Licensees and registrants must maintain exposures so that the total effective dose equivalent to individual members of the public from the licensed or registered operation does not exceed 1 milliSievert in a year; and the dose in any unrestricted area from external sources does not exceed 0.02 milliSievert in any one hour. (See RH 4.14 and 4.15 of the Regulations.) Compliance can be demonstrated by surveys and/or calculations. The Division has available for downloading a guideline to evaluate public doses to assist in the evaluation of public doses.
