US<strong>AF</strong> PERSONNEL DOSIMETRY PROGRAM<br />
1.1. Purpose. Each person who routinely works with radioactive materials or ionizing radiation-producing<br />
machines could receive an occupational exposure to ionizing radiation. Occupational exposure<br />
includes exposures from sources external to the body (i.e., x-ray machines, various radioactive sources)<br />
and exposures from internally deposited radionuclides (i.e., ingested, inhaled or absorbed). Occupational<br />
radiation exposures do not include exposures to naturally occurring background radiation and or exposures<br />
received as a patient undergoing medical diagnosis or treatment. The US<strong>AF</strong> Personnel Dosimetry<br />
Program (hereafter referred to as the <strong>dosime</strong>try program) is designed to monitor, when necessary, occupational<br />
radiation exposures. All <strong>dosime</strong>try program monitoring results are maintained permanently in the<br />
US<strong>AF</strong> Master Radiation Exposure Registry which is maintained by the Institute for Environment, Safety,<br />
Occupational Health and Risk Assessment/Radiation Dosimetry Branch (IERA/SDRD), 2402 E. Drive,<br />
Brooks <strong>AF</strong>B, TX 78235-5001.<br />
1.2. Program Eligibility .<br />
1.2.1. The <strong>dosime</strong>try program monitors all Air Force and Air National Guard military and civilian<br />
members, identified by the installation Radiation Safety Officer (RSO), as requiring personnel <strong>dosime</strong>try<br />
per this instruction.<br />
1.2.2. Active duty members and civilian employees of other DoD agencies:<br />
1.2.2.1. Individuals in this category may receive personnel monitoring under terms of agreements<br />
entered into between the IERA/SDRD, Air Force Center for Radiation Dosimetry and the<br />
Radiation Dosimetry Centers of their respective DoD agencies or services.<br />
1.2.2.2. All personnel monitoring results for individuals in this category will be stored in the<br />
US<strong>AF</strong> Master Radiation Exposure Registry (MRER) and in addition will be reported to the<br />
responsible Service or Agency <strong>dosime</strong>try center.<br />
1.2.3. Individuals employed by Federal, State, or Local government agencies outside the DoD may<br />
receive personnel monitoring from IERA/SDRD on a fee-for-services basis under terms of agreements<br />
entered into between IERA/SDRD and their agency radiation safety office.
