ABSTRACT
Under the Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act (UMTRCA) of 1978, as amended, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has the responsibility of establishing standards for
exposure of the public to radioactive materials originating from mill tailings for active uranium extraction facilities licensed by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) or its Agreement State. NRC regulations are issued under the United States Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 10, Chapter 1.
