Current through Vol. 41, No. 19, June 17, 2024

Section 252:410-20-1 - Standards for protection against radiation

(a)Scope and applicability. This Subchapter applies to all persons possessing source(s) of ionizing radiation subject to DEQ jurisdiction. Incorporated exposure limits do not apply to doses an individual has received due to background radiation or any medical administration or from his voluntary participation in medical research programs. Nothing in these rules shall be interpreted as limiting the intentional exposure of patients to radiation for the purpose of medical diagnosis or therapy.

(b)Terms. For purposes of this Subchapter:

(1)"Licensed material" means any radioactive material under DEQ jurisdiction.

(2)"Licensee" means the holder of any DEQ radiation management authorization.
