INTERNAL DOSIMETRY PROGRAM
1. PURPOSE AND APPLICABILITY
This Guide provides an acceptable methodology for establishing and operating an internal
dosimetry program that will comply with U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) requirements
specified in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 835, Occupational Radiation
Protection (DOE 1998a); hereinafter referred to as 10 CFR 835. In particular, this Guide
provides guidance for achieving compliance with subpart E, paragraphs 402(c) and 402(d) of
10 CFR 835 for the establishment, operation, and accreditation of bioassay programs. For
completeness, this Guide also identifies applicable recommendations provided in DOE-STD-
1121-98, Internal Dosimetry (DOE 1998b), and recommendations contained in secondary
documents (American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Standards, etc.).
This Guide amplifies the regulatory requirements of 10 CFR 835 and provides guidance for the
structure, function, and operations of an internal dosimetry program. The criteria for internal
dosimetry programs to serve epidemiology, risk assessment, and litigation are not within the
scope of this Guide. The requirements of 10 CFR 835 are enforceable under the provisions of
Sections 223(c) and 234A of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (AEC 1954).
Except for requirements established by a regulation, a contract, or by administrative means, the
provisions in this Guide are DOE's views on acceptable methods of program implementation and
are not mandatory. Conformance with this Guide, however, will create an inference of
compliance with the related regulatory requirements. Alternate methods that are demonstrated to
provide an equivalent or better level of protection are acceptable. Where alternate methods are
used, DOE expects these methods to be fully documented in the supporting technical basis
document. Contractors are encouraged to go beyond the minimum requirements and to pursue
excellence in their programs.
Section 3
The word "shall" is used in this Guide to designate requirements from 10 CFR 835. Compliance
with 10 CFR 835 is mandatory except to the extent an exemption has been granted pursuant to
10 CFR 820, Procedural Rules for DOE Nuclear Activities (DOE 1997a). The words "should"
and "may" are used to represent optional program recommendations and allowable alternatives,
respectively.
This Guide is applicable to all DOE activities that are subject to the requirements of 10 CFR 835.

2. DEFINITIONS
Terms defined in 10 CFR 835 are used in this Guide consistent with their regulatory definitions.
Alpha (α): The probability (not to be confused with an alpha particle) of a Type I error or false
positive. Also called the false positive probability.
Analyte: The particular radionuclide to be determined in a sample of interest.
Baseline bioassay: An appropriate bioassay measurement obtained from a radiobioassay
program participant prior to beginning or resuming work with radioactive material.
Beta (β): The probability (not to be confused with a beta particle) of a Type II error or false
negative. Also called the non-detection probability.
Confirmed intake: An intake confirmed by follow-up radiobioassay, by association with a
known incident, or by investigation.
Decision level (Lc): The amount of a count (Lc or L′c) as final instrument measurement of a
quantity of analyte (Dc or D′c) at or above which a decision is made that the analyte is definitely
present.
Derived investigation level (DIL): A value of a radiobioassay or air monitoring measurement
that indicates an intake resulting in a dose exceeding an Investigation Level (IL).
Direct (in vivo) radiobioassay: The measurement of radioactive material in the human body
utilizing instrumentation that detects radiation emitted from the radioactive material in the body.
DOELAP: The Department of Energy Laboratory Accreditation Program. This program
defines a set of reference performance tests and provides a description of the minimum levels of
acceptable performance for personnel dosimetry systems and radiobioassay programs under
DOE STD-1112-98, The Department of Energy Laboratory Accreditation Program for
Radiobioassay (DOE 1998c).
Elimination: The biological removal of a radionuclide from the body by excretion, perspiration,
exhalation, secretion (e.g., breast milk), exfoliation (sloughing of dead tissue), or excision.
Evaluation: The process of arriving at a value for intake or dose that uses, among other inputs,
measurement results.
Excretion: The biological removal of a radionuclide from the body via one or more excretion
pathways: urine and feces.
Exposure: The general condition of being subjected to ionizing radiation, such as by exposure
to ionizing radiation from external sources or to ionizing radiation sources inside the body. In
CANCELE
D
DOE G 441.1-3A 3
6-11-05
this document, exposure does not refer to the radiological physics concept of charge liberated per
unit mass of air.
False negative: A Type II (β) error, that is, concluding that analyte is not present when in fact it
is.
False positive: A Type I (α) error concluding that there is analyte present when it is not.
Indirect (in vitro) radiobioassay: The measurement or analysis of radionuclides in excreta or
other biological samples removed from the body.
Section 4
Intake: The amount of radionuclide taken into the body by inhalation, absorption through intact
skin, injection, ingestion, or through wounds. Depending on the radionuclide involved, intakes
may be reported in mass (e.g., μg, mg), activity (e.g., μCi, Bq), or potential alpha energy (e.g.,
MeV, J) units.
Investigation level (IL): The value of the committed effective dose equivalent from an intake(s)
of a radioactive material by a worker at or above which, for regulatory purposes, is regarded as
sufficiently important to justify further investigation.
Minimum detectable amount (MDA): The smallest amount (activity or mass) of an analyte in
a sample that will be detected with a probability, β, of non-detection (Type II error) while
accepting a probability, α, of erroneously deciding that a positive (non-zero) quantity of analyte
is present in an appropriate blank sample (Type I error). The MDA is computed using the same
value of α as used for the Lc. The MDA depends on both α and β. Measurement results are
compared to the Lc, not the MDA; the MDA is used to determine whether a program has adequate
detection capability. The MDA will be greater than or equal to the Lc.
Radon: Unless otherwise specified, the isotope 222Rn.
Retention: The amount of material which, after being taken into the body by inhalation,
ingestion, entry through an open wound, or absorption through the skin, exists in the whole body,
a compartment, an organ, or a tissue at a specified time.
Routine radiobioassay monitoring: Any radiobioassay measurement made on a predetermined,
periodic schedule, to establish whether a worker has had any intake of radioactive material since
previous radiobioassay measurements.
Special radiobioassay monitoring: Any radiobioassay measurement that is required for
confirmation of a suspected intake of radionuclides, or is required for follow-up evaluation of
confirmed intakes.
State-of-the-art: The most advanced technology that is commercially available and successfully
field tested.
CANCELE
D
4 DOE G 441.1-3A
6-11-05
Technology shortfall: A technology shortfall for routine radiobioassay exists when the derived
investigation level (DIL) for a well-designed and appropriate routine radiobioassay program,
using current or state-of-the-art methods and equipment, is less than the minimum detectable
amount/activity of the routine monitoring method (e.g., the DIL is less than the MDA).
Termination radiobioassay: A radiobioassay measurement performed for the purpose of
documenting the retention of radioactive materials in the body due to occupational exposure
either upon termination of employment or upon the cessation of potential exposure to a specific
nuclide.
Thoron: Unless otherwise specified, the isotope 220Rn.
Type I error: Incorrectly concluding from a result that there is analyte present; the probability
(α) of a Type I error is usually taken as 0.05. The decision level is determined on the basis of an
acceptable level of Type I errors.
Type II error: Incorrectly concluding from a result that there is no analyte present; its
probability (β) is usually taken as 0.05.

3. DISCUSSION
Section 5
Radiation protection programs for limiting intakes of radioactive material are based on the DOE
policy of controlling radioactive material at the source. It is nonetheless recognized that low-
level, chronic, or intermittent occupational exposures to some materials may be difficult to avoid
due to the types of material handled or processed, their chemical or physical forms, and the
nature of operations, and that incidents may cause unplanned releases of radioactive material.
10 CFR 835.402(c) requires internal dosimetry programs (including routine radiobioassay
programs) be conducted for radiological workers, declared pregnant workers, occupationally
exposed minors, and members of the public entering controlled areas who are likely to receive
intakes that exceed specified levels for committed effective dose equivalent in a year. An
internal dosimetry program generally consists of three elements:
· an air monitoring program, using a combination of real-time, fixed, and portable devices, as
appropriate;
· an individual monitoring program, using direct and/or indirect radiobioassay, and personal
breathing zone (BZ) air monitoring, as appropriate; and
· a dose evaluation program that evaluates the data collected by the air and individual
monitoring programs to determine the magnitude of individual doses.

4. IMPLEMENTATION GUIDANCE
This section provides guidance for establishing and conducting internal dosimetry programs for
individuals who have the potential for intakes of radioactive materials. It includes guidance for
design and implementation of the radiobioassay program, and guidance for evaluating,
recording, reporting, and managing internal doses. Additional technical guidance is provided in
DOE-STD-1121-98 and the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements
(NCRP) Report No. 87, Use of Radiobioassay Procedures for Assessment of Internal
Radionuclide Deposition (NCRP 1987).
An acceptable internal dosimetry program includes the following features:
· adequate staff with appropriate technical training;
· internal dosimetry technical basis documentation providing scientific information and other
rationale explaining essential elements of the internal dosimetry program to support dose
evaluation methods;
· written policies and procedures covering essential steps in the activities used to determine
worker internal
dose;
· criteria and methods for implementing an appropriate air monitoring program;
· defined criteria for identifying workers who need to participate in the individual monitoring
program;
· appropriate radiobioassay measurement methods and frequencies;
· methods for control, accountability, and safe handling of samples;
· appropriate dosimetric models and default parameters for evaluating internal dose;
· timely analysis of radiobioassay samples and measurements, transmission of results, dose
evaluation, and recommendations to operations management;
· adequate detection capability and quality of radiobioassay measurements;
· defined criteria and actions for identifying individuals with suspected intakes, based on
workplace measurements and radiobioassay measurements;
· appropriate action level guidelines;
· defined program to report internal doses to workers, management, and DOE;
· historical records of radiobioassay measurement results and dose evaluations;
· historical records of the program, and changes in the program over time; and
CANCELE
D
Section 6
DOE G 441.1-3A 7

· a quality assurance program covering essential steps in the activities that determine worker
internal dose.
4.1 PROGRAM MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION
4.1.1 General Requirements
The internal dosimetry program shall be adequate to demonstrate compliance with the dose
limits established in Subpart C of 10 CFR 835 [10 CFR 835.402(d)]. In addition, radiobioassay
programs implemented to demonstrate compliance with the requirements in 10 CFR 835.402(c)
(individual monitoring thresholds) shall be:
· accredited or excepted from accreditation in accordance with the DOELAP for
Radiobioassay [10 CFR 835.402(d)(1]; or
· determined by the Secretarial Officer responsible for environment, safety and health
matters, currently the Assistant Secretary for Environment, Safety, and Health, to have
performance substantially equivalent to that of programs accredited under DOELAP for
radiobioassay [10 CFR 835.402(d)(2].
Guidance for achieving accreditation or exception from accreditation under DOELAP is
provided in DOE-STD-1111-98, Department of Energy Laboratory Accreditation Program
Administration (DOE 1998d). Requests for other program determinations will be considered by
DOE on a case-by-case basis.
The provision requiring accreditation for radiobioassay programs implemented to demonstrate
compliance with 10 CFR 835.402(c) does not reflect an intent to provide a lesser degree of
protection to individuals unlikely to receive doses exceeding the regulatory monitoring
thresholds, nor does it express a desire to establish two separate radiobioassay programs (i.e.,
an accredited program for individuals likely to exceed the regulatory monitoring thresholds and
a nonaccredited program for individuals who are unlikely to exceed these thresholds). Rather,
those individuals who are unlikely to exceed the regulatory monitoring thresholds are provided
an adequate degree of protection by the various engineering and administrative controls that
limit their internal doses. Implementation of a comprehensive air monitoring program in
accordance with 10 CFR 835.401 and 403 verifies the effectiveness of these controls. When an
accredited radiobioassay program already exists and management of any given facility chooses
to provide monitoring for those individuals who are unlikely to exceed the regulatory
monitoring threshold, consideration should be given to using the accredited program. This will
obviate the need to implement two radiobioassay programs, one accredited and the other not.
In addition, it will avoid giving workers who are not required to be monitored the impression
that they are being provided a lesser degree of protection. However, this does not imply that
the monitoring program for those unlikely to exceed the monitoring threshold must be
accredited.
Sections 401 through 403 of 10 CFR 835 establish specific monitoring requirements for areas
and individuals. 10 CFR 835 also establishes requirements for maintaining individual
CANCELE
D
8 DOE G 441.1-3A
6-11-05
monitoring records (10 CFR 835.702) and reporting radiation doses to individuals
(10 CFR 835.801).
4.1.2 Organization, Staffing, and Facilities
4.1.2.1 Organization
The internal dosimetry program should be administered by the radiological control organization
under the leadership of the radiological control manager. The internal dosimetry program should
have a designated leader with demonstrated expertise in internal dose evaluation.
Section 7
When elements of the internal dosimetry program are performed by one or more subcontractors,
the radiological control organization should establish an arrangement of contractual standards
and assessments that ensure that subcontractors meet all applicable requirements in 10 CFR 835,
the documented Radiation Protection Program (RPP), DOELAP standards, and the internal
dosimetry technical basis document.
4.1.2.2 Staffing
The radiological control organization management should ensure that the internal dosimetry
program is adequately staffed to carry out its functions. The analysis of workplace and
radiobioassay measurement data and the evaluation of internal dose involve complex evaluation
and professional judgment. Personnel with responsibility for internal dose evaluation should
have the necessary expertise and skill, based on appropriate education and training in
conjunction with practical experience, to perform their assigned duties. Additional guidance on
education, skills, and training is provided in DOE G 441.1-1A, Management and Administration
of Radiation Protection Programs Guide (DOE 1999a). It is important that internal dosimetry
specialists be capable of recognizing conditions warranting follow-up radiobioassay and dose
evaluation. Personnel should be familiar with the relevant internal dosimetry literature and the
recommendations of national and international scientific organizations with regard to internal
dose evaluation.
Management of the radiological control organization should establish minimum requirements for
those staff who evaluate internal doses. These requirements should include both experience and
education requirements. Suggested educational background and formal training needed for
internal dosimetry program key positions are listed in DOE-STD-1107-97, Knowledge, Skills,
and Abilities for Key Radiation Protection Positions at DOE Facilities (DOE 1997b). Members
of the internal dosimetry staff should meet these requirements, or the staff should have access to
individuals with the required background (perhaps through interdepartmental agreements or
contracted services). It is not necessary for all personnel on the staff to have expertise in all of
the listed subject areas.
4.1.2.3 Facilities and Resources
Computational facilities and software tools used by internal dosimetry personnel should be
adequate for performing calculations required for the evaluation of dose from radionuclides in
the body. A library of handbooks, reference materials, scientific publications, and other
resources pertaining to internal dosimetry should be readily available. Suggested reference
CANCELE
D
DOE G 441.1-3A 9
6-11-05
materials include the documents listed as references and other supporting documents provided in
Sections 5 and 6 of this Guide.
4.1.3 Technical Basis Document
Internal dosimetry technical basis documentation should be developed and should include
technical methods, supporting evidence, and reference information used to provide the technical
foundation for the internal dosimetry program. The internal dosimetry technical basis
documentation should provide the approach to evaluating internal doses from radiobioassay data,
and for situations in which there is no practical radiobioassay, from representative air monitoring
or other appropriate data. The technical basis documentation should address all of the topics
listed under section 3.1, Internal Dosimetry Technical Basis Documentation, of DOE-STD-1121-
98. The technical basis documentation should be reviewed periodically and updated as
necessary to ensure that the scientific bases are appropriate for current conditions. The technical
basis documentation should be controlled and retained as a radiation protection program record.
Section 8
4.1.4 Internal Dosimetry Procedures Manual
10 CFR 835 requires that written procedures be developed and implemented as necessary to
ensure compliance, commensurate with the radiological hazards created by the activity and
consistent with the education, training, and skills of the individuals exposed to those hazards
(10 CFR 835.104). Essential elements of the internal dosimetry program should be addressed in
written procedures. These procedures should be consistent with 10 CFR 835, the DOELAP
standard and technical basis documentation.
Detailed guidance on topics that should be addressed in the internal dosimetry procedures
manual are discussed in Section 3.2, Internal Dosimetry Procedures Manual, of DOE-STD-
1121-98. Additional guidance on written procedures is provided in DOE G 441.1-1A.
4.1.5 Quality Assurance
Quality Assurance for internal dosimetry programs is addressed in DOE-STD-1121-98, Section
11, Quality Assurance. Quality assurance in support of internal dosimetry programs should be
conducted in accordance with this DOE standard.
The internal dosimetry program should be included as a functional element subject to the internal
audit requirements of 10 CFR 835.102. DOE G 441.1-1A provides guidance on internal audit
programs. External peer-review by qualified individuals, on a periodic basis, is also
recommended.
4.2 AIR MONITORING AND CONTAMINATION CONTROL PROGRAMS
The objectives of an air monitoring program are to verify the integrity of radioactive material
containment, detect the release of radioactive materials from some routine operations, detect
inadvertent releases of those materials in the workplace, evaluate and provide the basis for
modification to containment systems, provide a basis for the design of radiobioassay programs,
and verify that selected groups do not need to participate in a radiobioassay program. Air
monitoring programs and internal dosimetry programs are complimentary. The air monitoring
CANCELE
D
10 DOE G 441.1-3A
6-11-05
program provides an indication of the effectiveness of engineering and administrative controls in
preventing or minimizing worker intakes and the internal dosimetry program provides
verification of the adequacy of these controls in preventing or minimizing worker intakes.
The air monitoring and contamination control programs supplement the individual monitoring
program by providing a prospective assessment of radiological conditions, facilitating decisions
regarding postings, access controls, work authorizations, and individual monitoring, and
providing back-up data for use in individual dose evaluations. Because of the need to evaluate
individual internal doses from intakes of radioactive material from uncontained sources, airborne
radioactive material, and surface contamination, the air monitoring and contamination control
programs should include methods for assessing the degree of hazard arising from each of these
hazards to which individuals may be exposed. Guidance for implementing contamination
control and air monitoring programs is provided in DOE G 441.1-9, Radioactive Contamination
Control Guide (DOE 1999b), and DOE G 441.1-8, Air Monitoring Guide (DOE 1999c)
respectively.
In most cases, the air monitoring program is used to supplement and validate the individual
monitoring program. However, in the case when there is no practical radiobioassay method or
when there is a technology shortfall (e.g., the DIL is less than the MDA) the air monitoring
program may be the basis for the determination of internal doses. These two cases are discussed
below.
Section 9
4.2.1 Air Monitoring When There Is No Practical Radiobioassay Method
In situations where no radiobioassay method is available for the radionuclides in question, and
no radiobioassay program, either routine or special, can show compliance with 10 CFR 835,
personal (BZ) air monitoring may be used for demonstrating compliance with 10 CFR 835. BZ
air monitoring is part of the Individual Monitoring Program, which is detailed below. However,
other fixed or portable monitoring instruments that provide either real-time (such as continuous
air monitors) or retrospective (such as grab sampling which is analyzed at some time after the
sample is collected) may be required when BZ monitoring data is not available or to supplement
or validate the BZ data if it is available. Radionuclides with short half-lives, including the short-
lived decay products of 222Rn (“radon” decay products 218Po, 214Pb, 214Bi, and 214Po) and 220Rn
(“thoron” primary decay products 212Pb and 212Bi) are examples of radionuclides where intakes
cannot be determined through radiobioassay and must be determined from personal air
monitoring. For detailed information on non-background exposures to radon and thoron, see
DOE-STD-1121-98, Section 4.5, Measurements of Workplace Radon and Thoron
Concentrations, Potential Alpha Energy Concentrations, and Measurements of (or Assumptions
About) Equilibrium Factors. Monitoring programs for Radon and Thoron should be in
accordance with the DOE standard.
4.2.2 Recourse for Technology Shortfall (DIL<MDA)
DILs for reasonable and practical routine radiobioassay programs may be significantly less than
the achievable MDA for certain radionuclides, such as plutonium. Since a technology shortfall
for routine radiobioassay exists, the facility should consider the following actions (note that
CANCELE
D
DOE G 441.1-3A 11
6-11-05
some of these suggested actions fall under the category of individual as opposed to area
monitoring, but for completeness, they are all listed below):
· enhance contamination and air monitoring and the use of indicators (e.g., unexpected
glove or surface contamination, increase in airborne radioactive material contamination)
to trigger early special radiobioassay monitoring;
· enhance personal contamination monitoring (e.g., clothing, skin, nasal smears) to trigger
special radiobioassay monitoring;
· use the best practicable radiobioassay monitoring methods;
· implement enhanced design, operation, controls, and personnel protection equipment and
procedures to minimize intakes;
· implement supplementary air monitoring; and
· document and justify the planned supplementary approach in the facility's internal
dosimetry technical basis documentation.
When air monitoring data are used, each worker's stay times (in hours) and the average
concentration (in DACs) to which the worker is exposed should be multiplied to yield exposures
to airborne radioactive materials in units of DAC-hours. Forty (40) DAC-hours corresponds to
0.1 rem (0.001 Sv) committed effective dose equivalent for radionuclides with stochastic Annual
Limits on Intake.
A technology shortfall for routine radiobioassay should not be sufficient cause for failing to
place individuals on a minimum or best-available radiobioassay program. Refer to DOE-STD-
1121-98, Section 4.4.4, Supplementing Routine Radiobioassay Programs when DIL<MDA, for a
discussion and examples of technology shortfalls and suggested methods to handle such
situations.
Section 10
4.3 INDIVIDUAL MONITORING PROGRAM
Individual monitoring programs should be designed in accordance with Section 4 of DOE-STD-
1121-98 and should:
· provide for investigation of suspected intakes;
· provide data for evaluating internal dose; and
· provide results that are adequate to demonstrate compliance with the radiation dose limits
given in 10 CFR 835. The primary methods of routine and special worker radiobioassay
are direct (in vivo) radiobioassay and indirect (in vitro) radiobioassay.
International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) Publication 54, Individual
Monitoring for Intakes of Radionuclides by Workers: Design and Interpretation (ICRP 1989) as
well as the previously referenced NCRP Report No. 87 are suggested supplementary references
CANCELE
D
12 DOE G 441.1-3A
6-11-05
for individual monitoring program design. In situations where there is no practical
radiobioassay, representative air monitoring (e.g. breathing zone (BZ) air monitoring) is the
preferred measurement method on which to base dose evaluations. Additional guidance on air
monitoring programs may be found in DOE G 441.1-8.
4.3.1 Establishing the Need for Individual Monitoring
Radiological workers who could likely receive intakes resulting in 0.1 rem or more committed
effective dose equivalent in a year shall participate in an internal dose evaluation program
[10CFR 835.402(c)(1)]. Declared pregnant workers, occupationally exposed minors, and
members of the public are also required, under specific conditions [see 10 CFR 835.402(c)] to
participate in internal dosimetry programs. Criteria for participation in individual monitoring
programs which include baseline radiobioassay, routine radiobioassay and/or air sampling, radon
and thoron monitoring, special radiobioassay, and termination or task-ending radiobioassay,
radiobioassay for declared pregnant women, and confirmatory radiobioassay are covered in
DOE-STD-1121-98, Section 5, Individual Monitoring for Internal Dosimetry. This section of
the technical standard also discusses timely receipt of radiobioassay results. Participation in
individual monitoring programs for internal dosimetry should be in accordance with the DOE
technical standard. ICRP Publication 54 is also a recommended reference.
Situations may arise where a decision is made to monitor radiological workers who are not likely
to receive intakes that exceed 0.1 rem committed effective dose equivalent in a year. Such
monitoring may be useful for demonstrating compliance with 10 CFR 835.401(a) or established
for other purposes. The internal dosimetry program documentation should clearly identify those
individuals or groups of individuals being monitored for such purposes.
4.3.2 Investigation Levels/Derived Investigation Levels
Refer to DOE-STD-1121-98, Sections 4.3 and 4.4 for a discussion of and reference levels for
Investigation Levels (ILs) and Derived Investigation Levels (DILs). Programs should be
designed in accordance with this technical standard.
Refer to DOE-STD-1121-98, Section 4.4.1 for a discussion of factors affecting the DIL.
Additionally, section 4.4.2 provides guidance for calculating the DIL for a given sample
frequency, Section 4.4.3 discusses factors affecting the DIL for air sampling, and Section 4.4.4
deals with supplementing routine radiobioassay programs when DIL< MDA (technology
shortfall). Programs should be designed in accordance with this technical standard.
4.3.3 Minimum Detectable Amount (MDA)
Section 11
The internal dosimetry program staff should determine the minimum detectable amount (MDA)
for each radiobioassay and BZ air monitoring method for each radionuclide present. The MDAs
should be documented in procedures and their statistical bases given in the internal dosimetry
CANCELE

DOE G 441.1-3A 13

technical basis documentation. ANSI Standard N13.30-1996, Performance Criteria for
Radiobioassay, (ANSI 1996) provides extensive guidance on the calculation of MDAs.
As MDAs are affected by various aspects involved with individual monitoring methods,
procedures should contain descriptions of the method(s) of individual monitoring measurements
(e.g., urinalysis, fecal analysis, in vivo counting, BZ air monitoring), analytical methodology
(e.g., chemical separation followed by alpha counting), and measurement parameters (e.g.,
counting time or instrument efficiency) to be used in each component of the individual
monitoring program.
Several other factors affect the method of radiobioassay used and associated MDA. They
include:
· the possible need for improved detection capability to assess individual dose during the
special radiobioassay following an intake requiring internal dose evaluation, due to
diminishing amounts of material in compartments as time goes on;
· the need for improved precision and accuracy if residual retention and excretion from
prior intakes interferes with the detection of additional intakes in subsequent years;
· timeliness of results needed to manage individuals and keep subsequent intakes low
enough to avoid exceeding dose limits;
· convenience to the affected individuals;
· costs, including lost production time while individuals are participating in the
radiobioassay program; and
· the impact of the method of radiobioassay on the frequency of radiobioassay
measurements.
Where practicable, the method of individual monitoring, analytical methodology, and
measurement parameters should result in an MDA less than the corresponding DIL for all
radionuclides to which an individual might be exposed. The methods of radiobioassay and air
monitoring measurements, their MDAs, and their accuracies should be specified in the internal
dosimetry technical basis documentation, along with a rationale or justification for the methods
chosen.
4.3.4 Frequency of Measurement
The routine radiobioassay measurement frequency depends on the radiobioassay measurement
method and associated MDA. The frequency should be chosen so that it is unlikely that intakes
by an individual in a year will result in doses exceeding one IL without detection.

4.3.5 Detection and Confirmation of Intakes
Section 6 of DOE-STD-1121-98 provides acceptable methods for detecting and confirming
intakes through workplace monitoring and radiobioassay. Statistical methods for confirming that
an intake has occurred are also discussed. Decisions regarding the detection and confirmation of
suspected occupational intakes of radioactive material should be based on answers to the
following questions:
· Can it be concluded reliably that the analyte is present in the measured sample (>Lc)?
· Is the measurement result unexpected? In other words, is the result beyond the range of
values that would be expected due to environmental “background” sources or due to
previously recognized intakes?
· Is the intake (and resulting dose) implied by the measurement significant enough (e.g.,
greater than the IL) to warrant follow-up measurements or investigation?
Section 12
If the answer to all these questions is “yes,” then follow-up measurements or investigation is
warranted. Internal dosimetry programs should establish appropriate and technically-based
decision criteria to assist in answering these questions. Such decision criteria should be included
in the technical basis document for the site or facility.
The proper decision criteria for the first question is the Lc which is a purely statistical concept
based on an acceptable probability of “false positive” conclusions. The Lc for radiobioassay and
air sample measurements should be set by considering the acceptable rate of false positives, the
cost and consequences of false positives, and the dosimetric consequences of false negatives.
The analytical laboratory Lc should be based on a reagent blank.
Radiobioassay results above the Lc may be expected in the absence of a new intake due to
normal statistical fluctuations, non-occupational or environmental sources, or prior confirmed
intakes. In the case of environmental sources of interference (e.g., uranium in urine) an
“occupational decision level” should be established, above which the measurement result is
concluded to be statistically significant and above the range of values that would normally be
expected from environmental sources of the radionuclide. In the case of prior confirmed intakes,
an individual-specific “occupational decision level” should be established, which takes into
account the expected contribution from the prior intakes.
Finally, for each route of intake, measurement type, and radioactive material of interest (taking
into account particle size, inhalation class, etc.), time-dependent DILs should be established.
Such DILs are based solely on dosimetric considerations, and typically correspond to an implied
intake (and corresponding dose) of 1 investigation level, i.e., 0.1 rem. This Guide has adopted
the value of 0.1 rem CEDE as the value which, for regulatory purposes, is regarded as
sufficiently important to justify further investigation. However, a site or facility may wish to
establish lower follow-up levels for ALARA purposes.
CANCELE
D
DOE G 441.1-3A 15
6-11-05
If the measurement result is statistically significant, unexpected, and dosimetrically significant,
then follow-up measurements and/or an investigation should be done to attempt to confirm or
rule out the intake. An intake should be considered confirmed if the three criteria above are
satisfied and the measurement result is associated with a known incident, or appropriate follow-
up measurements meet the three criteria above, or follow-up investigation indicates that an
intake has occurred.
Refer to DOE-STD-1121-98, Section 6, for additional information on the detection and
confirmation of intakes. Table 3 addresses reference levels for interpreting or responding to
intake monitoring results. Program elements, which address detection and confirmation
radionuclide intakes, should be in accordance with the DOE technical standard. ANSI N13.30-
1996 and ICRP Publication 54 are suggested references. Additionally, NCRP Report No. 84,
General Concepts for the Dosimetry of Internally Deposited Radionuclides (NCRP 1985) and
ICRP Publication 30, Limits for Intakes of Radionuclides by Workers (ICRP 1979), may be
useful references.
4.3.6 Internal Dose Management
Section 13
Internal dose management, which includes routine radiological worker dose management,
management of dose from previous intakes (work restrictions), control of dose to the
embryo/fetus, control of dose to minors and students, dose limitation, interface with the external
dosimetry program, lifetime dose control, accidental dose control, and internal dose control after
an incident, is covered in DOE-STD-1121-98, Section 8, Internal Dose Management. Individual
programs should be in accordance with the DOE technical standard.
4.3.7 Planned Special Exposures
Planned special exposures are included in an individual’s occupational dose record, but shall not
be considered when determining compliance with the occupational dose limits of 10 CFR 835
[10 CFR 835.204(a), (e)]. In order to maintain separate records of doses resulting from planned
special exposures and routine occupational exposures, dosimetry adequate to measure the
potential doses and appropriate for the work to be performed and specific radiological
circumstances should be provided for the planned special exposure.
4.3.8 Medical Response
Medical response is addressed in DOE-STD-1121-98, Section 10, Medical Response. The
standard addresses situations where internal dosimetry actions and medical treatment occur
simultaneously, the role of the health physicist in medical treatment, when to treat, how to treat,
the impact of therapy on dosimetry, and the counseling of workers. Medical response should be
handled in accordance with the DOE technical standard.

4.4 INTERNAL DOSE EVALUATION
10 CFR 835 requires internal dose evaluation programs for assessing intakes of radionuclides
and for maintaining adequate worker exposure records. Technical details and extensive
references for internal dose evaluation are given in DOE-STD-1121-98. ICRP Publications 30
and 54, NCRP Report No. 84, and ANSI N13.30 are additional suggested references.
4.4.1 Required Dose Calculations
Internal doses should be evaluated for all confirmed intakes, as defined in Section 4.3.5 of this
guide. For intakes confirmed with radiobioassay results below the DIL, no further investigation
or follow-up radiobioassay are indicated. For intakes confirmed with radiobioassay results
above the DIL or exposures greater than 40 DAC-hours, follow-up radiobioassay (if practical)
and investigation should be performed.
The extent of the investigation and the number and frequency of special radiobioassay
measurements following a suspected or confirmed intake should be determined and documented
on an individual, case-specific basis, taking into account the potential magnitude of the intake,
the effective clearance half-time, the health of the worker, and the number of measurements
needed to evaluate the internal dose.
The schedule and frequency of long-term special radiobioassay measurements to evaluate the
CEDE to an individual who has had an intake resulting in a dose in excess of one IL should
depend on the expected magnitude of the CEDE and the likelihood of the individual receiving
additional intakes.
While the investigation should be tailored to the specific individual and exposure circumstances,
the trigger levels and preliminary actions to be taken for exposures to the different radionuclides
encountered at the facility should be documented in the internal dosimetry technical basis
documentation and procedures.
4.4.2 Interpretation of Radiobioassay Data
Section 14
Technical details on the interpretation of radiobioassay data including the use of biokinetic
models are given in DOE-STD-1121-98, Section 7, Internal Dose Evaluation. Radiobioassay
data should be interpreted in accordance with the applicable portions of this DOE technical
standard.
Evaluations of CEDE from a specific intake should account for expected values of radiobioassay
measurements from prior confirmed intakes.
4.4.3 Evaluation of Internal Dose from Radiobioassay and Air Monitoring Data
Methods for evaluating the various doses from intakes should be specified in the internal
dosimetry technical basis documentation. The methods should be based on recommendations
given in ICRP Publications, NCRP Reports, and ANSI standards, which embody improvements
and updates of the science of internal dosimetry. Other methods may be used provided they are
CANCELE
D
DOE G 441.1-3A 17
6-11-05
documented and justified in the procedures and/or internal dosimetry technical basis
documentation.
In the calculation of internal doses less than one IL, default parameters may be used. These
parameters (e.g., intake date, deposition fractions, retention functions, organ masses, absorption
fractions) should be based on the recommendations of the ICRP, NCRP, other relevant technical
references, or facility-specific factors as documented in the internal dosimetry technical basis
documentation.
If the initial evaluation of an intake indicates a dose in excess of 10 times an IL, individual-
specific and facility-specific factors should be used when appropriate parameters are expected to
change the dose calculations by a factor of 1.5 or more (ICRP Publication 54, paragraph 74).
Between 1 and 10 times the IL, either default parameters or individual- and facility-specific
parameters may be used, as deemed appropriate and documented by the internal dosimetry staff.
The basis for determining which individual-specific and facility-specific factors are expected to
change the dose calculations by a factor of 1.5 or more should be documented in the internal
dosimetry technical basis documentation. Determination of individual retention patterns for a
worker requires participation in the special radiobioassay program and may require temporary
work restriction or reassignment to prevent subsequent intakes from confounding the dose
evaluation.
4.4.4 Periodic Reevaluation of Internal Dose
In the case of certain well-retained radionuclides (e.g., plutonium), long-term follow-up and
reevaluation of doses may be required. The internal contribution to lifetime occupational dose
should continue to be reevaluated as further radiobioassay results and improved methods for
evaluating internal dose become available.
Evaluations for general employees with prior confirmed intakes should be revised when
information demonstrates a change in the currently evaluated CEDE of 0.5 rem (0.005 Sv) or a
factor of 1.5 of the previously assigned dose for that intake, whichever is higher. In cases where
intakes are detected or confirmed in a year subsequent to the year of the intake, the CEDE should
be attributed to the known or assumed year of the intake, and all records and reports for that year
should be amended as appropriate.
4.5 RECORD KEEPING AND REPORTING
Requirements and guidance for recording and reporting internal doses and related information
are provided in 10 CFR 835 DOE G 441.1-11, Occupational Radiation Protection Record-
Keeping and Reporting Guide (DOE 1999d) and DOE-STD-1121-98, Section 9, Records and
Reports. Record keeping and reporting of internal doses and related information should be in
accordance with these DOE documents.
