COMMISSIONER DIAZ'S COMMENTS ON SECY-99-100 - FRAMEWORK FOR RISK-INFORMED REGULATION IN THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR MATERIAL SAFETY AND SAFEGUARDS I approve the staff's recommendations in SECY-99-100, and I offer the fullowing additicnal comments:
As the staff develops a standard or standards for risk informed regulation in NMSS, due consideration should be given to a 100 millirem / year all-pathways dose limit and to the unrestricted use criteria of the License Termination Rule. The standard (s) should allow for equivalent levels of reasonable assurance of adequate protection across the spectrum of regulated materials activities, and should be consistent with risk-informed practices being applied to nuclear power plant regulation.
In providing resources for this important initiative, NMSS should inform the Commission of significant adverse impacts on other programs that may result from reprogramming.
Finally, the staff should immediately begin the first step of the implementation process, and should provide the Commission with a prioritized listing of candidate regulatory applications for risk-informed approaches within 6 months.
