		(1) if an individual were continuously present in the area, may result in the individual's receiving a dose in excess of 0.002 millisievert or two millirems in any one hour;  or  
		(2) cause or are likely to cause an  
			(A) individual to receive a dose to the whole body in any period of one calendar year in excess of one millisievert or 100 millirems; or   
			(B) unborn fetus to receive a dose during the entire period of gestation in excess of five millisieverts or 0.5 rems.  
	(b)  A person may submit a written request to the department for proposed limits of ionizing radiation in an uncontrolled area in excess of those specified in (a) of this section resulting from the person's possession or use of sources of ionizing radiation.  A written request submitted under this subsection must include information on anticipated average ionizing radiation levels and anticipated occupancy times for each uncontrolled area involved.  The department may approve the proposed limits if the applicant demonstrates to the satisfaction of the department that the proposed limits are not likely to cause an individual to receive a dose in excess of one millisievert or 100 millirems to the whole body in any period of one calendar year.
