. to the Minutes of CRGR Meeting No. 70 CRGR Briefing - The Proposed NRC Policy Concerning Minimum Dosimetry for Offsite Emergency Workers D. Mathews (IE) briefed the CRGR concerning the proposed NRC policy regarding minimum dosimetry for offsite emergency workers. The day before the meeting, IE forwarded to each CRGR member, a copy of the attached draft memorandum (from the ED0 to the Commission) which included the proposed NRC policy. A copy of Mr. Mathews' presentation to the CRGR is also attached.
The staff proposes to recommend that the Comission agree with the " minimum acceptable" personnel dosimetry system for offsite emergency workers proposed by the Federal Radiological Preparedness Coordinating Comittee (FRPCC);
i.e.,
a direct reading dosimeter with a 5 R or 20 R range and a film badge dosimeter or TLO. The FRPCC proposal of November 1983 responds to a March 4,1983 request by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to make recommendations on preferred and acceptable dosimetry systems for an offsite emergency. On April 17, 1984, FEMA issued the dosimetry criteria to State workers and local governments. Thereafter, the staff notified the FRPCC and FEMA that the pro-posed criteria for dosimetry would be reviewed by the Commission prior to NRC making recomendations concerning the proposal.
The CRGR made the tollowing comments to the staff concerning the proposal:
(1) The role of NRC and FEMA concerning offsite emergency worker dosimeters should be clearly articulated in the proposal.
The fact that as a matter of policy the NRC has been asked to make recomendations to FEMA /FRPCC concerning the minimum dosimetry requirements, which were implemented by FEMA in April 1984, should be emphasized in the proposal.
(2) The staff should determine what emergency scenario (s) offsite emergency workers are likely to encounter and then assure that the NRC recommended minimum dosimeters for the workers are appropriate for those scenarios.
The purpose of the dosimeters (both direct and indirect reading) should be clearly articulated in the proposal. The term " permanent record,"
which applies to indirect reading dosimeters, should be explained in the proposal. The inflection that the indirect reading dosimeters are necessary to address cheating concerning dosimeter readings should be removed from the proposal.
In sumary, the CRGR recomended that the current staff proposal not be approved by the EDO. The Comittee recommended that the staff resolve the aforementioned CRGR comments, modify the proposal as appropriate and forward the modified proposal to the CRGR Chairman for his review and disposition.
