Guidance for Evaluation of Acute Chemical Exposures and Proposed Quantitative Standards

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is soliciting public comment on its draft Interim Staff Guidance (ISG), ``Guidance for Evaluation of Acute Chemical Exposures and Proposed Quantitative Standards.'' The ISG supplements existing guidance in NUREG-1520, ``Standard Review Plan for the Review of a License Application for a Fuel Cycle Facility,'' by providing additional guidance for the NRC to follow when evaluating descriptions of proposed quantitative standards. The ISG identifies sources of information on which proposed quantitative standards may be based.
