PAC 5: Environmental Radiation and Radioactive Waste Issues

Program Area Committee (PAC) 5 provides oversight for activities related to environmental radiation and radioactive waste issues. A current effort under PAC 5 is SC 64-22 on Design of Effective Effluent and Environmental Monitoring Programs.

Currently authorized but unfunded activities within this program area are:

assessment of measurement methodologies for environmental indicators of past releases (with PAC 6)
case studies and lessons learned from remediation of sites and facilities with radioactive contamination
clearance as a radiation protection strategy for radioactive material management
development of a risk assessment and risk management parameter handbook
radiation protection criteria for plants and animals
risk-based corrective action in remediation of contaminated ecosystems
usage factors for environmental dose calculations

PAC 5 met on April 13 in conjunction with the 2008 NCRP Annual Meeting. New report projects and funding opportunities were discussed.

The membership of PAC 5 is:
