any Air Force personnel who may receive personnel dosimetry services from those centers and will
incorporate all such results into the MRER as doses obtained outside the Air Force.
6.3. Visitors (Occasionally-Exposed Individuals):
6.3.1. The RSO may authorize visitors to enter a radiation area or high radiation area. The installation
RSO shall advise all visitors of time and distance restrictions to ensure the dose received is less
than or equal to 0.01 rem. Visitors entering a radiation area may be issued a direct reading dosimeter
if deemed appropriate by the installation RSO. A direct reading dosimeter shall be provided to all personnel
entering a high radiation area. The decision to provide a direct reading dosimeter for entry
into radiation areas should be based on the anticipated exposure potential during a single visit and the
anticipated number of visits by an individual in a year. Visitors need not be provided a direct reading
dosimeter if their anticipated exposure is less than 100 mrem/year. If direct reading dosimeters are
issued, a log of all dosimeter readings will be maintained and include the following:
6.3.1.1. The date, time and purpose of the visit.
6.3.1.2. The visitor’s printed name, SSAN, and business address and phone.
6.3.1.3. The dosimeter’s serial number and calibration date.
6.3.1.4. The dosimeter reading before and after the visit.
6.3.1.5. The dosimeter’s net exposure reading and net exposure time.
6.3.2. The installation RSO reviews all visitor dosimeter logs quarterly.
6.3.3. The installation RSO ensures IERA/SDRD is provided a copy of all non- zero log readings for
entry into the MRER within 10 days of the end of the quarterly monitoring period.
6.3.4. When visitors enter an area where unsealed radioactive material is in use, the installation RSO
shall ensure appropriate protective clothing or equipment (e.g., respiratory protection, lab coats, shoe
covers, gloves, etc.) are provided as needed to keep potential doses below 0.01 rem TEDE.
6.4. Individuals Voluntarily Exposed to Radiation Sources as Subjects in Bio medical Research:
Exposures of individuals to radiation as subjects in biomedical research must be approved in advance following
procedures detailed in AFI 40-201.
6.5. Special Survey Dosimeters:
6.5.1. The installation RSO may request special survey dosimeters (e.g., dosimeters used for area surveys,
localized exposure determinations, conducting an exposure investigation) from IERA/SDRD.
6.5.2. Dosimeters routinely provided by IERA/SDRD will not be used for special surveys unless
authorized by IERA/SDRD.
6.6. Planned Special Exposures:
6.6.1. Planned special exposures will not be accomplished unless prior approval is granted by
AFMOA/SGOR. Requests for planned special exposure will be signed by the installation commander
and include the following:
6.6.1.1. Justification for the planned special exposure.
