3 MAY 311988 ci HEMORANDUM FOR:
Richard E. Cunningham, Director Division of Industrial and Medical Nuclear Safety Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards FROM:
Frank J. Congel, Director Division of Radiation Protection and Emergency Preparedness Office of. Nuclear Reactor Regulation
SUBJECT:
IAEA CONSULTATIVE DOCUMENT, "THE APPLICATION OF THE PRINCIPLES OF RADIATION PROTECTION TO SOURCES OF POTENTIAL EXPOSURE: TOWARDS A UNIFIED APPROACH TO RADIATION SAFETY" In response to your request, we have reviewed the subject draft IAEA report.
This document presents the principles and fundamental ideas of a proposed scheme for a unified approach to radiation safety, which, in this document, includes both radiation protection and nuclear safety.
We believe that the development of this unified approach is a worthwhile effort which should continue. When fully developed, the unified approach might provide an improved means for considering the occupational exposure costs of proposed improvements in nuclear power plant safety such as equipment backfitting and new mainta.wance and in-service inspection requirements.
Specific coments on the draft are enclosed.

Perception of risk should be addressed if only to recognize th it often has a greater impact on public and political decision-making than does objective analysis.

The following report appears to be relevant to the subject of this draft IAEA document:
J. J. Cohen et al., "Optir'tation of Public and Occupa-2 tional Radiation Protection at Nuclear Power Plants," NUREG/CR 3665 (SAIC-84/1317), September 1984.

- p. 8, Section 2.15, second line: What does "this" refer to?
f 4.
- p. 20, Section 3.16:
If the OECD/NEA expert group report has been pub-lished, a reference should be provided.
5.
- p. 26, Section 4.10: We question whether a broad-based consensus has been developed yet for the "general conclusion" that the collective dose as well as the maximum individual dose must be small for an exemption from regulatory concern. The NRC is hosting an international meeting October 17-19, 1988 in an attempt to develop a consensus on "below regulatory concern" issues.

pp. 40-41, example of derivation of a design constraint from risk limits:
This appears to be a poor example; it contains too many assumptions that are oversimplified and unjustified.
