(C) shallow dose equivalent whole body;

(E) committed dose equivalent;
(F) committed dose equivalent maximally exposed organ;
(G) total effective dose equivalent; and
(H) total organ dose equivalent. (b) Annual occupational radiation exposure information must be compiled annually and incorporated into the individual’s occupational radiation exposure history form required to be maintained under 7 AAC 18.340. (c) For the purpose of calculating the effective dose equivalent, the values of the weighting factor (WT) are as follows: 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 Remainder1 0.30 Whole Body2 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
