NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


NUREG-1717, Systematic Radiological Assessment of Exemptions for 
Source and Byproduct Materials

    The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued draft NUREG-1717, 
``Systematic Radiological Assessment of Exemptions for Source and 
Byproduct Materials.'' This report is an assessment of potential 
radiation doses associated with the current exemptions for byproduct 
and source material in Title 10, of the Code of Federal Regulations 
(CFR). Doses were estimated for the normal life cycle of a particular 
product or material, covering distribution and transport, intended or 
expected routine use, and disposal using dose assessment methods 
consistent with the current requirements in 10 CFR Part 20. In 
addition, assessments of potential doses due to accidents and misuse 
were estimated. Also presented is an assessment of potential 
radiological impacts associated with selected products containing 
byproduct material that currently may only be used under a general 
license and may be potential candidates for exemption from licensing 
requirements.
    Licensees, Agreement States and all other interested parties are 
encouraged to submit comments and relevant data on this report. 
Comments and suggestions on this NUREG should be submitted by June 30, 
2000, to assist the staff in developing the final NUREG-1717. Comments 
may be submitted in writing directly to David L. Meyer, Chief, Rules 
and Directives Branch, Office of Administration, U.S. Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission, T-6 D-59, Washington, DC 20555-0001, or hand-
