Question 191: Is a licensee required to provide dosimeters
to an individual during a planned special exposure (PSE)
that would only be worn during the PSE?
Answer: No, there is no requirement, but the licensee may
do so. 10 CFR 20.1206 requires that the doses received
during a PSE be accounted for separately from the doses
received under the limits of 20.1201, and the use of
separate dosimeters that are worn only during the PSE is a
practical means to account for the PSE dose. (Reference:
10 CFR 20.1206, 10 CFR 20.2105, 10 CFR 20.2204)
