Parts 4731.2000 to 4731.2950 establish standards for protection against ionizing radiation resulting from activities conducted under licenses issued by the commissioner. Parts 4731.2000 to 4731.2950 apply to persons licensed by the commissioner to receive, possess, use, transfer, or dispose of radioactive, source, or special nuclear material under this chapter.
It is the purpose of parts 4731.2000 to 4731.2950 to control the receipt, possession, use, transfer, and disposal of licensed material by a 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 parts 4731.2000 to 4731.2950.
The limits in parts 4731.2000 to 4731.2950 do not apply to doses due to background radiation, exposure of patients to radiation for the purpose of medical diagnosis or therapy, exposure from individuals administered radioactive material and released under part 4731.4427, or exposure from voluntary participation in medical research programs.
