Question 35: Do posting requirements apply to the hospital
room of a hospitalized nuclear medicine patient if the
patient received less than 30 mCi and the dose rate at 1
meter is greater than 5 mrem/hr?
Answer: No, the hospital room is not required to be
posted provided that the provision of §20.1903 (b) (2) is
also met. (Note that only one of the three conditions in
§20.1903 (b) (1) needs to be met and that one has been
met). Reference: 10 CFR 20.1903 (b) (1))
