Disposal of Radioactive Material by Release into Sanitary Sewer Systems

摘要

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is seeking information to determine whether an amendment to its regulations governing the release of radionuclides from licensed nuclear facilities to sanitary sewer systems is needed. The potential rulemaking would revise the approach to limiting the release of radioactive materials into sanitary sewer systems by licensed nuclear facilities based on current sewer treatment technologies. This advance notice of proposed rulemaking is being issued to invite comments, information, and recommendations from interested parties on the issues that have been identified as candidates for consideration as part of this rulemaking.
