# Million-Year Regulatory Person **Domain:** Deep Time / Nuclear Law / Future Persons **Doc Type:** Canonical Wiki Entry **Maturity:** Developed **Evidence / Concept Status:** Corpus label for established Yucca Mountain regulatory figure ## Definition The **Million-Year Regulatory Person** is the continuity-corpus name for the hypothetical future individual whose potential exposure must be modeled under Yucca Mountain radiation standards extending to one million years. ## Why It Matters for Deep Time Continuity The concept demonstrates that present law can impose present duties for the protection of persons unimaginably remote in time. ## Existing Architecture / Evidence EPA's 40 CFR Part 197 uses a reasonably maximally exposed individual and extends performance assessment from 10,000 years to one million years. ## Evidentiary Boundary The phrase 'Million-Year Regulatory Person' is corpus terminology, not EPA's official label. ## Related Ontology [[wiki/Yucca Mountain and the Deep-Time Person|Yucca Mountain and the Deep-Time Person]] · [[wiki/Reasonably Maximally Exposed Individual|Reasonably Maximally Exposed Individual]] · [[wiki/Future Person Standard|Future Person Standard]] · [[wiki/Deep-Time Duty Bearer|Deep-Time Duty Bearer]] ## Sources / Primary Anchors - https://www.epa.gov/radiation/public-health-and-environmental-radiation-protection-standards-yucca-mountain-nevada-40 <!-- BEGIN DEEP TIME CONTINUITY ROUTING --> ## Canonical Branch [[wiki/Deep Time Continuity|Deep Time Continuity]] <!-- END DEEP TIME CONTINUITY ROUTING -->
