Dear Ms. Stoecket:
Given the significance 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 AprC 21,1995, documentir _ its staff review of the Rhode Island final 10 CFR Part 20 _
l 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 issues were identified that required immediate attention. If there were none, NRC staff then conducted, as resources permitted, 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 Rhode Is'and rule tha are required for '
compatibility or for health and safety under the new adequacy and compatibility policy statement approved by the Commission by Staff Requiraments Memorandum dated June 30,1997 (Enclosure 2 describes the new compatibility categories). The NRC review =
concluded that the Rhode Island 10 CFR Part 20 equivalent rule meets the compatibility .
and health and safety categories of the new policy.

If you have any questions regarding the compatibility criteria, the NRC regulat ions used in the review, or the Oak Ridge report, please cc,ntact rne at (301) 415-2326 or Ms. Cerdelia Maupin of my staff at (301) 415-2312, or INTERNET: CHM @NRC. GOV.

Dear Ms. Stoeckel:
Given the significance of the revised 10 CFR Part 20 rule to both NRC and Agree nt State programs, NRC undertook a review of all Agreement Stat 3 final Part 20 egufvalent ruies for compatibility with 10 CFR Part 20. The review was conducted as a J60 step process. The first step involved a revie v by Oak Ridge National Laboratory /ORNL), under contract with NRC, to identify any differences or inconsistencies betwee 40 CFR Part 20 and each Agreement Statu equivalent rule. A copy of the two volume NL report, dated April 21,1995, documenting its staff review of the Rhode Island fina/l 10 CFR Part 20 equivalent rule, is enclosed for your information and use (Enclosuref). The second part of the review was conducted by NRC staff and consisted of a revievy of the differences and inconsistencies identified by ORNL for compatibility and adequa significance.
The NRC review focused on those provisions of the Rhode 1, and rule that are required for compatibility or for health and safety under the new adequacy and compatibility policy statement approved by the Commission by Staff Requir ents Memorandum dated June 30,1997 (Enclosure 2 describes the new compat ility categories).
