Position Papers

The U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) maintains a compilation of staff positions on a number of topics involving radiation and radioactivity.  The stated purpose of these positions is to ensure agency uniformity in all licensing, inspection, and enforcement actions.  Although the entries into the data base are relatively old, they offer some interesting insights into the thinking and the intent of the agency at the time the position was taken .  In many cases, the staff position has not changed since the original date of issue.

IEM refers to the NRC's position statements in the course of doing work for clients, and is often rewarded with some interesting nuggets of information.  However, the data base can be somewhat cumbersome to sort through when looking for information on a particular topic.  We therefore offer the following listing of the position papers that are in the NRC's data base, sorted by general radiation protection topics.

If you would like to read a specific position paper, simply press the "red" link
If there is no link, we regret that we do not have a copy of that paper posted at this time.  But we're working on it.
