Regulatory Guides Available Via Internet -Reply

[Cheryl Trottier <CAT1@nrc.gov>]

I don't know, I think most people understand what he meant by "standards" - I
hope so anyway.  We'll be watchful though.

Many radsafers have inquired on many occasions about the
availability of NRC Regulatory Guides via the Internet.  I
wanted to pass along that with the generosity of the NRC,
many new Reg Guides are now available in the acrobat portable
document format.  This was done by Derek Hagemeyer of SAIC
who is web master for the NRC Occupational Exposure Web pages.
Many of the division 8 reg guides were already there, but now they
have supplemented those with many of the "old standards" that
are in great use.

Instructions for obtaining the adobe acrobat reader free of charge
are also there.

Here's what is now there:
