                            Subpart H_Records
 
Sec.  835.702  Individual monitoring records.

    (a) Records shall be maintained to document doses received by all 
individuals for whom monitoring was required pursuant to Sec.  835.402 
and to document doses received during planned special exposures, 
unplanned doses exceeding the monitoring thresholds of Sec.  835.402, 
and authorized emergency exposures.
    (b) The results of individual external and internal dose monitoring 
that is performed, but not required by Sec.  835.402, shall be recorded. 
Recording of non-uniform shallow dose equivalent to the skin is not 
required if the dose is less than 2 percent of the limit specified for 
the skin at Sec.  835.202(a)(4).
    (c) The records required by this section shall:
    (1) Be sufficient to evaluate compliance with subpart C of this 
part;
    (2) Be sufficient to provide dose information necessary to complete 
reports required by subpart I of this part;
    (3) Include the following quantities for external dose received 
during the year:
    (i) The effective dose equivalent from external sources of radiation 
(deep dose equivalent may be used as effective dose equivalent for 
external exposure);
    (ii) The lens of the eye dose equivalent;
    (iii) The shallow dose equivalent to the skin; and
    (iv) The shallow dose equivalent to the extremities.

    (4) Include the following information for internal dose resulting 
from intakes received during the year:
    (i) Committed effective dose equivalent;
    (ii) Committed dose equivalent to any organ or tissue of concern; 
and
    (iii) Identity of radionuclides.
    (5) Include the following quantities for the summation of the 
external and internal dose:
    (i) Total effective dose equivalent in a year;
    (ii) For any organ or tissue assigned an internal dose during the 
year, the sum of the deep dose equivalent from external exposures and 
the committed dose equivalent to that organ or tissue; and
    (iii) Cumulative total effective dose equivalent.
    (6) Include the dose equivalent to the embryo/fetus of a declared 
pregnant worker.
    (d) Documentation of all occupational doses received during the 
current year, except for doses resulting from planned special exposures 
conducted in compliance with Sec.  835.204 and emergency exposures 
authorized in accordance with Sec.  835.1302(d), shall be obtained to 
demonstrate compliance with Sec.  835.202(a). If complete records 
documenting previous occupational dose during the year cannot be 
obtained, a written estimate signed by the individual may be accepted to 
demonstrate compliance.
    (e) For radiological workers whose occupational dose is monitored in 
accordance with Sec.  835.402, reasonable efforts shall be made to 
obtain complete records of prior years occupational internal and 
external doses.
    (f) The records specified in this section that are identified with a 
specific individual shall be readily available to that individual.
    (g) Data necessary to allow future verification or reassessment of 
the recorded doses shall be recorded.
    (h) All records required by this section shall be transferred to the 
DOE upon cessation of activities at the site that could cause exposure 
to individuals.
