Dosimeter location - x-ray facility

[sandy_perle@email.fpl.com]

     Recently there was a discussion regarding whether or not an individual 
     should wear the dosimeter outside or under a shielded apron. While it 
     was not a question regarding dental x-rays, the following is a section 
     from the State of Florida Regulations:
     
     " When a protective apron is worn, the monitoring device shall be worn 
     at the collar outside of the apron"
     
     In addition, the requirement for monitoring refers back to the 10% 
     rule, that the dose has the potential to exceed 500 mrem in a year.

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.
