In compliance with its congressional mandate to oversee the radiation safety of workers at nuclear power plants, the NRC asked Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) to create a center to help monitor efforts that were likely to reduce occupational radiation exposure. The NRC project required the ALARA Center to evaluate dose-reduction research and the ALARA-related programs, and to note any areas where additional effort may be fruitful. The Center also was directed to inform the NRC on promising research and developments related to ALARA that were being carried out abroad, and to examine areas where international collaboration may be valuable. This document discusses the objectives of the ALARA Center.
