Once Radiation Safety reviews the form, a dosimeter will be issued if needed.Ĭurrent occupational radiation control rules impose a special dose limit specifically for the unborn child (embryo/fetus) of any radiation worker who formally declares her pregnancy. New personnel working with radiation sources or radiation producing devices must complete and RS-3 Form for Dosimetry during the Basic Radiation Safety training class.

86 Rb, 22 Na, 51 Cr, 131 I >5 mCi per protocol.

If you meet the following criteria and do not have a badge, please contact the Radiation Safety Office at 71.Ī Badge is required if you use or work with: The following table provides general badging guidelines for those who handle radiation sources or equipment. Radiation workers who operate x-ray machines, flouroscopy units, certain unsealed and sealed radioisotopes or are exposed to other sources of gamma or high energy beta radiation are generally required to wear one or more dosimeters. For more details on the proper procedure for wearing dosimetry see the section labeled "How do I wear my dosimeter?" The TLD chip is housed in a plastic ring to be worn on your dominant hand. The TLD measures extremity dose (finger, hands etc.) from x-radiation, gamma radiation and high energy beta radiation. The Luxel badge measures whole body dose from x-radiation, gamma radiation and beta radiation. UTHealth uses two badges for most employees, Luxel by Landauer (aluminum oxide dosimeter) and TLDs (thermoluminescent dosimeter). Dosimeters cannot detect low energy beta radiation from some isotopes, including carbon-14, tritium or sulfur-35.

The badge will detect high-energy beta, gamma or x-ray radiation.

So if you have questions concerning your radiation exposure or you would like your dosimetry records for a particular monitoring period, please call 71Ī radiation dosimeter or badge does not provide protection but detects and measures radiation that you have been exposed to. Our main goal is to maintain occupational dose As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA). Radiation Answers is a website developed by the Health Physics Society (HPS) as a central source for information on subjects ranging from general radiation facts to radiation use in industry and medicine. Helpful reference concerning radiation and how it interacts: National Average Annual Exposure from background (non-occupational) radiation is 625 mrem (NCRP 160, 2006). The maximum annual regulatory limit for radiation workers is 5,000 mrem Deep dose (DDE), 15,000 mrem Lens dose (LDE), and 50,000 mrem Shallow dose (SDE). M means your badge dose during a monitoring period was too low to be measured or approximately 1 mrem. Once you are logged in you must reenter the Account Number and then enter the Serial Number.Ī Blank reading means you have not submitted a badge for dose analysis this calendar year.

Remove any zeros at the beginning of the account number like in the example. For example if your account number is 0040000 then your Username is UTH40000.

You can locate the Account Number you are attached to by locating the number on the backside of the badge. In order to view your radiation dose readings please go to the following link ( The online program uses Internet Explorer.
