Question 216: Will Regulatory Guide 10.8 be revised to
include guidance on monitoring external dose (and
demonstrating compliance with the annual occupational dose
limits) for health personnel working in several hospitals
simultaneously? [Note: This is a common practice for
physicians in Hawaii and there is no good mechanism for
licensees to track where the physicians work outside the
facility]
Answer: Appendix X to Regulatory Guide 10.8, Rev.2, was
developed to provide guidance on how to implement revised
Part 20 at a medical facility. This guide will be revised
in its entirety in the future to address the changes in 10
CFR Part 20. (Reference: 10 CFR 20.1502)
