Section 310:281-9-6 - Permissible levels of radiation from diagnostic x-ray systems in unrestricted areas

(a) Any person may apply to the Department for proposed limits upon levels of radiation in unrestricted areas resulting from the applicant's possession or use of diagnostic x-ray systems. Such applications shall include information as to anticipated average radiation levels and anticipated occupancy times for each unrestricted area involved. The Department will approve the proposed limits if the applicant demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Department that the proposed limits are not likely to cause any individual to receive a dose to the whole body in any period of one calendar year in excess of 0.5 rem.

(b) Except as authorized by the Department pursuant to 310:281-9-6(a), no permittee shall use or transfer diagnostic x-ray systems in such a manner as to create in any unrestricted area from such diagnostic x-ray systems in his possession:

(1) radiation levels which, if an individual were continuously present in the area, could result in his receiving a dose in excess of 2 millirems in any one hour; or

(2) radiation levels which, if an individual were continuously present in the area, could result in his receiving a dose in excess of 100 millirems in any seven consecutive days.

(c) Radiation levels shall be limited so that individuals in unrestricted areas would not receive a dose to the whole body in excess of 0.5 rem in any one-year. If in specific instances, it is determined by the Department that this intent is not met, the Department may, pursuant to 310:281-1-4 impose such additional requirements on the permittee as may be necessary to meet the intent.
