The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is seeking public comments on a proposed rule change. This new rule would create an exemption from licensing requirements for products that contain byproduct material incidental to their production. It aims to address a previous petition by GE Osmonics, Inc. and to facilitate the distribution of certain products containing these materials. The NRC encourages comments to be submitted electronically through the Federal Rulemaking Website by April 5, 2021.
Simple Explanation
The people who take care of rules about nuclear stuff want to change a rule to make it easier for some companies to share new products with tiny bits of radioactive material that aren't dangerous. They want to hear what people think about this by April 5, 2021, especially sharing their thoughts online.
