AB Recent changes in Standards for Protection Against Radiation, 10 CFR Part 20, legislated the long-suggested radiation dose limit of 5 mSv (0.5 rem) for declared pregnant women. This paper describes the current regulations regarding the declared pregnant woman, reviews associated NRC guides, offers commentary for ALARA exposures and discusses methods of compliance with this new regulatory limit.
