- Updating the dosimetric models and dose terms to be consistent with newer recommendations from ICRP, including use of updated tissue and radiation weighting factors and updated derived air concentration (DAC) values;
- Establishing DAC values for Special Tritium Compounds (STCs);
- Lowering the maximum amount of radioactive material which need not be
labeled;
- Allowing use of thresholds for recording occupational exposures;
