Dear Mr. Conley: 

We received an email from Isabelle Busenitz on January 29, 2008 regarding a bill that has been 

introduced in the Kansas legislature to repeal statute K.S.A. 48-1604, which is part of your 

Radiation Control Statutes. It is our understanding that no other Radiation Control Statutes are 

being repealed at this time. We discussed this matter with Isabelle Busenitz on January 29, 

2008. 

We have reviewed the Kansas Legislation Article 16 B Nuclear Energy Development and 

Radiation Control Act Kansas Statutes, K.S.A. 48-1601 through 48-1625 pertaining to Radiation 

Control, and specifically statute K.S.A. 48-1604 Conduct of studies concerning changes in the 

laws and regulations with a view to nuclear industrial development. We have determined that 

the repeal of statute K.S.A. 48-1604 will not affect Kansas=s ability to promulgate rules, 

regulations, and other legally binding requirements for the control of radioactive material and 

therefore will not affect Kansas=s Agreement State status. 

If you have any questions regarding this review, please contact Monica Orendi at (301) 415-

3938 (e-mail: mlo1@nrc.gov). 

Sincerely,
