RE: U of Illionois News Release - research Reactor Decommissioning

["Flanigan, Floyd" <Floyd.Flanigan@nmcco.com>]

This is a bit off topic, but I have a habit of going off topic now and then. I would like to know what the rem/dollar ratio is for as many power plants and/or any other operations out there which utilize the ALARA methodology. I'm one of those annoying "ALARA People" and I need to develope a stronger basis for my program than "that's the number we have always used". Any information would be greatly appreciated. Please include the name of the plant/organization along with the dollar/rem ratio.

 

Thanx in advance,

Subject: U of Illionois News Release - research Reactor Decommissioning

Importance: High







I saw a recent news release - from yesterday in fact - from the U of I that stated that:



 



 "Congress recently authorized funding to assist with the start of the decommissioning process of selected inactive reactors, including the one at Illinois."



 



I was not aware of this - is there anyone out there who can point me to this authorization?



 



Thanks
