014.01SURVEYS. The licensee or registrant must make or cause to be made surveys of radiation levels in unrestricted areas and radioactive materials in effluents released to unrestricted areas to demonstrate compliance with the dose limits for individual members of the public in 180 NAC 4-013.014.02DEMONSTRATING COMPLIANCE. A licensee or registrant must show compliance with the annual dose limit in 180 NAC 4-013 by: (A) Demonstrating by measurement or calculation that the total effective dose equivalent to the individual likely to receive the highest dose from the licensed or registered operation does not exceed the annual dose limit; or(B) Demonstrating that: (i) The annual average concentrations of radioactive material released in gaseous and liquid effluents at the boundary of the unrestricted area do not exceed the values specified in Table II of Appendix 4-B of 180 NAC 4; and(ii) If an individual were continuously present in an unrestricted area, the dose from external sources would not exceed 0.02 mSv ( 0.002 rem) in an hour and 0.5 mSv ( 0.05 rem) in a year.014.03ADJUSTMENT OF EFFLUENT CONCENTRATION VALUES. Upon approval from the Department, the licensee or registrant may adjust the effluent concentration values in Appendix 4-B, Table II, of 180 NAC 4 for members of the public, to take into account the actual physical and chemical characteristics of the effluents, such as, aerosol size distribution, solubility, density, radioactive decay equilibrium, and chemical form.180 Neb.
