Sec. 20.1402  Radiological criteria for unrestricted use.

    A site will be considered acceptable for unrestricted use if the 
residual radioactivity that is distinguishable from background radiation 
results in a TEDE to an average member of the critical group that does 
not exceed 25 mrem (0.25 mSv) per year, including that from groundwater

reduced to levels that are as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA). 
Determination of the levels which are ALARA must take

into account consideration of any detriments, such as deaths from 
transportation accidents, expected to potentially result from 
decontamination and waste disposal.
