         CHAPTER I--ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (CONTINUED)

 

PART 197_PUBLIC HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL RADIATION PROTECTION STANDARDS 

FOR YUCCA MOUNTAIN, NEVADA--Table of Contents

 

    Subpart B_Public Health and Environmental Standards for Disposal

 

Sec.  197.13  How is subpart B implemented?



    The NRC implements this subpart B. The DOE must demonstrate to NRC 

that there is a reasonable expectation of compliance with this subpart 

before NRC may issue a license. In the case of the specific numerical 

requirements in Sec.  197.20 of this subpart, and if performance 

assessment is used to demonstrate compliance with the specific numerical 

requirements in Sec. Sec.  197.25 and 197.30 of this subpart, NRC will 

determine compliance based upon the mean of the distribution of 

projected doses of DOE's performance assessments which project the 

performance of the Yucca Mountain disposal system for 10,000 years after 

disposal.
