The status of NRC rulemaking to establish radiological criteria for decommissioning
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing to amend 10CFR20 of its regulations to provide specific radiological criteria for the decommissioning of soils and structures. The NRC is using an enhanced participatory process for developing the criteria. This process included a series of seven workshops held from January through May 1993 during which the staff obtained comments on the scope, issues, and approaches that must be addressed in establishing the radiological criteria for decommissioning. The staff also established a dedicated electronic-bulletin-board system for disseminating information and obtaining comments on the rulemaking. In addition, the staff conducted eight meetings in four cities during which comments were obtained on the proposed scope of the Generic Environmental Impact Statement (GEIS) supporting the rulemaking.
