Reforming and Modernizing the NRC’s Radiation Protection Framework

This rulemaking would amend the NRC’s regulations to revise the NRC’s radiation protection regulatory framework to support the national policy statements of EO 14300 and EO 14154. This rulemaking is responsive to directives in Section 5(b) of EO 14300 and Section 3(a) of EO 14154. In particular, the NRC shall reconsider reliance on the linear no-threshold (LNT) model for radiation exposure and the as low as reasonably achievable standard.
