SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

As stated previously, in response to 

several requests during the public 

comment period, the NRC is extending 

the Draft SEIS comment period close 

date from February 1, 2010, to March 3, 

2010. The comment period extension is 

in response to public comments 

indicating (1) the original comment 

period for the Draft SEIS included 

multiple Federal holidays, and (2) the 

Draft SEIS for the Lost Creek ISR Project 

was published concurrently with two 

additional NRC Draft SEISs (the Nichols 

Ranch ISR Project in Campbell and 

Johnson Counties, Wyoming, and the 

Moore Ranch ISR Project in Campbell 

County, Wyoming). 

Following the end of the public 

comment period, the NRC staff will 

publish a Final SEIS for the Lost Creek 

ISR Project that addresses, as 

appropriate, the public comments on 

the Draft SEIS.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The IAEA periodically revised its 

Basic Safety Standards to reflect new 

information and accumulated 

experience. The current version was 

published in 1996 (http://wwwpub.iaea.org/MTCD/publications/PDF/ 

ss-115-web/Pub996_web-1a.pdf). The 

revision now underway is based on the 

recommendations of the International 

Commission on Radiological Protection 

(ICRP) contained in ICRP Publication 

103, published in late 2007. 

On January 28, 2010, the IAEA posted 

a draft revision of the BSS for comment 

by each of the member states of the 

IAEA. The draft (DS379) is available for 

viewing and downloading on the 

Internet at: http://www-ns.iaea.org/ 

standards/documents/draft-msposted.asp. Several other International 

Organizations, including the World 

Health Organization and the 

International Labor Organization, are 

also providing the draft to their Member 

States for comment. The United States 

is a Member State of each of these 

International Organizations, and the 

U.S. Government will be developing 

coordinated comments on the draft 

revision. 

The BSS provides requirements for 

the wide range of radiation protection 

situations which may exist. The draft 

report organizes these requirements into 

three principle exposure situations, 

namely: Planned exposure situations, in 

which an activity that may cause 

radiation exposure can be planned in 

advance, and appropriate controls put 

into place; emergency exposure 

situations, that arises as a result of an 

accident, a malicious act, or any other 

unexpected event, and requires prompt 

action in order to avoid or reduce 

adverse consequences; and existing 

exposure situations, in which the 

circumstances causing exposure already 

exist when a decision on the need for 

control has to be taken (such as radon 

in homes). The requirements in the 

existing BSS, and those contained in the 

draft cover areas which may be under 

the jurisdiction of the NRC, or may be 

part of programs under other Federal 

Agencies, including the Environmental 

Protection Agency, the Department of 

Health and Human Services, the 

Department of Labor, and the 

Department of Energy, or may be under 

the jurisdiction of various State 

Agencies. 

Many Member States of the IAEA will 

utilize the BSS as one basis for the 

regulations for radiation safety in their 

countries. Adherence to the provisions 

of the BSS is mandated for IAEA’s own 

conduct, and any uses of radiation or 

radioactive material where the IAEA is 

providing technical assistance and 

support to the Member State. Users of 

radiation and radioactive materials from 

the United States who may do business 

in these countries may therefore be 

particularly interested in this draft 

version. The United States does not 

directly adopt IAEA standards, but may 

consider such standards as a useful 

point of reference in the development of 

proposals under the Administrative
