ABSTRACT

This report is an assessment of potential radiation doses associated with the current
exemptions for byproduct and source material in Title 10, of the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR). Doses were estimated for the normal life cycle of a particular
product or material, covering distribution and transport, intended or expected
routine use, and disposal using dose assessment methods consistent with the current
requirements in 10 CFR Part 20. In addition, assessments of potential doses due to
accidents and misuse were estimated. Also presented is an assessment of potential
radiological impacts associated with selected products containing byproduct material
which currently may only be used under a general license and may be potential
candidates for exemption from licensing requirements.
