NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION 1
General Atomic Company l
Filing of Petition for Rulemaking Docket No. PRM-30-57 AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission ACTION: Publication of Petition for Rulemaking from General Atomic Company
SUMMARY
- The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is publishing for public comment, as a petition for rulemaking, a motion filed before the Commission on September 9,1980, by the General Atomic Company. This petition, which has been assigned Docket No. PRM-30-57, requests that the Commission amend its regulation,10 CFR Part 30, to permit persons exempt from regulation to receive ionizing radiation measuring instruments which contain more than one source of byproduct material.
i DATE:
Comment period expires December 15, 1980.
ADDRESSES: A copy of the petition for rulemaking is available for public inspection in the Commission's Public Document Room,1717 H Street, NW.,
Washington, DC. A copy of the petition may be obtained by writing to the Division of Rules and Records, Office of Administrution, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555.
All persons ic *esire to submit written comments concerning the petition for rulemaking should send their comments to the Secretary of the Commission, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissica, Washington DC 20555, Attention: Docketing and Service Branch.
TOl03/0YS9 FOR PJRTHER UlF0DiATION CONTACT:
J. M. Felton, Director, Division of Rules and Records, Office of Administration, U.S. Pluclear Regulatary Commission, Washington, DC 20555, Telephone:
301-492-7211.
SUPPLEMENTARY IriFORMATION: The petitioner states, in part, that "...it seem[s]
evident that the particular language of the regulations [l30.15(a)(9)],
read to limit licenses of instruments containing byproduct material to persons exempt from regulation to a single source per instrument, was in effect the result of a situation not envisioned at the time of drafting..."
The petitioner furthar states that "These [the petitioner's] instruments are devices which perform several radiation monitoring functions...[and]...the instruments would have to be redesigned, each as a single function instrument with a single exempt quantity byproduct source. To do so would increase costs and delay delivery of instrumentation important to monitoring radiation and radioactive materials in and around major nuclear facilities.
There is no compromise of public health and safety by permitting use of more than one source in a single multi-functional device."
The petitioner requests that 10 CFR 30.15(a)(9) be amended to read as follows :
530.15 Certain items containing byproduct material (a)
...any person is exempt from the... regulations in...this chapter to the extent that such person receives, possesses, uses, trans fers, owns, or acquires the folicwing products:
... o o.
(9)
Ionizing radiation measuring instruments containing, for purposes of internal calibration or standarization, sources of byp-oduct raterial each not exceedi g the applicable quantity set forth in 30.71, Schedule B.
