10CFR20 mistake?

[Jack Couch <jgcouc@PLANETX.BLOOMU.EDU>]

Radsafers,

A student in my HP class pointed out something in 10CFR20 that has until

now escaped my notice.



20.2202 (a)(1)(iii) "A shallow-dose equivalent to the skin or extremities

of 250 rads(2.5 Gy)..."

Note the units used here for shallow-dose equivalent. It is the same in

earlier editions of 10CFR20. In (b)(1)(iii) the units are in rems (Sv). 



Do you suppose there is a reason behind the difference in units, or is it

just another governmental boo-boo?
