[ RadSafe ] Re:OSHA reinventing the wheel

[Whitman, Richard T]

The window to coordinate OSHA and NRC is finally present.

OSHA intends to jump ahead of NRC (10CFR20)and move to the future ICRP
standards because "the NRC standards are 27 years old".

Recommend as many organizations respond to OSHA to coordinate the standards
for the first time in many decades. It is time for consistent and risk
based regulations.

       Below is a link to a Federal Register notice from OSHA
       requesting information aboutoccupational exposures toionizing
       radiation.  Their questions are breathtaking in scope.  This
       presumably reflectsthesize of their ambitions.
