- Description
- The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) proposes to enter into a sole source contract entitled, Risk Management Analysis for Decommissioned Sites, with the National Council on Radiation Protection (NCRP). The period of performance for this project is approximately 16 months. The primary objectives of this work are to identify and analyze the current regulatory guidance and practice used by the NRC and EPA, and propose and examine optimal or appropriate methods to achieve consistency between these two management approaches. To meet the ultimate objective and to have the greatest potential impact, this work must be performed by an organization that is independent of both NRC and EPA, and has substantial credibility for both its objectivity and coverage of the current spectrum of scientific thinking on radiation protection. NCRP is uniquely different from other organizations in terms of the institutional control exercised over the selection of committees, the independence and freedom of committee deliberations, and the absence of program or regulatory responsibility over the program issues under deliberation. Neither the NCRP nor its constituent committees have immediate responsibility for a given study, or have a vested interest in the outcome of deliberations. Nominees for membership on NCRP committees are subject to rigorous procedures for appointment, including assessment of the issue of potential sources of bias. These procedures ensure the selection of the most qualified scientists who represent a broad range of views and who as a group reflect the spectrum of scientific thought in a given subject area. All committee reports undergo a thorough review in accordance with overall procedures prescribed by their charter. This includes review by the authorizing committee as well as the entire NCRP. This process assures that the assessment is objective and that the scientific data examined warrant the conclusions or recommendations made by the committee. That independence, when combined with its broad expertise, clearly establishes that organization as the only source capable of meeting the minimum needs of the NRC. See numbered note 22.
