The Commission notes that Attachment 1 could have been clearer and more direct in discussing EPA's approach to limiting risk from exposure to ionizing radiation.
For example, it might have been useful to note EPA's annual limit for radon (200 millirem) and EPA's general disinterest to date in dealing with NORM in such ser. tings as coal ash.
