What are the known technical or regulatory issues with the current version of the Regulatory Guide (RG)?
RG 8.22, Revision 2, issued in May 2014, provides guidance for uranium bioassay methods for estimating uranium intake at the uranium milling workplaces and associated fuel production facilities. These methods are in accordance with 10 CFR 20.1502, Conditions requiring individual monitoring of external and internal occupational dose, as well as the radiation protection and monitoring requirements outlined in 10 CFR 20.1204(c)(1), Determination of internal exposure, and 10 CFR 20.1703(a)(3)(ii), Use of individual respiratory protection equipment.
This is the first 10-year periodic review for RG 8.22 and no technical or regulatory issues were identified during this review. The guidance in this RG remains consistent with the current bioassay method, regulations, and corresponding citations.
