SUBJECT:
ruKrnR.ACTTnNS TO CONTEJL ISK ASSOCIATED WITH OCCUPATIONAL TXPOSUEES IN NRC-LICENSED ACTIVITIES ( SECY-7 9-1)
!t i
The Commission asks that the staff continue its discussions
{
'with other Federal agencies concerning a joint fact-finding 3
proceeding on the general subject of occupational radiation
.i exposure.
The Commission believes the concept of a two-i state process--joint fact-finding on radiation risks followed by separate agency implementing proceedings--has merit and should be pursued.
The Commission has expressed willingness j
to initiate discussion with the Administrator, EPA if that j
3 will facilitate progress.
Additionally, the Commission believes that the staff should widen the range of agencies involved in the discussions concerning a joint Federal proceeding to include agencies, such as those involved in the interagency study on the effects of low-level radiation, which could contribute by virtue of their general subject matter expertise to the record of a fact-finding hearing.
