Link to an amendment published at 91 FR 15772, Mar. 30, 2026.(a) Each licensee shall develop, document, and implement a radiation protection program commensurate with the scope and extent of licensed activities and sufficient to ensure compliance with the provisions of this part. (See § 20.2102 for recordkeeping requirements relating to these programs.)
(b) The licensee shall use, to the extent practical, procedures and engineering controls based upon sound radiation protection principles to achieve occupational doses and doses to members of the public that are as low as is reasonably achievable (ALARA).
(c) The licensee shall periodically (at least annually) review the radiation protection program content and implementation.
(d) To implement the ALARA requirements of paragraph (b) of this section, and notwithstanding the requirements in § 20.1301, a constraint on air emissions of radioactive material to the environment, excluding Radon-222 and its daughters, shall be established by licensees other than those subject to § 50.34a or § 53.260 of this chapter, such that the individual member of the public likely to receive the highest dose will not be expected to receive a total effective dose equivalent in excess of 10 mrem (0.1 mSv) per year from these emissions. If a licensee subject to this requirement exceeds this dose constraint, the licensee shall report the exceedance as provided in § 20.2203 and promptly take appropriate corrective action to ensure against recurrence.

· cites it 6× “1201 , rather than the requirement in 10 C.F.R. § 20.1101 that licensees employ “procedures and engineering controls” designed “to achieve occupational doses and doses to members of the public that are as low as is reasonably achievable (ALARA).”

“With regard to workers in nuclear plants, EEI points to 10 C.F.R. § 20.1101 (b), which requires employers subject to NRC licenses to “use, to the extent practical, procedures and engineering controls based on sound radiation protection principles to achieve operational doses .”
Finestone v. Florida Power & Light Co., 319 F. Supp. 2d 1347 (S.D. Fla. 2004).
“10 C.F.R. § 20.1101 (a). “The licensee shall use, to the extent practical, procedures and engineering controls based upon sound radiation protection principles to achieve occupational doses and doses to the members of the public that are as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA).”
McGlone v. Centrus Energy Corp. (S.D. Ohio 2020).
· cites it 2× “Nor does the Court find persuasive Plaintiffs’ argument that 10 C.F.R. § 20.1101 sets the applicable standard in this case, as opposed to § 20.”
McGlone v. Centrus Energy Corp. (S.D. Ohio 2022).
“In McGlone I, this Court rejected “Plaintiffs’ argument that 10 C.F.R. § 20.1101 sets the applicable standard in this case, as opposed to § 20.”
Tish Blake v. Florida Power (11th Cir. 2008).
“FPL concedes that it “inadvertently” omitted from production a single report on radiation releases in the Glades Cutoff site (“the Bailey Report”), which Appellants uncovered later in the litigation.”
Pub Citizen Health v. OSHA (3rd Cir. 2009).
“With regard to workers in nuclear plants, EEI points to 10 C.F.R. § 20.1101 (b), which requires employers subject to NRC licenses to “use, to the extent practical, procedures and engineering controls based on sound radiation protection principles to achieve operational doses .”
Finestone v. Florida Power & Ligth Co., 272 F. App'x 761 (11th Cir. 2008).
“at 1349-50; see also 10 C.F.R. § 20.1101 (b). Extensive discovery was conducted, and Appellants contend that FPL consistently refused to provide documents crucial to their case.”
