[ RadSafe ] Carbon-14 Exemption Level

[JPreisig at aol.com]

Radsafe,
 
     C-14 is one of the radionuclides that travels well  in groundwater.  
There is a pretty deep unsaturated zone in Saudi  Arabia.  Wonder if the C-14 
would ever reach groundwater in Saudi  Arabia???  Guess rainfall would 
eventually transport C-14 downward.
 
     Why is C-14 important to Saudi Arabia???

Thanks  Khalid, it wasn’t specifically work orientated, but thanks for the  
clarification.

Michael: IAEA publication is only a  Guidelines. Yet, there is no approved 
national  regulation for ARAMCO  activities in Saudi Arabia (and others) 
except for NORM which is 1 Bq/g. I  would suggest that you get the answer from 
the formally assigned regulator,  that is KACARE  .
