Which regulation outlines the standard for protection against radiation hazards?

The regulation that outlines the standard for protection against radiation hazards is 10 CFR Part 20. This part of the Code of Federal Regulations sets forth the standards for the protection of workers and the general public from radiation hazards in various settings. It establishes the requirements for dose limits, radiation monitoring, and safety protocols to minimize exposure to radiation.

While 10 CFR Part 35 pertains specifically to the use of byproduct material in medical applications (primarily focusing on administration and safety in medical use), it does not provide a comprehensive outline for overall radiation protection standards applicable across all sectors. The other options, such as 10 CFR Part 19, primarily deal with notices, instructions, and reports to workers regarding radiation hazards, while 10 CFR Part 71 addresses the packaging and transportation of radioactive materials. Therefore, the focus of these regulations is different, with only Part 20 providing a comprehensive framework for radiation protection standards.
