RADIATION HEALTH PROTECTION MANUAL
Bureau of Medicine and Surgery
Publication Date:
Aug 1, 2001
Scope:
(1) These regulations are intended for observance during
peacetime by all Navy and Marine Corps activities possessing or using sources
of ionizing radiation which may affect the health of personnel. These
standards do not apply to the exposure of an individual to ionizing radiation
when used for the diagnosis or treatment of medical or dental conditions of
that individual. Personnel not employed by the Department of the Navy shall
comply in all respects with these regulations when engaged in a Navy-sponsored
program or operation. It is recognized that these regulations may not be
applicable to procedures initiated after an attack in which nuclear weapons
are used; however, the provisions of these regulations, insofar as they are
feasible, shall remain in effect after such an attack.
Purpose. (1) This manual provides the radiation health
requirements applicable to Navy and Marine Corps radiation protection
programs. A radiation protection program may be defined as the sum of all
methods, plans, and procedures used to protect the health and environment of
personnel from exposure to sources of ionizing radiation. It includes the
radiation health program and radiological controls program. A radiation health
protection program is not an end in itself; its purpose is to provide the
means to preserve and maintain the health of personnel while they accomplish
necessary and purposeful work in or around areas contaminated with radioactive
material or areas where they are exposed to ionizing radiation.
