John,

The following document,  U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Guide 8.39  "Release of

Patients Administered Radioactive Materials" (Published 4/1997) gives the

criteria we use in the U.S.  It can be found at

http://www.nrc.gov/NRC/RG/08/08-039.pdf  I do not have a site for the

background document, NUREG-1492, "Regulatory Analysis on Criteria for the

Release of Patients Administered Radioactive Materials"

Subject: Discharge of a I131 patient from the hospital





Dear Radsafers,

  What appropriate measurement of dose rate from an I131 patient should be

taken in determining its residual activity before discharging that patient?
