Hi Jack.

You refer to the Euratom Directives, of which there are a few, and which
are regularly 'updated'.  Many have 'a plurality'  (meaning a hundred or
so) of pages of Isotopes etc. And seem very specific.

Germany seems to have tighter local regs, having something called Betrieb
Algerbnis or something like that which I understand relates to local
'Permission to Operate'.

In the UK we have the Ionizing Radiation Regs, which I think cover
everything down to 10keV (low level X-Rays) with maximum dose rates of
5uSv/h at 500mm etc.  

That may help a bit,  I thought some vague knowledge may be better than
none at all.

Good luck,
