Page 1012 - NASA, in conjunction with the Office of Science and Technology Policy and the Office of Management and Budget, has established criteria to support decisions in 1996 and 2000.
Page 1142 - TLO's are pre-exposed to exact amounts of radiation by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, formerly the National Bureau of Standards, and provided to program activities for reading.
Page 1069 - SUMMARY The radioactivity in materials discussed in this report originates in the pressurized water reactors of US Naval nuclear-powered ships. As of the end of 1988, the US Navy had 134 nuclear-powered submarines and fourteen nuclear-powered surface ships in operation.
Page 1078 - SCORPION debris areas. None of these samples showed any evidence of release of radioactivity from the reactor fuel elements in either THRESHER or SCORPION. However, cobalt 60 released from both THRESHER and SCORPION coolant systems was detectable at low levels in sediment samples in the debris areas.
Page 1102 - Naval nuclear-powered ships and support facilities have not caused a measurable increase in the general background radioactivity of the environment. 4. Low-level cobalt 60 radioactivity in harbor bottom sediment is detectable around a few...
Page 1088 - Navy monitoring procedures require collecting in each harbor approximately 20 to 120 sediment samples once each quarter year for cobalt 60 and gross gamma analyses. Locations and numbers of sediment samples for a particular harbor depend on the size of the harbor and the number and separation of locations where nuclear-powered ships berth. Sampling points are selected to form a pattern around ship berthing locations and to provide points in areas away from these berthing locations. The sampling locations...
Page 566 - Materials to manage the remedial actions necessary to address environmental contamination that would come under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act -- CERCLA -- or the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act -- RCRA.
Page 212 - Tailings Radiation Control Act. Nuclear Materials The NRC also regulates a wide variety of other uses of nuclear materials. For instance, there are about 23,000 licensed medical, academic, and industrial users of nuclear materials subject to regulation.
Page 1074 - Reactor coolant also contains short-lived radionuclides with half-lives of seconds to hours. Their highest concentrations in reactor coolant are from nitrogen 16 (7 second half-life) , nitrogen 13 (10 minute half-life), fluorine 18 (1.8 hour halflife), argon 41 (1.8 hour half-life) and manganese 56 (2.6 hour half-life).
Page 973 - Programs, for the express purpose of providing a research and development facility to demonstrate the safe disposal of radioactive wastes resulting from the defense activities and programs of the United States exempted from regulation by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
