232 APPENDIX G TEDE total effective dose equivalent TENORM technologically enhanced naturally occurring radioactive materials technical support document USACE USNRC United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation U.S. Army Corps of Engineers U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission GLOSSARY agreement state Section 274 of the AEA authorizes the Commission to enter into an effective agreement with the governor of a state to allow that state to assume the USNRC's authority to regulate certain types of materials licensees only. Reactor licensees remain the exclusive domain of the USNRC. Today there are 32 agreement states, which have implemented state regula- tions that are equivalent and compatible with the USNRC's regulations, as required by section 274(d) of the AEA. The materials licensees that a state can regulate include those that use or possess source material, byproduct material or special nuclear material in quantities not sufficient to form a critical mass (less than 350 grams for uranium-235. de minimis Shortened form of de minimis non curat lex, which is Latin for the common law doctrine stating, in free translation, that "the law does not concern itself with trifles." A de minimis amount of something (e.g., a dose) is one at or below which statutory or regulatory controls on larger amounts would not apply. ll~e)2 materials Materials defined in section ll~e)~2) of the Atomic Energy Act (AEA) of 1954, as amended to be the tailings or waste produced by the concentration or extraction of uranium or thorium ore processed primarily for its source content. This definition was added in a 1978 by section 201 of the Ura- nium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act, which amended the AEA.
