Latest version.
- All persons who are associated with the operation of an X-ray system are subject to the occupational exposure limits and the requirements for the determination of the doses which are stated in NAC 459.325 and 459.365. When protective clothing or devices are worn on portions of the body and a monitoring device or devices are required, at least one device must be utilized as follows:
1. When an apron is worn, the monitoring device must be worn at the collar outside the apron.
2. The dose to the whole body, based on the maximum dose attributed to any one critical organ, which are the gonads, the blood forming organs, head and trunk or lens of the eye, must be recorded in the reports required by NAC 459.3665. If more than one device is used and a record is made of the data, each dose must be identified with the area where the device was worn on the body.
Ê Exposure of a personnel monitoring device to indicate deceptively a dose delivered to a person is prohibited.
