Section 20.3.10.1003 - NOTIFICATIONS AND REPORTS TO INDIVIDUALS

A. Radiation exposure data for an individual and the results of any measurements, analyses and calculations of radioactive material deposited or retained in the body of an individual shall be reported to the individual as specified in this section. The information reported shall include data and results obtained pursuant to department rules, orders or license conditions, as shown in records maintained by the licensee or registrant pursuant to department rules. Each notification and report shall:

(1) be in writing;

(2) include appropriate identifying data such as the name of the licensee or registrant, the name of the individual and the individual's identification number, preferably social security number;

(3) include the individual's exposure information; and

(4) contain the following statement: "This report is furnished to you under the provisions of 20.3.10 NMAC. You should preserve this report for further reference."

B. Each licensee or registrant shall make dose information available to workers as shown in records maintained by the licensee under the provisions of 20.3.4.446 NMAC. The licensee or registrant shall provide an annual report to each individual monitored under 20.3.4.417 NMAC of the dose received in that monitoring year if:

(1) the individual's occupational dose exceeds 1 millisievert (100 millirems) TEDE or 1 millisievert (100 millirems) to any individual organ or tissue; or

(2) the individual requests his or her annual dose report.

C. At the request of a worker formerly engaged in department-licensed or regulated activities controlled by the licensee or registrant, each licensee or registrant shall furnish to the worker a written report of the worker's exposure to radiation or radioactive material or both as shown in records maintained by the licensee pursuant to 20.3.4.446 NMAC for each year the worker was required to be monitored under the provisions of 20.3.4.417 NMAC. The report must be furnished within 30 days from the time the request is made, or within 30 days after the exposure of the individual has been determined by the licensee or registrant, whichever is later. This report must cover the period of time that the worker's activities involved exposure to radiation from sources of radiation licensed or regulated by the department and must include the dates and locations of licensed or department-regulated activities in which the worker participated during this period.

D. When a licensee or registrant is required pursuant to 20.3.4.452 NMAC, 20.3.4.453 NMAC or 20.3.4.454 NMAC to report to the department any exposure of an individual to radiation or radioactive material or both; the licensee or the registrant shall also provide the individual a written report on his or her exposure data included in the report to the department. The report must be transmitted no later than the transmittal to the department.

E. At the request of a worker who is terminating employment with the licensee or registrant that involved exposure to radiation or radioactive materials or both, during the current calendar quarter or the current year, each licensee or registrant shall provide at termination to each such worker, or to the worker's designee, a written report regarding the radiation dose received by that worker from operations of the licensee or registrant during the current year or fraction thereof. If the most recent individual monitoring results are not available at that time, a written estimate of the dose shall be provided together with a clear indication that this is an estimate.
