II. Background
The NRC is requesting public comments on the draft RIS. The NRC
issues RISs to communicate with stakeholders on a broad range of
regulatory matters. This may include communicating and restating staff
technical positions on regulatory matters. The NRC staff has developed
draft RIS 2015-XX to clarify its position on compliance with section
50.47(b)(10) of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
Specifically, power reactor licensees need to have PARs for the members
of the public on bodies of water within the plume exposure pathway EPZ
during a general emergency. The draft RIS is available in ADAMS under
Accession No. ML15022A610.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 19th day of May 2015.
