...Radionuclides in Sediment.......

The USNRC proposed decontamination/decommissioning rule can be found in the 
Federal Register Vol. 59, No. 161.  As I understand the comment period is up as 
of the end of February 1996.  However, we probably will see enforcement sometime
in the summer of 1996.  Additonally, the numbers are promulgated via RESRAD on a
site by site basis.

The EPA, USNRC, and USDOE are currently developing guidelines for 
radiological contamination at federal sites.  The proposed CFR listing 
is 40 CFR 196.  The current information that I have is that the dose 
limit is to be 15 millirem (0.15 milliSv) from all pathways.  However, 
I am not too sure if the numbers have been finalized prior to the 
request for comment listing.  It is my understanding that the numbers 
are being developed using Resrad 5.19 and the scenario varies with 
circumstances.
