INTRODUCTIONSection 20.108, "Orders Requiring Furnishing ofBioassay Services," of 10 CFR Part 20, "Standards forProtection Against Radiation," states that the AtomicEnergy Commission may incorporate provisions in anylicense requiring bioassay measurements as necessary ordesirable to aid in determining the extent of anindividual's exposure to concentrations of radioactivematerial. As used by the Commission, the term bioassayincludes in vivo measurements as well as measurementsof radioactive material in excreta.B. DISCUSSIONAnalytical work involved in the planning and,conduct of a bioassay program includes (1)determination of the conditions under which bioassaysshould be required; (2) selection of measurementtechniques and quality control criteria, measurementfrequency, and program participants; (3) specification ofactions to be taken based on measurement results, withaction points: and (4) interpretation of measurementresults in terms of the location of radioactive material inthe body, the quantity present, the rate of elimination,and the resulting dose or dose commitment. To beacceptable, any analysis of this nature requirestechnically sound concepts, models, equations, andassumptions.The International Commission on RadiologicalProtection (ICRP) has included among its publicationsreports which contain guidance on the protection ofpersonnel from intake of radioactive materials.
