by licensees, such that the individual member of the public likely to receive the highest dose will not be expected to receive a total effective dose equivalent in excess of 0.1 millisievert (10 mrem) per year from these emissions. If a licensee subject to this requirement exceeds this dose constraint, the licensee shall report such event as provided in 4.53.2 and promptly take appropriate corrective action to ensure against recurrence.Colorado Register, Vol 37, No. 14.
