This study was performed in the hot lab of nuclear medicine department in Fedail Specialized Hospital, (Khartoum) over eleven days extending from December 19th to January 30th 2016. TC99m generator was selected for the study. Measurements of dose were performed in nine points distributed in hot lab, measured by high sensitive survey meter and dose calibrator. The results showed that the hand exposure was 2.9msv during elution (eleven days)Thewhole body exposure was 0.066 mSv during elution. The summation of doses during elution led to exposure rate of 2.9 mSv at point one which was within the range of permissible dose of the hands and represented 3.8% of the maximum permissible dose (75 rem in one year) for one generator and the number of generators per year in Fedail Specialized Hospital is at the average of thirty. If only one technologist eluted all generators per year he/she would exceed the maximum permissible dose by 39%
