Note 1 In the case of radionuclides not specified elsewhere in this Part, the quantities specified in this entry are to be used unless the Executive has approved some other quantity for that radionuclide.
Note 2 Nuclides carrying the suffix “+” in the above table represent parent nuclides and their progeny as listed in the table below. The dose contributions for those progeny are taken into account in the dose calculation (thus requiring only the exemption level of the parent radionuclide to be considered).
