Re: Children: rad exposure from Nuc Med patients

["Sandy Perle" <sandyfl@ix.netcom.com>]

I recognize that many states have their own regulatory requirements, 
that may differ from the generic limits outlined within 10CFR20. 
However, based on 10CFR20, the only mention of minors is with respect 
to occupational dose, which states that the dose to minors, 20.1207, 
shall be 10% of the limits stated in 20.1201. Subpart D- Radiation 
Dose Limits for Individual Members of the Public, does NOT single out 
minors at all, and specifically limits the public dose from licensed 
activities to 100 mrem year. I do not know how state regulations 
handle this from non-NRC licensed facilities, or, from radiation 
generating equipment.
