Comment by November 19th against the attempts by the USNRC to increase public exposure to radiation: Docket ID: NRC-2015-0057Agency: Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)

Former US NRC Counsel Peter Crane on the proposed 100 mSv rule: “Through the RADSAFE online bulletin board, I recently learned that Dr. Carol S. Marcus, a former member of this Committee, filed a petition for rulemaking with the NRC on February 9, 2015. I urge the members of the Committee and other concerned persons in the NRC community to give this document close attention. Not only is it of interest in and of itself, its extremism serves to illuminate the intellectual underpinnings of the Patient Release Rule, which derives from an earlier petition for rulemaking from Dr. Marcus, filed in 1990 and later amended. Regrettably, the Commission did not then appreciate the extent to which Dr. Marcus’s views deviated from the mainstream.” http://pbadupws.nrc.gov/docs/ML1510/ML15105A475.pdf…
