Question 8: Under what circumstances are planned special
exposures permitted?
Answer: The statement of considerations indicates that the
intent of the planned special exposure was that it be used
infrequently in circumstances where the elimination of the
5 (N-18) lifetime cumulative limit might create a severe
handicap to the licensee's operation. See Regulatory Guide
8.N6, for further detailed guidance. (Reference: 10 CFR
20.1206)
