National Registry of Radiation Protection Technologists; Receipt of a Petition for Rulemaking

الملخص

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has received and requests public comment on a petition for rulemaking filed by the National Registry of Radiation Protection Technologists (NRRPT). The petition has been docketed by the Commission and assigned Docket No. PRM-35-13. The petitioner requests that the NRC amend its regulations by including acceptance of NRRPT registration as fulfilling some of the training requirements for a radiation safety officer. The petitioner believes that this amendment would support the objectives of the NRRPT and provide a substantial qualified resource to the medical community throughout the United States.
