Re[2]: NRRPT vs 10CFR835

[Steven.Rima@DOEGJPO.COM (Steven Rima)]

     A number of people have said that we do not need to address this topic 
     in 10 CFR 835 because it is in the radcon manual. We need to keep in 
     mind in this discussion that the radcon manual is now "guidance" and 
     that compliance with it is no longer mandatory. Leaving something out 
     of 835 because it is in the radcon manual is not something we should 
     be doing or considering.

A new (January 1997) draft is available for comment at 
http://apollo.osti.gov/html/techstds/tsdrafts/tsdrafts.html
In this new draft 642.5 still "encourages" NRRPT, but 642.6 which said 
"Sites are encouraged to give credit ..." is omitted.
