SUBJECT:
CALENDAR YEAR 2018 EVALUATION OF REGION I DECOMMISSIONING FINANCIAL ASSURANCE PROGRAM The enclosed report documents a self-assessment of the Region I Materials Decommissioning Financial Assurance Program performed by Robert Gallaghar and Leonardo Wardrobe between February 1, 2018, and June 30, 2018.
Financial instruments and supporting documentation for all 67 material licensees requiring financial assurance were evaluated against the regulatory requirements of 10 CFR 30.35, 10 CFR 40.36, 10 CFR 70.25; the criteria in Management Directive (MD) 8.12; and NUREG-1757, Volume 3, Revision 1, Consolidated NMSS Decommissioning Guidance -
Financial Assurance, Recordkeeping, and Timeliness.
In summary, there were no significant problems identified. All financial assurance instruments were accounted for and all were properly safeguarded. Licensee obligated funds were sufficient to match standard amounts required by 10 CFR 30.35, 10 CFR 40.36, 10 CFR 70.25, or were for amounts determined in an approved decommissioning funding plan (DFP). There was 1 discrepancy and 3 findings as follows:
Discrepancy:
- 1.
License authorizes possession and use of americium-241 in unsealed form (Any) which requires a Decommissioning Funding Plan (DFP), however the Decommissioning Cost Estimate dated May 27, 2014, does not include americium-241 in unsealed form and no updated DFP was found in ADAMS.
