Sec. 35.75  Release of individuals containing unsealed byproduct 
material or implants containing byproduct material.

    (a) A licensee may authorize the release from its control of any 
individual who has been administered unsealed byproduct material or 
implants containing byproduct material if the total effective dose 
equivalent to any other individual from exposure to the released 
individual is not likely to exceed 5 mSv (0.5 rem). \1\

    \1\ NUREG-1556, Vol. 9 (draft), ``Consolidated Guidance About 
Materials Licenses: Program-Specific Guidance About Medical Licenses,'' 
describes methods for calculating doses to other individuals and 
contains tables of activities not likely to cause doses exceeding 5 mSv 
(0.5 rem).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (b) A licensee shall provide the released individual, or the 
individual's parent or guardian, with instructions, including written 
instructions, on actions recommended to maintain doses to other 
individuals as low as is reasonably achievable if the total effective 
dose equivalent to any other individual is likely to exceed 1 mSv (0.1 
rem). If the total effective dose equivalent to a nursing infant or 
child could exceed 1 mSv (0.1 rem) assuming there were no interruption 
of breast-feeding, the instructions must also include--
    (1) Guidance on the interruption or discontinuation of breast-
feeding; and
    (2) Information on the potential consequences, if any, of failure to 
follow the guidance.
    (c) A licensee shall maintain a record of the basis for authorizing 
the release of an individual in accordance with Sec. 35.2075(a).
    (d) The licensee shall maintain a record of instructions provided to 
a breast-feeding female in accordance with Sec. 35.2075(b).
