Proposed Updates to the EPA Protective Action Guides- Comments Requested
In the event of a radiological emergency, responders can instruct the public to take protective actions such as staying indoors to prevent exposure to unhealthy amounts of radiation. EPA is seeking public comment on a proposed revision of the current PAG Manual: The update, titled “PAG Manual: Protective Action Guides and Planning Guidance for Radiological Incidents,” includes new science, expands the document’s relevancy to more than just nuclear power plants and incorporates recent guidance on re-entry, cleanup and waste disposal. Comments must be received by 07/15/2013.
