Mr. Roger L. Suppes, Chief

Bureau of Radiation Protection

Ohio Department of Health

P. O. Box 118

Columbus, OH 43266-0118

Dear Mr. Suppes:

As requested, we have reviewed the proposed regulations in Ohio Rule 3701:1-52, ìLicenses

and Radiation Safety Requirements for Irradiators,î dated October 29, 2001. The proposed

regulations will replace the referenced NRC regulations currently in place. The proposed

regulations also are in response to the amendments identified in the enclosed State Regulation

Status (SRS) Data Sheet. The regulations were reviewed by comparison to the equivalent NRC

regulations in 10 CFR Part 36. We discussed our review of the regulations with Mike Snee on

December 7, 2001.

As a result of our review, we have one editorial comment as enclosed. Please note that we

have limited our review to regulations required for compatibility and/or health and safety. Under

our current procedure, a finding that a State regulation meets the compatibility and health and

safety categories of the equivalent NRC regulation may only be made based on a review of the

final State regulation. However, we have determined that if your proposed regulations were

adopted without significant change, they would meet the compatibility and health and safety

categories established in Office of State and Tribal Programs (STP) Procedure SA-200.

We request that when the proposed regulations are adopted and published as final regulations,

a copy of the ìas publishedî regulations be provided to us for review. As requested in STP

Procedure SA-201, Review of State Regulations (November 10, 1998), please highlight any

changes and send one hard copy to STP.

The SRS Data Sheet summarizes our knowledge of the status of other Ohio regulations. 

Please let us know if you note any inaccuracies or have any comments on the information

contained in the SRS Data Sheet. This letter, including the SRS Data Sheet, is posted on the

STP Web Site: http://www.hsrd.ornl.gov/nrc/rulemaking.htm

If you have any questions regarding the comments, the compatibility and health categories,

or any of the NRC regulations used in the review, please contact me or James Lynch at

(630) 829-9661 or JLL2@NRC.GOV.

Sincerely,

/RA/

Josephine M. Piccone, Deputy Director

Office of State and Tribal Programs
