NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Draft Regulatory Guide; Issuance, Availability

    The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued for public comment a 
proposed revision of a guide in its Regulatory Guide Series. This 
series has been developed to describe and make available to the public 
such information as methods acceptable to the NRC staff for 
implementing specific parts of the NRC's regulations, techniques used 
by the staff in evaluating specific problems or postulated accidents, 
and data needed by the staff in its review of applications for permits 
and licenses.
    The draft guide, temporarily identified by its task number, DG-8027 
(which should be mentioned in all correspondence concerning this draft 
guide), is titled ``Information Relevant to Ensuring that Occupational 
Radiation Exposures at Uranium Recovery Facilities Will Be As Low As Is 
Reasonably Achievable.'' This guide is being revised to provide 
guidance on design criteria and administrative practices that are 
acceptable to the NRC staff for maintaining occupational exposures as 
low as is reasonably achievable in uranium recovery facilities.
    This draft guide has not received complete staff approval and does 
not represent an official NRC staff position.
    Comments may be accompanied by relevant information or supporting 
data. Written comments may be submitted to the Rules and Directives 
Branch, Office of Administration, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 
Washington, DC 20555. Copies of comments received may be examined at 
the NRC Public Document Room, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD. 
Comments will be most helpful if received by December 15, 2000.
