Holding kids thread...
This is just to let everyone know that the NRC published new
regulatory definitions of occupational and public dose to
exclude medical exposure. 60 FR 36038-36043, July 13, 1995. As
I understand the new rule, only persons employed in a radiation
area or radioactive materials area are considered occupationally
exposed, not an occasional visitor ot that area. So putting a
monitoring device on a "family member who is asked to assist in
positioning a patient" is probably not appropriate.
Also, a "wrong patient" rule was published on September 20,
1995 ..60 FR 48623. I think the idea a a family member
receiving radiation exposure incidentally from a patient might
be in there.
