• (2) Only section 3 of these Regulations applies to a licensee in respect of a dose of radiation received by or committed to a person

  • (a) in the course of the person’s examination, diagnosis or treatment, as directed by a medical practitioner who is qualified to examine, diagnose or treat the person under the applicable provincial legislation; or

  • (b) [Repealed, SOR/2007-208, s. 5]

3. When a nuclear substance is administered to a person for therapeutic purposes, the licensee shall, before the person leaves the place where the substance is administered, inform the person of methods for reducing the exposure of others — including anyone providing care and assistance — to radiation from the person.

4. Every licensee shall implement a radiation protection program and shall, as part of that program,

• (a) keep the amount of exposure to radon progeny and the effective dose and equivalent dose received by and committed to persons as low as is reasonably achievable, social and economic factors being taken into account, through the implementation of

  • (i) management control over work practices,

  • (ii) personnel qualification and training,

  • (iii) control of occupational and public exposure to radiation, and

  • (iv) planning for unusual situations; and

• (b) ascertain the quantity and concentration of any nuclear substance released as a result of the licensed activity

  • (i) by direct measurement as a result of monitoring, or

  • (ii) if the time and resources required for direct measurement as a result of monitoring outweigh the usefulness of ascertaining the quantity and concentration using that method, by estimating them.

• 5. (1) For the purpose of keeping a record of doses of radiation in accordance with section 27 of the Act, every licensee shall ascertain and record the magnitude of exposure to radon progeny of each person referred to in that section, as well as the effective dose and equivalent dose received by and committed to that person.

• (2) A licensee shall ascertain the magnitude of exposure to radon progeny and the effective dose and equivalent dose

  • (a) by direct measurement as a result of monitoring; or

  • (b) if the time and resources required for direct measurement as a result of monitoring outweigh the usefulness of ascertaining the amount of exposure and doses using that method, by estimating them.
