Nev. Admin. Code § 459.321 - Development, implementation and review of program for protection against radiation; establishment of constraint on air emissions to environment of radioactive material
1. Each licensee
and registrant shall:
(a) Develop, document
and carry out a program for protection against radiation commensurate with the
scope of its licensed or registered activities and sufficient to ensure
compliance with the provisions of NAC 459.010 to 459.950, inclusive.
(b) Use, to the extent practicable,
procedures and engineering controls, based upon sound principles of protection
against radiation, to achieve occupational doses and doses to members of the
public that are as low as is reasonably achievable.
(c) Review, at intervals not to exceed 12
months, the content and implementation of the program for protection against
radiation.
2. A licensee
or registrant shall, to achieve doses to members of the public that are as low
as is reasonably achievable pursuant to paragraph (b) of subsection 1,
establish a constraint on air emissions to the environment of radioactive
material, excluding radon 222 and its decay products, such that the individual
member of the public likely to receive the highest dose from such emissions
will not be expected to receive a total effective dose equivalent in excess of
10 millirems (0.1 millisievert).
3.
A licensee or registrant that causes, permits or is otherwise responsible for
air emissions of radioactive material to the environment that exceed the
constraint established pursuant to subsection 2 shall:
(a) Submit to the Division the report
required by NAC 459.371; and
(b)
Promptly take appropriate corrective action to prevent any
recurrence.
