Thank you Mirine and Veronica for this great info, ...my youngest son is
just starting the Nuc Eng program at UTK so I am forwarding this info to him
so he will be up on this issue should he come across any Bf moms over the
next 4-5 yrs in college.
For some odd reason I like writing exam questions. Consider reviewing the
IBLCE requirements (citing research/sources) and submitting some IBCLC exam
questions. I am not an expert in the nuclear material exposure to Bf moms
area, but anyway here are some *just for fun* sample questions based on
your post:
1. To help protect breastfeeding children of lactating women who work in
Nuclear Power Plants, a document on breastfeeding and radioisotopes was
developed by the:
a) Division of Radiation Safety
b) International Commission for Radiation Protection
c) Regulatory Commission for Nuclear Power Plants
2. A breastfeeding radiation worker is capable of transmitting radioactive
material to her child if she herself receives an uptake that is:
a) external
b) internal
c) external or internal
3. Not all radioactive material is a concern to breast-feeding women;
regarding radioiodine, the
potential for uptake and subsequent transmission to a child via breast milk
is greatest for forms that are:
a) volatile
b) in-volatile
c) both a and b
4. A breast-feeding woman may choose to declare her breast-feeding status
to
the:
a) Division of Radiation Safety
b) International Commission of Radiation Protection
c) Regulatory Commission for Nuclear Power Plants
5. A declared breast-feeding radiation worker will have her potential for
internal uptake assessed and precautions agreed upon so that the child's
dose will be below the general public per year millirem dose limit of:
a) 100
b) 200
c) 300
6. The declared breast-feeding worker may rescind her breast-feeding
declaration:
a) at her discretion
b) when her physician provides authorization
c) at the time of complete breastmilk weaning
Yey, that was fun, ...crazy huh?
