Subject:	Significant Additions to NRMP Webpage on the NEHC Intranet Website

To all Radiation Safety Officers and NRMP Permittees:

We have made several major additions to our Naval Radioactive Materials Permit (NRMP) webpage on the Navy Environmental Health Center's intranet website, which can be accessed at http://www-nehc.med.navy.mil/occmed/nrmp.htm.  Note that this website has NRMP-related information pertaining both to medical and medical research facilities.

We have added a link to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC's) Medical Uses Licensee Toolkit, which should provide medical permittees with all of the applicable regulations, documents and other references needed to properly manage their command's Radiation Safety/Health Programs.  In addition, we have added a link to the NRC's webpage in which they maintain a listing of the specialty board certifications that are recognized by the NRC under 10 CFR Part 35.

Also, to improve customer service, we have converted many e-mail messages to Microsoft Word documents, that had originally been forwarded to permittees for distribution of important NRMP-related information and guidance in 2005 and so far in 2006, which have now been posted on our website in chronological order by date and subject line.  Note also that any Word, Excel or PDF attachment has been imbedded in the Word documents.  The main reason that we have decided to do this is that new RSOs may not have access to these old messages containing information that is still pertinent, and that distribution solely by e-mail may not always be reliable, as the network and servers can be down, and firewalls sometimes prevent messages from reaching their intended recipients. 

The following links now appear on the NRMP webpage:
