Re: NCRP/NRC recommendations on dose limits for hot particles



The NRC staff plans to review the NCRP report, due out very soon, and to develop a proposed rule that would provide dose limit guidelines for dose from hot particles to the skin. In the interim, Information Notice (IN) No. 90-48, "Enforcement Policy for Hot Particle Exposures," continues to be in effect.

Dear Colleagues
Some weeks ago radsafe carried some discussion of NRC 
interim guidance which gave a significant relaxation in the skin dose 
limit for hot particle exposures.  This was on the basis of an as yet 
unpublished NCRP report - which I understand is to be published very 
soon. What is the current status of the NRC proposal?
