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 minor workers, the annual occupational dose limits are 10 percent of the dose limits for adult workers. For protection of the embryo/fetus of a declared pregnant woman, the dose limit is 0.5 rem (5 mSv) during the entire pregnancy. The occupational dose limit for adult workers of 5 rems (0.05 Sv) TEDE is based on consideration of the potential for delayed biological effects. The 5-rem (0.05 Sv) limit, together with application of the concept of keeping occupational doses ALARA, provides a level of risk of delayed effects considered acceptable by the NRC.
