JAN 6 1982 MEMORANDUM FOR: Robert B. Minogue, Director Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research John G. Davis, Director Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards Harold R. Denton, Director Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Richard C. DeYoung, Director Office of Inspection and Enforcement FROM: William A. Mills, Chief Health Effects BranchphW5
SUBJECT:
REQUEST FOR AN ASSESSMENT OF THE POSSIBILITY OF NRC CONTRACT SUPPORT FOR NCRP EFFORTS As the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) liaison to the National Council c Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) I received the enclosed letter from NCRP requesting that the NRC consider the possibility of providing contract support for work on Xenon-122, accident generated waste water, dose reduction efforts, and actinides (emphasis on neptunium) (Enclosure 1). The letter is a follow-up to recent corversations that have taken place between the President of NCRP, Dr. Warren K. Sinclair, and various members of NRC, including the Executive Director for Operations, Mr. Dircks. Enclosed also is a letter from Mr. Dircks to Dr. Sinclair supporting the NRC's using of the NCRP to address issues of radiation protection (Enclosure 2). For your information, the Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research (RES) awarded a $150,000 grant (FY81 funds) to support general operations of the NCRP. Also, Mr. Dircks supports consideration of sole source contracts for projects that are appropriate to NCRP's expertise. I believe the NCRP membership represents a cross-section of expert views on scientific issues of importance to radiation protection and their reports and consultations can be extremely helpful to the Commission. I encourage you to seriously consider how their expertise can be helpful. To assist you in review-ing the scope of NCRP's current activities I am enclosing a description of the efforts of the various scientific committees (Enclosure 3). Many of these efforts are directly related to NRC programs, such as those mentioned in the incoming letter. If these are of interest, or you have others to suggest, please feel free to contact Dr. Sinclair or Mr. Will Ney of NCRP directly or through me. 8203090295 820129 PDR ORG EPSNC
, I will be pleased to assist in anyway that I can to expedite projects and to assure that the exchange of information between NRC and NCRP (both ways) is effective. ,.-{ ( di:: .[f*.'4$Y' William A. Mills, Chief Health Effects Branch
