NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

NUREG; Issuance, Availability

    The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has recently published 
``Reassessment of NRC's Dollar Per Person--Rem Conversion Factor 
Policy,'' NUREG-1530. The conversion factor establishes the basis for 
translating radiological exposure to a monetary value and as such 
allows direct comparison between the potential health and safety 
benefits and the costs of a proposed regulatory initiative. This cost 
benefit tradeoff is an important consideration in NRC regulatory 
decisions. The new conversion factor policy discussed in this document 
has been incorporated in ``Regulatory Analysis Guidelines of the U.S. 
Nuclear Regulatory Commission,'' NUREG/BR-0058, Revisions 2, November 
1995.
    Copies of NUREG-1530 may be purchased from the Superintendent of 
Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, P.O. Box 37082, Washington, 
DC 20402-9328. Copies are also available from the National Technical 
Information Service, 5285 Port Royal Road, Springfield, VA 22161. A 
copy is also available for inspection and/or copying for a fee in the 
NRC Public Document Room, 2120 L Street, NW. (Lower Level), Washington, 
DC 20555-0001.
    Members of the public who wish to comment on this NUREG-series 
report may do so, and on the basis of these comments, the NRC holds 
open the possibility of revising this policy in the future.
    Mail comments to: Chief, Rules Review and Directives Branch, 
Division of Freedom of Information and Publications Services, Mail Stop 
T-6 D59, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001.
