NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Regulatory Guide; Issuance, Availability
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued revisions to two
guides in its Regulatory Guide Series. This series has been developed
to describe and make available to the public such information as
methods acceptable to the NRC staff for implementing specific parts of
the NRC's regulations, techniques used by the staff in evaluating
specific problems or postulated accidents, and data needed by the staff
in its review of applications for permits and licenses.
Revision 1 of Regulatory Guide 8.30, ``Health Physics Surveys in
Uranium Recovery Facilities,'' describes guidance acceptable to the NRC
staff on health physics surveys at uranium recovery facilities. These
health physics surveys are used in protecting workers at uranium
recovery facilities from radiation and the chemical toxicity of
uranium.
Revision 1 of Regulatory Guide 8.31, ``Information Relevant to
Ensuring that Occupational Radiation Exposures at Uranium Recovery
Facilities Will Be As Low As Is Reasonably Achievable,'' provides
guidance on design criteria and administrative practices that are
acceptable to the NRC staff for maintaining occupational exposures as
low as is reasonably achievable (ALARA) in uranium recovery facilities.
Comments and suggestions in connection with items for inclusion in
guides currently being developed or improvements in all published
guides are encouraged at any time. Written comments may be submitted to
the Rules and Directives Branch, Division of Administrative Services,
Office of Administration, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission,
Washington, DC 20555.
Regulatory guides are available for inspection or downloading at
the NRC's Web Site at WWW.NRC.GOV> under Regulatory Guides and in NRC's
Electronic Reading Room (ADAMS System) at the same site. Single copies
of regulatory guides may be obtained free of charge by writing the

from the National Technical Information Service on a standing order
