Radiation Protection Rules
The rules in 10A NCAC 15. Section .0100 and .0300 were readopted after periodic review and became effective October 1, 2025. The purpose of these amendments is to add clarity to these rules by moving comments made by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) during the public comment periods of the readoption phases for these rules from a single rule in Section .0100 to the rules that those comments pertain to in the other Sections of the Chapter. In addition, Rule .0307 is being amended to reduce the regulatory burden of the rule on the regulated community. These amendments do not change the intent of the current rules.

The Commission will receive written objections until 5:00 p.m. on the day following the day the Commission approves the rule. The Commission will receive those objections by mail, delivery service, hand delivery, or facsimile transmission.
