Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The NCRP recommended monthly equivalent dose limit for a pregnant worker is 0.5 mSv. This limit is lower than that recommended for non-pregnant workers (1.25 mSv/month). The limit is based on the potential risk to the developing embryo/fetus from ionizing radiation. It is important for pregnant workers to inform their employer of their pregnancy status and for the employer to take appropriate measures to ensure that the worker's radiation exposure is kept below the recommended limit.
