Peter G. Crane, Receipt of Petition for Rulemaking

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has received and requests public comment on a petition for rulemaking filed by Mr. Peter G. Crane. The petition has been docketed by the Commission and has been assigned Docket No. PRM-50-63. The petitioner requests that the NRC amend its regulations concerning emergency planning to include a requirement that emergency planning protective actions include sheltering, evacuation, and the prophylactic use of potassium iodide, which prevents thyroid cancer after nuclear accidents. The request would amend one of the 16 planning standards in 10 CFR 50.47 by which licensee emergency plans are evaluated in order to assure that the option of using potassium iodide is included in emergency planning.
