NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS); Meeting of the
ACRS Subcommittee on Radiation Protection and Nuclear Materials
The ACRS Subcommittee on Radiation Protection and Nuclear Materials
will hold a meeting on May 18, 2010, Room T-2B1, 11545 Rockville Pike,
Rockville, Maryland. The entire meeting will be open to public
attendance. The agenda for the subject meeting shall be as follows:
Tuesday, May 18, 2010--8:30 a.m. until 12 p.m.
The Subcommittee will discuss the Rulemaking on 10 CFR part 40
(Proposed Rulemaking on Distribution of Source Material to Exempt
Persons and to General Licensees and Revision of General License and
Exemptions) amending 10 CFR parts 30, 40, 70, 170, and 171. These
proposed amendments
[[Page 27841]]
add new specific licensing requirements, reporting requirements, and
fees for the initial distribution of products and materials containing
source material for receipt under an exemption or the general license
in Sec. 40.22, ``Small quantities of source material.'' Source
material is uranium and thorium or ores containing uranium and thorium
in concentrations greater than 0.05 percent by weight of the uranium or
thorium. In addition, the proposed amendments modify the existing
possession and use requirements for the general license in Sec. 40.22
to better align the requirements with current health and safety
standards. Finally, the proposed amendments revise, clarify, or delete
certain licensing exemptions (also known as ``unimportant quantities'')
in order to make the requirements for those exemptions more risk
informed.
The Subcommittee will hear presentations by and hold discussions
with representatives of the NRC staff, stakeholders, and other
interested persons regarding this matter. The Subcommittee will gather
information, analyze relevant issues and facts, and formulate proposed
positions and actions, as appropriate, for deliberation by the Full
Committee.
Members of the public desiring to provide oral statements and/or
written comments should notify the Designated Federal Official (DFO),
Mr. Neil Coleman (Telephone 301-415-7656 or E-mail
[email protected]) five days prior to the meeting, if possible, so
that appropriate arrangements can be made. Thirty-five hard copies of
each presentation or handout should be provided to the DFO thirty
minutes before the meeting. In addition, one electronic copy of each
presentation should be e-mailed to the DFO one day before the meeting.
If an electronic copy cannot be provided within this timeframe,
presenters should provide the DFO with a CD containing each
presentation at least thirty minutes before the meeting. Electronic
recordings will be permitted only during those portions of the meeting
that are open to the public. Detailed procedures for the conduct of and
participation in ACRS meetings were published in the Federal Register
