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,
