Re: NRC IEN 84-40 and EPA Emergency Worker Guidance (Need Reference)

[Tony Hedges <thedges1@TWCNY.RR.COM>]

Jim,

Guidance on emergency worker doses is in an EPA document titled "Manual of 

Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents ". 

The document also provides guidance to local and federal authorities on the 

protective actions to take to protect members of the public. The current 

document number is EPA-400. It was revised in 1991. Prior to 1991 it was 

EPA-520. I don't think an electronic copy is on the EPA web site, I have 

looked several times.
