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.
The ANS Scholarship Policy and Coordination Committee have announced all the scholarship recipients for the 2026-2027 academic year. This year we have awarded 104 scholarships totaling $241,000 to students pursuing degrees in nuclear science and technology.
