This regulation establishes standards for protection against radiation hazards associated with sources of ionizing radiation.

Source. Regulation for Radiation Protection.

Effective. December 10, 1977.

Authority. 18 V.S.A. Sec. 102 and 18 V.S.A. Chapter 32.

Section 5-302.

Scope.

This regulation applies to all persons who receive, possess, use or transfer sources of ionizing radiation except that nothing in these regulations shall be construed to limit the kind or amount of radiation that may be applied intentionally to a patient for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes by or under the direction of a practitioner of the healing arts licensed by the State of Vermont as follows:

Definitions.

(A)

As low as is reasonably achievable, for the purpose of this regulation means as low as is reasonably achievable taking into account the state of technology at or available to Vermont Yankee and the economics of improvements in relation to the benefits to the public health and safety and in relation to the utilization or atomic energy in the public interest.

(B)

Background radiation, for the purposes of this regulation, means the natural radioactivity of the atmosphere that results from the presence of radioactive materials which originate either from radioactive minerals in the earths crust or from the interaction of cosmic radiation with the gases of the atmosphere. It also includes the radioactivity contributed by atmospheric nuclear weapons testing programs.

(C)

Board means Vermont Board of Health.

(D)

Curie (Ci) is defined as 3.7 x 1010 disintegrations per second. Commonly used submultiples of the Curie are milliCurie (mCi) and the microCurie (µCi):

1.

One milliCurie = 0.001 Curie

2.

One microCurie = 0.000001 Curie (E)

Dose means the quantity of radiation absorbed, per unit of mass, by the body or any portion of the body.

(F)

Individual means any human being.

(G)

Unrestricted Area means any area, access to which is not controlled by the owner or person having possession of any source of ionizing radiation, for purposes of protection of individuals from exposure to radiation and radioactive materials, or to any area used for residential quarters.

(H)

Ionizing radiation means gamma rays and X-rays, alpha and beta particles, high speed electrons, neutrons, protons and other nuclear particles, but not sound or radio waves or visible, infrared, or ultraviolet light.

(I)

Radioactive materials means all materials that are determined to be a source of ionizing radiation.

(J)

Radioactive materials (radioactivity) is commonly, and for purposes of this regulation, is measured in terms of disintegrations per unit time or in Curies.

(K)

Rem means a measure of the dose of any ionizing radiation to body tissue in terms of its estimated biological effect relative to a dose of one Roentgen (R) of X-rays. A commonly used submultiple of the rem is the millirem (mrem):

1.

One millirem (mrem) = 0.001 rem 2

For the purpose of this regulation any of the following is considered to be equivalent to a dose of one rem:

1.

A dose of 1 R due to X-or gamma radiation.

2.

A dose of 1 rad due to X-, gamma or beta radiation.

3.

A dose of 0.1 rad due to neutrons or high energy protons.

4.

(b) A standard person, for purposes of this regulation, is defined as an individual meeting the following anthropometric guidelines for the radiographic examination projection specified.

Body Part Thickness of Part Examination Description Thorax 23 centimeters P.A. chest Head 15 Lateral Skull Abdomen 23 A.P. Abdomen Neck 13 A.P. Cervical Spine Thorax 23 A.P. Thoracic Spine Abdomen 23 A.P. Lumbar Spine Abdomen 23 A.P. Retrograde Pyelogram (c) Actual patient skin doses may exceed those shown for the standard person or for correlated doses for persons of greater or lesser anthopometric measurements if the attending practitioner of the healing arts determines that clear and present medical/dental necessity requires such dosage increase. A written, signed statement by the practitioner explaining the need for increased patient dosage shall become a permanent part of the patients medical/dental record.

ADVISORY NOTE: The following Entrance Skin Exposure Criteria measurement protocol will be used by the State Health Department personnel to obtain data for regulatory purposes:

1) A calibrated integrating radiation measuring device is placed in the center of the primary X-ray field at the location of entrance skin of a standard person for determination of exposure in air.

2) Technical factors and other parameters such as field size and source-to-receptor distance are determined for a specific examination of a standard person.

3) For photo-timed X-ray equipment, a phantom designed to simulate attenuation of a standard person is placed between the radiation measuring device and the photo-time sensing element in a manner to minimize backscatter.

4) The radiographic equipment is energized (without patient) and the radiation measuring device reading is recorded for compliance purposes.

(2) (a) Specific area gonad shielding on patients during medical diagnostic X-ray procedures shall have a lead equivalent of at least 0.25 mm and shall be required when the following conditions exist:

1) The gonads will lie within the primary X-ray field or within close proximity (5 centimeters) despite proper beam limitation.

ADVISORY NOTE: Specific area testicular shielding also should be used during examinations of the abdominal region in which the testes may lie 5

close to the primary X-ray field. Examples of such examinations include lumbar spine, intravenous pyelogram, and abdomen films.

2) The clinical objectives of the examination will not be compromised.

ADVISORY NOTE: Each X-ray facility should compile a list of radiographic examinations for which gonad shielding is appropriate.

Specific area ovarian shielding should be used during any examination of the abdominal region when such shielding will not obscure visualization of adjacent structures required by the examination. Specific area testicular shielding should be used for all examinations of male patients in which the pubic symphysis will be visualized on the film and when such shielding will not obscure visualization of adjacent structures required by the examination.

3) The patient has a reasonable reproductive potential.

(3) Special dose limiting requirements.

(a) Protection of the embryo or fetus during radiological examination of women known to be pregnant shall be given special consideration.

ADVISORY NOTE: It is recommended that radiologic examinations of the abdomen and pelvis which do not contribute to the diagnosis of pregnant or potentially pregnant women in relation to their current illness be restricted to the first 10 days of the menstrual cycle in the case of potentially pregnant individuals and avoided entirely during known pregnancy. The attending practitioner of the healing arts retains full and complete discretion to carry out any radiographic examination considered medically necessary without regard for the phase of the menstrual cycle or fetal presence.

(b) During the entire gestation period, the maximum permissible dose equivalent to the fetus from occupational radiation exposure of the expectant mother shall not exceed 0.5 rem.

ADVISORY NOTE: Annual dose accumulation should be kept below 2 or 3 rems acquired at a more or less steady rate. In such cases, the probability of the dose to a fetus exceeding 0.5 rem before a pregnancy is recognized is small.

(c) Maximum Permissible Dose Equivalent for minors under 18 years of age shall not exceed 0.1 rem per year from occupational radiation exposure or from radiation exposure received during educational or training activities. This is to be considered to be a part of the annual dose limit of 0.5 rem appropriate for an individual in the general public, and not supplemental to it.
