NRC CONSIDERING REVISING RADIATION PROTECTION REGULATIONS
Posted 12-10-2009
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is seeking public comment on potential changes to the NRC’s current radiation protection regulations to achieve greater alignment between the regulations and the 2007 recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) contained in ICRP Publication 103. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is looking at implementing ICRP Report 103, which includes a reduction in the annual personnel exposure limit from 50 Sv to 20 Sv. These limits would apply beyond Nuclear Medicine departments and include Cardiology and Interventional Radiology workers. AAPM is responding to NRC on this issue, but individual comments are welcome. Please see http://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/regulatory/rulemaking/opt-revise.html for more information. The Federal Register notice can be found at: http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2009/pdf/E9-15950.pdf. If you have input that AAPM should consider in drafting its response, please send your comments to Lynne Fairobent, Manager of Legislative and Regulatory Affairs at lynne@aapm.org by February 1, 2010.
