NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION 

WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 

June 13, 2016 

Mr. Earl Fordham, Deputy Director 

Office of Radiation Protection 

Washington Department of Health 

P.O. Box 47827 

Olympia, WA 98504-7827 

Dear Mr. Fordham: 

We have reviewed the proposed revisions to the Washington Radiological Health Rules, 

received by our office on May 3, 2016. These regulations were reviewed by comparison to the 

equivalent U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) rules and the requirements of the seven 

amendments identified in the enclosed State Regulation Status (SRS) Data Sheet. We 

discussed our review of the regulations with Curt Demaris on June 10, 2016. 

As a result of our review, we have 16 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. Under our current procedure, a finding that the Washington regulations meet 

the compatibility and health and safety categories of the equivalent NRC regulation may only be 

made based on a review of the final Washington regulations. However, we have determined 

that if your proposed regulations were adopted, incorporating our comments and without other 

significant change, they would meet the compatibility and health and safety categories 

established in the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards (NMSS) Procedure SA-200, 

“Compatibility Categories and Health and Safety Identification for NRC Regulations and Other

Program Elements.” 

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

a copy of the “as published” regulations be provided to us for review. As requested in NMSS 

Procedure SA-201, “Review of State Regulatory Requirements,” please highlight the final 

changes, and provide a copy to Division of Material Safety, State, Tribal, and Rulemaking 

Programs, NMSS. 

The SRS Data Sheet summarizes our knowledge of the status of other Washington 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 NMSS State Communication Portal: https://scp.nrc.gov/rulemaking.html. 
E. Fordham -2-

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