Organ Dose Weighting Factors Organ or tissue WT Gonads 0.25 Breast 0.15 Red bone marrow 0.12 Lung 0.12 Thyroid 0.03 Bone surfaces 0.03 Remainder 10.30 Whole Body 2

1.00

1 0.30 results from 0.06 for each of five "remainder" organs, excluding the skin and the lens of the eye, that receive the highest doses. 2 For the purpose of weighting the external whole body dose (for adding it to the internal dose), a single weighting factor, WT=1.0, should be used.

(d) A registrant shall retain and preserve records used in preparing the annual occupational radiation exposure form indefinitely, or until the registrant terminates operation and transfers personnel monitoring records to the department as required under 7 AAC 18.340.
