The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing for public comment draft NUREG-1530, ``Reassessment of NRC's Dollar Per Person-Rem Conversion Factor Policy, Revision 1.'' This proposed revision to NUREG-1530 would revise the dollar per person-rem conversion factor. The NRC uses the dollar per person-rem conversion factor in cost-benefit analyses to determine the monetary valuation of the consequences associated with radiological exposure and establishes this factor by multiplying a value of a statistical life (VSL) coefficient by a nominal risk coefficient.
