Dear Mr. Foldesi:

We have reviewed the final revision to the Virginia regulations 12 VAC 5-481 Virginia Radiation

Protection Regulations, received by our office on October 4, 2007. These regulations were

reviewed by comparison to the equivalent Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) rules in 10

CFR Parts 19, 20, 30, 31, 32, 34, 35, 36, 39, 40, 61, 70, 71, and 150. We discussed our review

of the regulations with Michael Welling on December 19, 2007.

As a result of our review, we have 31 comments that have been identified in the enclosure. 

Please note that we have limited our review to regulations required for compatibility and/or

health and safety. We have determined that if these regulations are revised, incorporating our

comments and without other significant change, they would meet the compatibility and health

and safety categories established in the Office of Federal and State Materials and

Environmental Management Programs (FSME) Procedure SA-200.

We request that when you revise your regulations to address our comments, a copy of the “as

published” regulations be provided to us for review. As requested in FSME Procedure SA-201,

“Review of State Regulatory Requirements,” please highlight the location of any changes made

by Virginia, in response to our comments, and provide a copy to Division of Materials Safety

and State Agreements, FSME.

The SRS Data Sheet summarizes our knowledge of the status of other Virginia regulations, as

indicated. 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 FSME website: http://www.hsrd.ornl.gov/nrc/rulemaking.htm. 

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

categories, or any of the NRC regulations used in the review, please contact Kathleen

Schneider, State Regulation Review Coordinator at 301-415-2320 (email: KXS@nrc.gov),
