NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

NUREG–1717, Systematic Radiological

Assessment of Exemptions for Source

and Byproduct Materials

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission

has issued draft NUREG–1717,

‘‘Systematic Radiological Assessment of

Exemptions for Source and Byproduct

Materials.’’ This report is an assessment

of potential radiation doses associated

with the current exemptions for

byproduct and source material in Title

10, of the Code of Federal Regulations

(CFR). Doses were estimated for the

normal life cycle of a particular product

or material, covering distribution and

transport, intended or expected routine

use, and disposal using dose assessment

methods consistent with the current

requirements in 10 CFR Part 20. In

addition, assessments of potential doses

due to accidents and misuse were

estimated. Also presented is an

assessment of potential radiological

impacts associated with selected

products containing byproduct material

that currently may only be used under

a general license and may be potential

candidates for exemption from licensing

requirements.

Licensees, Agreement States and all

other interested parties are encouraged

to submit comments and relevant data

on this report. Comments and

suggestions on this NUREG should be

submitted by June 30, 2000, to assist the

staff in developing the final NUREG–

1717. Comments may be submitted in

writing directly to David L. Meyer,

Chief, Rules and Directives Branch,

Office of Administration, U.S. Nuclear

Regulatory Commission, T–6 D–59,

Washington, DC 20555–0001, or handdelivered to 11545 Rockville Pike,
