RECENTLY AVAILABLE NEAT STUFF AND OTHER MISCELLANEA:
Medical/X-ray
1. The final rule for 10 CFR 35 was published today in the Federal
Register "10 CFR Parts 20, 32, and 35 Medical Use of Byproduct Material;
Final Rule" FR Vol. 67, No. 79, April 24, 2002 pages 20250 - 20397.
Federal
Register notices can be accessed at
<http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/aces/aces140.html> Note that it must
be
downloaded as three separate documents: pages 20250-20298; 20299-20348;
20349-20397.
As a related issue, revised draft NUREG 1556 Vol. 9 (March
2002)"Consolidated Guidance About Materials Licenses Program-Specific
Guidance About Medical Use Licenses" is available for comment at
http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/nuregs/staff/sr1556/
2. "The Mammography Quality Standards Act Final Regulations
Modifications
and Additions to Policy Guidance Help System #4; Guidance for Industry
and
FDA" (March 2002) is available at:
<http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/mammography/pubs/1401.pdf>
3. "Diagnostic Reference Levels In Medical Imaging: Review And
Additional Advice" produced by Committee 3 of the ICRP is available at:
<http://www.icrp.org/pdf/DRL_for_web.pdf>
General
4. An amazing selection of topics were covered at the IRPA 10
conference. Check out the Conference Proceedings - full text versions
of
most of the presentations are available. Begin with the Topical or
Scientific Sessions links.
<http://www.irpa.net/pub/pr/index.html>
5. The NRC Regulatory Guides for Division 1 and 8 are once again on the
NRC website. As a bonus, some of the RegGuides currently available are
in
electronic form for the first time (at least at the NRC site), e.g.,
8.18,
8.21, 8.23, 8.24, 8.25. They can be accessed at
<http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/reg-guides/>
6. If you don't subscribe to Radiation Protection Dosimetry, you might
want to consider purchasing Vol. 98 No. 1, 2002 "Radionuclide and
Radiation
Protection Data Handbook 2002." It contains individual data sheets on
144
nuclides. Each sheet contains such information as: emission energy and
intensity; A1 and A2 values; exposure factors for point source, plane
source, glass vial, contact with plastic syringe; skin dose factors;
recommended shielding; CEDE per unit intake values; ALIs; and
recommendations regarding bench top or fume hood operation.
Keep in mind that the new ICRP dose models are being used
here. For info: <http://www.ntp.org.uk/prod/prodHR_135.html>
7. UNSCEAR 2001 "Hereditary Effects of Radiation" is available
in PDF format at <http://www.unscear.org/2001report.htm>
8. History buffs might want to visit the web site of the
"Society for the Historical Preservation of the Manhattan Project." It
contains a great deal of information and many useful links.
<http://www.childrenofthemanhattanproject.org>
9. The draft ICRP report "Basic Anatomical and Physiological Data for
Use in Radiological Protection: Reference Values" can be downloaded at
<http://www.icrp.org/download_anatomical.htm>
Dosimetry
10. A new website devoted to dosimetry is on-line. RADAR (Radiation Dose
Assessment Resource). "Our goal is to bring together the various
resources
that exist in the areas of internal and external dose assessment,
integrate
them into a single system, and put them in your hands as quickly and
efficiently as possible." <http://www.doseinfo-radar.com>
11. The NRC published a final rule changing the regulations
in 10 CFR 20 that deal with the calculation of the shallow dose
equivalent
(SDE). The new regulation requires that the calculation be over ten
square
centimeters rather than one. "Revision of Skin Dose Limit" Vol. 67, No.
66,
April 5, 2002, pages 16298-16304. Federal Register notices can be
accessed
at:
<http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/aces/aces140.html>
12. There were a number of errors in the dose coefficient tables in
Annexe D of ICRP 88 (2001) "Doses to the Embryo and Fetus from Intakes
of
Radionuclides by the Mother"; The corrected tables (p 353-515) can be
accessed at <http://www.elsevier.com/homepage/sab/icrp88>
Decommissioning
13. Draft NUREG-1757 Vol. 1 "Consolidated NMSS Decommissioning
Guidance - Decommissioning Process" (January 2002) is now available for
comment. Among other things it identifies seven categories of
decommissioning in contrast to the four identified in NUREG -0241. It
is
available at
<http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/nuregs/staff/>
14. NRC "Regulatory Issue Summary 2002-02: Lessons Learned Related to
Recently Submitted Decommissioning Plans and License Termination Plans"
is
available at
<http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/gen-comm/reg-issues/2002/>
A Couple of Department of Energy Items
15. DOE Handbook 1105-2002 "Radiological Training for Tritium
Facilities" (February 2002)
<http://tis.eh.doe.gov/whs/rhmwp/RST/tritium.htm>
16. The following draft Implementation Guide was released April 2002.
DOE G 441.1-XX, "Control And Release Of Property With Residual
Radioactive
Material for use with DOE 5400.5, Radiation Protection of the Public and
the
Environment"
