Dear Mr. Hill:
Given the s!gnificance of the revised 10 CFR Part 20 rule to both NRC and Agreement State programs, NRC undertook a review of all Agreement State final Part 20 equivalent
. rules for compatibility with 10 CFR Part 20. The review was conducted as a two step process. The first step involved a review by Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), under contract with NRC, to identify any differences or inconsistencies between 10 CFR Part 20 and each Agreement State equivalent rule. A copy of the two volume ORNL report, dated December 30,1994, documenting its staff review of the Georgia final 10 CFR Part 20 equivalent rule, is enclosed for your information and use (Enclosure 1). NRC staff first evaluated the ORNL report to determine if any potentially significant health and safety icsuas were identi.md that required immediate attention. If there were none, NRC staff then conducted, as resources parmitted, a detailed review of the differences and ,
inconsistencies identified by ORNL for compatibility and adequacy issues that should be brought to your attention for routine action.
The NRC review focused on those provisions of the Georgia rule that are required for compatibility or for health and safety under the new adequacy and compatibility policy statement apprcved by the Commission by Staff Requirements Memorandum -lated June 30,1997 (Enclosure 2 describes the new compatibility categories). The NRC review concluded that the Georgia 10 CFR Part 20 equivalent rule meets the compatibility and
- health and safety categories of tha new policy.
Please note that our review discovered what we believe is a typographic error. Your definition of " Airborne radioactive area" references Appendix B, Table 1, Column 1 of.10 CFR Part 20 which relates to oralingestion. The correct reference for intake of airborne radioactivity by inhalation is Appendix B, Table 1, Column 3.
h if you have any questions regarding these comments, the compatibility criteria, the NRC g regulations used in the review, or the Oak Ridge report, please contact me or Lloyd A.
