the NRC published for public comment
a document entitled, ‘‘White Paper on a
Conceptual Example of a Proposed Risk
Management Regulatory Framework
Policy Statement (ADAMS Accession
No. ML13273A517).’’ The conceptual

protections to: Ensure appropriate
personnel, barriers, and controls to

prevent, contain, and mitigate possible
inadvertent exposure to radioactive
material according to the hazard
present, the relevant scenarios, and the
associated uncertainties; and ensure that
the risks resulting from the failure of
some or all of the established barriers
and controls, including human errors,
are maintained acceptably low. The
white paper is an illustration of the
staff’s work in progress and is expected
to be modified as both internal and
external review is solicited and
considered.
The public comment period for the
white paper would have closed on
January 10, 2014, however, the NRC has
decided to extend the comment period
until February 28, 2014, because it was
recognized with the holidays,
insufficient time had been given for
review and comment.
II. Public Meeting
The NRC staff plans to hold a public
meeting on January 30, 2014. The
meeting time and location has not yet
been set, however, the final agenda and
any meeting materials will be posted no
fewer than 10 days prior to the meeting
on the NRC’s public Web site at
https://meetings.nrc.gov/pmns/mtg. The
purpose of this public meeting is for the
NRC staff to answer questions, to
provide any clarification to the white
paper, and to solicit early stakeholder
comments. This meeting will be a
Category 3 public meeting and
stakeholders wishing to provide a
presentation should send a request to
Mary Drouin at 301–251–7574 or by
