NRC proposal



Note that the NRC regulated approach for NRC licensees
relieves you of several possibly onerous provisions of
the EPA rule:
  EPA requires a report if COMPLY calculates a dose in
excess of 1 mrem*.
  EPA requires a submission for a new activity that is
projected to exceed 0.1 mrem*.

Neither of these provisions are in the NRC rule.
While the term 'gentler, kinder' regulator might be used,
it should be avoided in order to maintain NRC's credibility
with those of other interests.

*Annual whole body public doses as calculated by COMPLY.
Not to be confused with actual people doses.

A little risk adds spice to life.
