3.4.2. For each individual who is likely to receive, in a year, an occupational dose requiring monitoring,
the installation RSO shall:
3.4.2.1. Determine the occupational internal and external radiation dose received during the current
year.
3.4.2.2. Attempt to obtain the records of cumulative occupational radiation dose.
3.4.3. Prior to permitting an individual to participate in a planned special exposure, the installation
RSO shall determine
3.4.3.1. The internal and external doses from all previous planned special exposures; and
3.4.3.2. All doses in excess of the limits (including doses received during accidents and emergencies)
received during the lifetime of the individual.
3.4.4. In complying with the requirements of this section, the installation RSO may:
3.4.4.1. Accept, as a record of the occupational dose that the individual received during the current
year, a written signed statement from the individual, or from the individual’s most recent
employer for work involving radiation exposure, that discloses the nature and the amount of any
occupational dose that the individual may have received during the current year, or;
3.4.4.2. Accept, as the record of cumulative radiation dose, an up-to-date AF Form 1527-2
obtained from IERA/SDRD so long as the individual certifies by signature that the AF Form
1527-2 contains records of his or her complete radiation exposure history, or;
3.4.4.3. Accept, as the record of cumulative radiation dose, an up-to-date NRC Form 4, Cumulative
Occupational Exposure History, or equivalent, signed by the individual and counter-signed by
an appropriate official of the most recent employer for work involving radiation exposure, or the
individual’s current employer; and
3.4.4.4. Obtain reports of the individual’s dose equivalents from the most recent employer for
work involving radiation exposure or the individual’s current employer by telephone, telegram,
electronic media, or letter. Written verification of dose data will be requested if the authenticity
of the transmitted report cannot be established.
3.4.4.5. The installation RSO, as required by this section, shall take into account an individual’s
prior exposure history and ensure any additional occupational radiation exposure received as a
result of Air Force or concurrent moonlighting operations does not exceed allowable occupational
exposure limits as specified in 10 CFR 20. Individuals whose prior exposure history exceeds
allowable occupational exposure limits will not be entered into the dosimetry program. Individuals
who exceed the applicable occupational exposure limit, either as a result of Air Force or concurrent
moonlighting activities, will be immediately removed from all duties involving
occupational radiation exposure.
3.4.5. If the installation RSO is unable to obtain a complete record of an individual's current and previously
accumulated occupational dose, the installation RSO shall assume:
3.4.5.1. In establishing administrative controls for the current year, that the allowable dose limit
for the individual is reduced by 1.25 rems (12.5 mSv) for each quarter for which records were
unavailable and the individual was engaged in activities that could have resulted in occupational
radiation exposure; and
