Nuclear Regulatory Commission January 14, 2005 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is denying a petition for rulemaking submitted by Sander C. Perle, ICN Worldwide Dosimetry (now Global Dosimetry Solutions, Inc.) (PRM-20-25). The petitioner requested that the NRC amend its regulations to require that any dosimeter, without exception, that is used to report dose of record and demonstrate compliance with the dose limits specified in the Commission's regulations be processed and evaluated by a dosimetry processor holding accreditation from the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) of the National Institute of Standards and Technology; the definition of ``Individual monitoring devices'' (individual monitoring equipment) be revised to mean any device used by licensees to show compliance with the Commission's regulations; and ``electronic dosimeters and optically stimulated dosimeters'' be added as additional examples of individual monitoring devices.
