DECOMMISSIONING PROGRAM CHANGES (OPEN)

[Mr. Howard Larson was the Designated Federal 0ffir:iali for this portion of thm nieetiri{::l.(

Mr Daniel Gillen, Deputy Director, Division of Waste Management and Environrnerrl:,aii Fbat::rtec-tion, NMSS, discussed the cbhanges t,o t,he NRC's decorrlmissioning program $:is descrlbec:! in SE,C'Y-04-0022. He described the changes in the sctlrpe of the decommission~ng pa~:lgrarT,,

the regulatory framework, and ths decornmissioning process.

As background, Mr. Gillen prt;wided a historical perspective on the program ard the ac,:::tivities that constitute the agency" decomni~issioning program. He noted that the actilvities of hiis directorate have a wi'de scope, from the development of the regulations and $jl,~idar"cre ari~:::!

associated research, through the inspection of the sites, ending with license #:e:lrrninatiort a.fter completiorl of the required confirmatory surveys.,

Although there were several t:atalysl:s for the most reo:erit changes to,ithe prograrl, ;FAr Gillen indicated that the decommissioning program evaluatic::rn, which took place in 2003, c;oupled with the promulgation of the License Termination Rule [LTR) in 1997 and the asso~:::iated diffic.ulties in implementing that rule, were the most significant catalysts for the current ecoiiu'l:iora c')f the program.

HIS presentat~on prov~ded valuable trlstghts by companng the prograri in the 199Cls r,v~lhi IV~,

current status regarding scope, regulatory framework arid the program process itsellt.

The presentation was closed by a ~~~~~~~~~~~~1 crf tuture changes planned for tt~u:?

prograin regarding license operations and the financial assuratice area to prevent futune legacy sitf:t.s.

Additiorial changes will resu'lt from the exper:ience of continued implementatiairl of the $..-FR process and the implementation of the (2omrnission d~rection on staff recomn'1~r::?r1d;ati1:3ris fo'r the intentional mixing of contam'inated sc~il.

P u b l ~

access to changes rn kl~e pruyrarn should be ~rrrproved through the us61 ol the e~ihclr~ced Web s~te and the much more complete biennial NURE:G report on the decommi~ss~or~~r~~c;(

program.

Among the many questiorrs from t.he Committee was ii~:)r. Ryan's question as c, : ~ 'whe'l,he!r l:lirili most significant decision by.a licensee was the selection of the eventual dispclfsition t:~f the:

decontamination and decomrrhissioning n7atarials. Mr Gillen concurred that s ~ c h a ciecisic'.~n is a driving factor for licensees-.-",,,the effort to find new, cheaper disposal sites th;t satisif'y the regulatory requirements. In response to her questi'on as to how "high risk for fi,ubsurface contarnina,tionn was defined, Clr. Weiner was told tha't this is a subject ithe staff is still working on. The current role of the regions was also discussed in response to a question ablr::~ut 'the duration of institutional controls for restricted USE! site::!.

The Committee indicated 11s lrltent t"o continue tch tolloi~w the many developrner~ls ln 1k1e ilzilrqe and changlng agency progranr

[Mr. Pde~l Coleman was the i3esignatt+d Federal I3flic1,31 tor this portion of the r11retinl1.l 1

As background, Mr. Thomas Nicholson, represeriting NRC's Office of Nuclea~r Regulal:ur,j Research {~RES), noted that his prograrrr of'firze is developirrg, testing, and dot::w,lmetntiing iri systematic, robust methodology to assess the hydrogeologic uncertainties in dose alvsessrnent modeling. Established methodologies on hydro'ge~loyic conceptual model ur~'c,rertainty (NUREGIC'R-6805) and parameter uncertainty' (NUREGICR-6767) are being c:ombin~et$.

Hydrogeologic scenario uncertainty will be incorporated into a unified methodc~lsgy. '"rht:

methadalogy will be rigornusly tested by application tc real field data. The teslled me:thodalogy will be documented aind transferred through 'future teclinical workshops with th~e NRC. staff and invited Federal partners.

Presentations were given to ttre ACNW regarding the treatment of unoertainti~s in hydrogeologic models that support porfarmance asse:;sments. The focus was crn cc~ncap~l:,'ual model and parameter uncertainty. The presenters included Mr. Thomas Nichic::~.lson f'll-ioin RES, Dr. Philip Meyer from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, and Dr. Shlorno F~81eu~man atif !he University of Arizona, Dr. N bcholson gave the firs't o'il three talks, titled '"Trea bment of Uncertainties in H ydrcrgieolc~gic Models: Conceptual Mode'l and Parameter Un~erta~intlr."

Suggested sources alf uncerti3irr't:y' include (1) incomplete knowledge of' the system being analyzed, (2) measurexarenl srror i1n.r

characterizing the system's Xeatures,,, events, and processes (FEPs); 1(3) rlat~liral variabiiii1:y in the system's spatial properties an'd ternllloral evewts partcuiarly transient external stresses, an~d (4) disparity i~rs scales of sampling, monil,oring, and simulation relative to actual diinensions li:~'il FEPs To address the sources of uncertainty, Mr. Nic;holson noted that a rigl::~raus arltl systematic approach is needead to id~jlntify and qr~antify those sources He als~l~

noted thali {:he research objectives of this project are to ( 1 ) develop technical bases for NRCl st,aff w/alu;~tion of uncertainties in performance assessment m~odel's; (2) formulate methods to icieritify arscl cornpare relevant alternative conceptual flow anti trar'isport models; (3) apply.!he me:'tho&:,logy to a series of test cases usirig real site data that encampass a range of hydrcr(~~jeologl~ic sel,tings, conditions, and complexities; to test the robustness of the methodology; and I~d18.)

to el:lucat:e the IVRC staff on the mettaodolog'y Three 'technical products have been develope:d u,ndler thi?:;

research program: NUREGICR-6843 (combined estimation of taydr~g~eologic

c
mcept~ual rnodel arid parameter uncertainty); NUREG/CR-68115 (a con~prehensive strategy of hydrogeolcnghn:

modeling and uncertainty ar~alysis for nuclear facilities and sites); and NLIREC:iICR-EIS(i2i (uncertainty analyses of infiltration and subsurface flow and transport for Site 3econan1issilrrning Management Plan sites)..All1 are ava'ilable o'nline at NRC>.gov.

Dr. Meyer-presented "Treatrnent 0.f Uncertainties ir Hydrogeologic Models." He f~,~r!l~er, discussed uncertainty with respect to NRC staff assec;sments. Sources of hycrogec~logir:;

uncertainty include (a ) inc'oniplete knowledge of the system; (2) measuremen~l or samplin!;j error; ( 3 ) natural variability ira the system proIperties; (4) randomness iri proceasc?s that affk3lct a systern ~(e.g.,

climate change); and (is) dispa~rity among tlie various scales of sarnplir't!~,,

simulation, and the system itself, Dr. Meyer also described a process r.~f r:ombined estir'r~ation of concept,ual mt::rc!el arid para,nneter unceitainty. The approach l:o evaluating con~ceptual r~iodel uncertainty has se/er;$l s,tep!s, as follows: (1 ~1 postulate a set of plausibl~e alternative conceptual models that are supported b y the available data, (2) assign e prior probability to each alternative model, (3~)

estirnate posteritas model probability using the observed system behavior, and then (4) compute predic:tions with each alternative model and combine results using moldel probabilities as weiglllt:$. Dr., MelIt~?r concluded his talk with the following comments:

we know, tt'rere are known known?;; there are lhings we know we kirnw

\\,We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there Zrr:?

a;ome things we do not know. But there are alsc urlknown unknowns--:IFIE:

t:,nes we don't know we don't krlow, Dr.. ShWomo Neurnan gave th~e third talk t:itled "(~or~ceptua~l and Parameter Unc::ri::ri,air~'ltl, i:bssrsss-ment via Maximum Likelihood Bayesian Model Averaging." Hydrogeologic uli~sertainty 1::::arrs be addressed by considering plausible alterriati\\le conceptualira'tions of the groun~d water syst,em and ur~certainty about future behavior. Mod~als based on a single concept caw1 unde,restilm'~ate uncertainty by undersampling valid model "space" so-called "Type I error." Sir~gle ce.:mr:epl, models can also introduce biias by relying on an irlvaliif rriodel "Type II error". The re?sulting uncertainty or bias may be significant Dr. Neuman concluded that the method elf m;:~x:imsr,urn likelihood Bayesian model averaging (IMLBM,A)I provides a theoretical and woi'E1;:ing fr'ianlev\\r[:~rk for prediction under uncertainty relat,ad tu model structure, parameters, and fr:)u'cing I.errr~s in a manner consistent with available knowledge and data Dr. Neuman considern; that MLBMA,

has proven superior to indiv~dual gecrstatistical rxiodel:; based on field studies r:ll: the k~~;la:i'i~e Leap Research Site in Arizonzr.,

Chairman Garrick cornmeritecla that he found conlsistei-rcy in a lot of areas, parl,icular,ly 1~~iri,k11 respect to modeling uncerta'irrty and the way it has been done for a couple of' r::lecades irr 9ome large risk assessments. tie had a p~:oblem trying to connect the presentatiorn?;;,

with ihi.5 wily he has b'een practicing risk assessments,.

Dr. Giiarrick:, also stated that the way risk models are b1.1ilt to try to account for iirrfli:~rrs.~c:atii::~r'r uncertainty is to look at a risk assessment as a structured set of scenarios, 7'\\1is involves ;a different interpretation of wha't is meant by a "scenaric,:~."

A scenario is a path'ljni'ay from a condition or initiating event to some Consequence. Each pathway may result in a differerll, consequence. Scenarios are stru'ctured in an event tree format in order to acc:ount for ttl'rti intervening events between the initiating event (initial cond'ition) and the endstri3te (ct:~:ns~t,~~~

quence). As a result of ail tlic:! c~mbinati~ons and permutations, a lot of endst;s:es,arc? obtained depending on the scenariom,.

One canvenient structure has been 1:u look upon a risk assessment as a set c,::rii sict?rl;aro:::b For each scenario one determiner; a probab'ility of the scenario that is based on all of the evidence.

The scenarios are coravoluted by reordering them i~n terms of increasing conssquetncer;, '"1"hen the scenarios are cumulated; from the bottom into a family of complementary c:urnuIaitive!!

distribution curves, This yields a nice display of no't or~ly the risk associated with each sc~rnario but the total risk of the system that is beirlg analyzed, That's the basic structure thai has heen applied for two or three decades.,

Dr. Meyer mentioned that hawing a srngile co~nc:ept:ual rncrdel inevitably leads ti:: an uri~clr~?re:';t,i-mate {of' uncertainty. However,, Member Garrick has seen a number of conceptual nocleis that led to an overstatement of unc.ertainty. In those cases the conceptual model:; were i;irn[~ly bad models, overly conservative,,

Member Weiner asked Dr. Neclumari, "What's the anosl, valid counterargument lo YOY,II~

approach?" Dr. Neuman responded that one of the counterarguments from c;t::;llleagues is; that it doesn't make sense to speak of riumerous c'onceptual and mathematical models be(:;au::ie in order to develop only one for a given site, it takes a tremendous amount of time, uffc:rrt ar'stl money. Therefor, so when it comes Eo major site-based models of flow and tri~nspoit ;.ar~ci three dimensions over a giver:[ regiorr, the chances of a person actually postuk~ting miore #ban one model and working fully through the modeling pracess, including ~~ncertair~ty asa;essrment, with more than one model is rrot going tc:, be practic:aii,,

Dr. Neuman's answer to this counterargurne~nt is that t depends on how impci\\rtan%

tPli~s i?i; I:.l::,.r the project. If it is important, then the money should be fclund to do the work. Typ~ically wha,li happens is that people get together in a room, argue i:>ased on the available ~:l;;!ata and understanding of a given site, a giver1 system, their various viewpoints, and thp,;n cine grc:IiJp that does the actual modeling will go and decide "Okay, ba'sed on what everyb'ody else Y'lar.;

said, here is how we are go1179 to conceptualize the si'ie." But many viewpoin't:e:;;

remain unrepresented. So that's on,e counte8rargum~ent,

The cather counterargumer~t is the ar'n'ti-Bayesian argument that Dr. Garrick ha!,; poiriei;i e::,r,.~i-there are fundamental issues associated with the meaning of prior probabilitias. Hcxw dn !/ou know that you have selected the correct, set of rriodelri within that set "M" of sr:, rnan,!,r mn:rdels that you are working withf?

Dr. Neumari noted another pa'ssible weakness which he considers a strengtt~i ~ r ' \\

clrlc,:r harrl:,.:!

but a weakness on t,he other. Thle maxiraium likelihood aoproximation is an apprr:~~:xirnatior~~.

Y'L rt is not done correctly, it may lead to statistical bias in the estimates. Dr. Neumar rioted there is no full answer to the queslian "How good is that apprc:~xirnation compared to iitle fr.~ll Bayesian model averaging without the rmaximum like:lihood approximation." Dr. Neum::il'r'\\ i::oncludet::il that quite a nurnber of open questions rernain.

VIII. ELECTION OF OFFICERS Committee members agreed li:o waive the bylaws reyarding the timing for the r?lectii,:~rl

)'I officers because of Chairmian Garrick's inability t:o attend the June ACNW mor?ting,. Swtas~::."

quently, Members reelected Drs. Garrick and Ryan t,ck the positions of Chairrrr;'ln ant:l Lice!

Chairman, respectively.
