Section 336.301 - Purpose and Scope(a) This subchapter establishes standards for protection against ionizing radiation resulting from activities conducted under licenses issued by the commission and establishes minimum standards for all persons who dispose of radioactive materials.(b) The rules in this subchapter are designed to control the receipt, possession, use, transfer, and disposal of licensed radioactive material by any commission licensee so that the total dose to an individual, including doses resulting from licensed and unlicensed radioactive material and from radiation sources other than background radiation, does not exceed the standards for protection against radiation prescribed in this subchapter. However, nothing in this subchapter shall be construed as limiting actions that may be necessary to protect health and safety.(c) Except as specifically provided in other parts of this chapter, this subchapter applies to persons licensed by the commission to receive, possess, use, transfer, or dispose of radioactive material. The limits in this subchapter do not apply to doses due to background radiation, to exposure of patients to radiation for the purpose of medical diagnosis or therapy, or to voluntary participation in medical research programs.(d) Nothing in this subchapter relieves the licensee from complying with other applicable federal, state, and local regulations governing any other toxic or hazardous properties of materials that shall be disposed of under the rules in this chapter.30 Tex.
