## Text

(a) This subchapter establishes standards for protection
 against ionizing radiation resulting from activities conducted under licenses
 issued by the commission and establishes minimum standards for all persons
 who dispose of radioactive materials.
(b) The rules in this subchapter are designed to
 control the receipt, possession, use, transfer, and disposal of licensed radioactive
 material by any commission 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 this subchapter.
 However, nothing in this subchapter shall be construed as limiting actions
 that may be necessary to protect health and safety.
(c) Except as specifically provided in other parts
 of this chapter, this subchapter applies to persons licensed by the commission
 to receive, possess, use, transfer, or dispose of radioactive material. The
 limits in this subchapter do not apply to doses due to background radiation,
 to exposure of patients to radiation for the purpose of medical diagnosis
 or therapy, or to voluntary participation in medical research programs.
(d) Nothing in this subchapter relieves the licensee
 from complying with other applicable federal, state, and local regulations
 governing any other toxic or hazardous properties of materials that shall
 be disposed of under the rules in this chapter.
