Inconsistent dose limits 49 CFR and 10 CFR 20

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

J Hageman is right - 49 CFR 172.803(b)(1) quotes the old quarterly limits,
while Part 20 of course has annual dose limits.  Yes! they are inconsistent!
...  and they just are, what can you say.  We need to remember that the
international standards that these "new" DOT regs were based on were published
and accepted by the international community 10 years ago (1985, with a
supplement in 1986)!!  It took the United States 10 years to adopt them.  In
fact, IAEA Safety Series No. 6 is set for its next revision next year.  It
will take us another 10 - 15 years to adopt the "real new" regs!
