The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is continuing the process of engaging stakeholders on issues associated with possible changes to the radiation protection regulations contained in 10 CFR Part 20, and other parts of the NRC regulations, to increase alignment with international recommendations. The Commission is particularly seeking to explore implications, as appropriate and where scientifically justified, of greater alignment with the 2007 Recommendations of the International Commission for Radiological Protection. Other information from national and international sources is also being considered. Given that the NRC regulations provide adequate protection, the discussion has been focusing on discerning the benefits and burdens associated with revising the radiation protection regulatory framework. NRC, through three Federal Register Notices, has officially solicited comments on a series of key issues, and has conducted a series of facilitated workshops to encourage feedback from a wide range of stakeholders. The issues include the use of updated scientific methodologies and terminology, the occupational dose limits, and the use of the concepts of constraints in optimisation. NRC staff provided a policy paper with recommendations to the Commission on April 25, 2012 (NRC, 2012).
美国核管理委员会（NRC）正在继续就与10 CFR Part 20中所载辐射防护法规以及NRC法规其他部分可能的变更相关的问题，与利益相关者进行接触，以加强与国际建议的一致性。委员会尤其希望在科学合理的情况下，探讨与国际放射防护委员会2007年建议进一步接轨的影响。来自国内和国际来源的其他信息也在考虑之中。鉴于NRC法规已提供充分保护，讨论重点一直放在辨别修订辐射防护监管框架所带来的益处和负担上。NRC已通过三项联邦公报通知，就一系列关键问题正式征求意见，并举办了一系列促进研讨会，以鼓励广泛利益相关者提供反馈。这些问题包括使用更新的科学方法和术语、职业剂量限值以及在优化中使用约束概念。NRC工作人员于2012年4月25日向委员会提交了一份附有建议的政策文件（NRC，2012年）。
