RE Dose to Public

["PEDGERTO@HW1" <HW1.PEDGERTO@HW1.CAHWNET.GOV>]

You have to be a little careful about Part 20 and agreement states.  For
example, California wrote a blurb in our regs that includes radiation from x-ra
y machines when reading Part 20.  So, x-ray facilities in California must compl
y with Part 20 exposure limits along with the RAM users.

I too, tried to respond to Mr. Marsh and failed.

I would just say that the reg reads "...FROM LICENSED OPERATIONS..."
I sought clarification and was told that it meant what it said.  So
machine produced radiaton does not need to be considered as it would
have to be for occupational limits.  I had heard of some putting
dosimeters in Radiology waiting rooms as well as Nuclear Medicine.
