                   TITLE 40--PROTECTION OF ENVIRONMENT

 

         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.  197.35  What other projections must DOE make?



    To complement the results of Sec.  197.20, DOE must calculate the 

peak dose of the reasonably maximally exposed individual that would 

occur after 10,000 years following disposal but within the period of 

geologic stability. No regulatory standard applies to the results of 

this analysis; however, DOE must include the results and their bases in 

the environmental impact statement for Yucca Mountain as an indicator of 

long-term disposal system performance.
