Once the total effective dose to the embryo/fetus of the declared pregnant woman exceeds 400 mRem, she will be restricted from any further work involving occupational radiation exposure for the remainder of the pregnancy.
For a given dose of radiation (the threshold dose), there is loss of organ or tissue functionality, leading to pregnancy loss, congenital malformations, neurobehavioral abnormalities, and fetal growth restriction. The severity and the incidence of these effects increase with the dose.
