RE: NRC Proposal

Alex:

I think you are referring to NRC's proposed 10 millirems TEDE per year 
CONSTRAINT rule due to air emissions at non-nuclear power plant licensees. 
 This is all related to EPA's proposal to rescind their NESHAPs rule.  This 
transition from EPA to NRC is under "progress" at this time, and I have no 
idea how long it is going to take for these two agencies to issue the final 
rule.

Refer to Federal Register, Vol. 60, No.239, Page 63984, dated 12-13-95 for 
details on
NRC's proposed " Constraint Level" rule, and Fed. Reg., Vol 60, No.188, 
Page 50161, dated
9-28-95 for EPA's proposal to rescind this rule from their jurisdiction.

NRC has proposed to tie the constraint level to the ALARA level, and if a 
licensee exceeded
the 10 mr/yr level, it would have to be reported to NRC.

Good Luck

Subject:  NRC Proposal

Dear Radsafers

I have heard that the NRC has a proposal before it which states that the
effective dose to members of the public from non-nuclear power facilities 
due to
atmospheric release of radionuclides is to be less than 10mrem per year.

Does anyone know if this proposal has been approved?? Any other 
information
would also be appreciated.

Many thanks
