OSTI ID:6646501

On March 7, 1989, the EPA published in the Federal Register (54 Fed. Reg. 9612) proposed National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs) for radionuclides emitted to air from 12 source categories. The proposal requested public comments on the proposed NESHAPs and the specific risk management approaches that were used to develop them. Informal public hearings were held in Washington, DC and Las Vegas, Nevada to give interested parties an opportunity to present their views, and written comments were solicited. Comments were received from almost 300 individuals and organizations representing state and federal agencies, public interest groups, industry and private citizens. The document addresses the comments relating to compliance procedures, modeling, risk assessment, and those specific to each source category.
