Re: dental exposures

     From my experiences State Regulations emulate the Federal regulations. 
     The requirements for monitoring has little to do with what you do but 
     rather with the amount of exposure you are projected to be exposed to. 
     Radiography is the exception, where dosimetry is required. The State 
     of FL Regs. emulate 10CFR20 verbatim.
     
     It is true that the NRC does not regulate x-ray producing machines, 
     and therefore not the monitoring records of those individuals. The 
     only connection is therefore the dose limits used and accepted by the 
     various States.

Question:  Why would a person look at 10 CFR 20 for x-ray exposures?  
Which states regulated by the NRC enforce x-ray exposures to 
workers?

Most states that I know have rules and regulations requiring any 
worker,  working in x-ray areas to wear badges.
