Hi,
We don't have any formal guidance other than the procedural guidance on
reporting to RP. We have not seen any problems with the "run of mill" tests
involving Tc-99m, F-18, I-123 and even Tl-201.
Thyroid ablation using I-131 is the problem procedure. We see very few of
these and we handle them on a case by case basis. We evaluate what the person
does, where they work, etc. and develop a plan that everyone agrees to. Our
last one was 6 years ago.

Subject: Powernet: Instructions to workers following Radiopharmaceutical uptake
for diagnostic tests or therapy.
Palo Verde would like to know does your site have any formal guidance that it
gives personnel following Radiopharmaceutical uptake for diagnostic tests or
therapy?
Do you have any guidance for them working around others outside of
RCAs? Working around others outside of RCA's while others may be in possession
of their TLDs? Break areas? Contamination control? The location of Radiation
Monitors outside of the RCA, so they can avoid them?
Could you share your guidance with us?
