RE: NATIONAL PRIMARY DRINKING WATER REGULATIONS

["Simmons, Charlie" <CSimmons@kilstock.com>]

EPA just announced proposed changes to drinking water standards for radon;
search the Nov. 3 Federal Register for the proposed rule at

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,
