Fetal Dosimetry Request

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) have established a category of occupationally exposed individuals, the declared pregnant worker. The radiation dose equivalent to the embryo/fetus is 500 mrem for the entire gestation period. The State of Minnesota Rules require that following dose equivalent to the embryo/fetus, in any one month, not exceed 50 mrem.


Please complete the following form if you would like to request a fetal dosimeter.

Do you already have dosimetry badges issued to you?

Please provide the campus, department and supervisor you work for.

Fetal dosimeters are exchanged on a monthly basis, so this should be a location you will pickup your dosimeter from each month you are monitored.
