Question 17: Will QA Category 1 requirements discussed in
Regulatory Guide 1.26 have to be changed due to offsite
dose requirements of 0.5 rem being changed to 0.1 rem in
the revised Part 20?
Answer: The revised Part 20 does not change the QA
Category 1 requirements. The 0.5 rem bench-mark is for
design considerations; therefore, it will likely remain the
same. (Reference: 10 CFR 50 Appendix B)
