NATIONAL PRIMARY DRINKING WATER REGULATIONS

[Jean-Michel Mure <jm.mure@andra.fr>]

Hello radsafers,

I cannot find in the US code of federal regulations (40 CFR Part 141) the maximum permissible levels for uranium (in ppb) and radon (pCi/l) ? Are there some specific values for these two nuclides ?

Is this regulation meant to be modified sooner or later ?


Regards,
