of 10 mrem /yr TEDE for dose to members of the public form air emissions of ;
' radionuclides from NRC licensed-facilities other than power reactors. i It appears'that the combination of the proposed rule' and existing rules would create a situation where test reactors do'not fall under any constraint;1.evel

10 CFR~50.36b.. However,'10 CFR 50 44aLand Appendix,IetoTIO CFR Part 50 do not
