4.18.1.4 Individuals entering a high radiation area or a very high radiation area.

4.18.3 Registrants shall maintain records of the evaluation of likely external dose and the determination to monitor or not monitor individuals to demonstrate compliance with the occupational dose limits of Part 4. The registrant shall retain the record required by 4.18.3 for inspection until the Department terminates the registration requiring the record.
