A closer look at NRC’s proposed rule eliminating ALARA
On July 1, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission proposed removing the “as low as reasonably achievable” (ALARA) principle from its radiation protection regulations and replacing it with a graded approach. The agency also proposed increases to effluent dose limits and adjusting how it handles allowances for exceeding dose limits.

This session provides a forum for discussion of fundamental principles that make complex data more understandable, usable, and accessible so that station leaders can more effectively communicate performance gaps and make better informed decisions for the organization. A framework, currently in use at one organization, will provide the basis of a discussion on key attributes to support a deliberate, step-by-step approach that helps measure what matters in a more efficient and more engaging manner. The intent of this session is to lay the foundation for future work on exploring the value of using AI/Machine Learning to improve data analytics and visualization.
