REVIEW
SUMMARY
HOMESTAKE MINING COMPANY, PITCH PROJECT The staff has reviewed the Final Executive Licensing Review Summary (FELRS) for the Homestake Mining Company Pitch Uranium Mill Project. The staff compared the infomation presented in the report to the current licensing policy. The staff has concluded that the license presented in Section VII of the FELRS is consistant with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Comission, Uranium Recovery Licensing Branch, licensing policy with the following exceptions. The staf.' did find.that the minimum technical qualifications for the Radiation Safety Officer and the Radiation Technicians do not nieet the current minimum qualifications required in recently issued 7.enses.
Attached are copies of the recent license conditions for the above mentioned positions. We hate no additional comments concerning the requirements presented in the FELRS.

17.
The Radiation Safety Technician (RST) shall have the following minimum qualifications:
1.
Education: An associate degree in the physical sciences, engineering, or a health-related field. Alternatively, a high school diploma plus four years of relevant work experience in applied radiation protection are acceptable.
2.
General Experience: One year of previous work experience in a ura^ium recovery facility or related industry involving radiation protection.
radiation detection equipment and analytical laboratory procedures that involve health physics, industrial hygiene, or industrial safety measures to be applied in uranium recovery operations.
f 4.
Specialized Training: At least 4 weeks of fomalized training in radiation health protection applicable to radiation hazards nomally experienced at uranium recovery fac.ilities.
5.
Specialized Knowledge: is working knowledge of the proper operation of health physics instruments to be used in the recovery facility for surveying and sampling techniques, and perso'.sel dosimetry requirements.
If the individual selected for the RST position does not meet the educational requirements specified above, however he or she possesses l
prior work experience in radiation safety, then the licensee may consider two years of applied radiation. safety work experiencc as a substitute for each year of the college icvel educational requirement.
In cases where the RST possesses a college degree, with major emphasis in the area of the physical sciences and some specialized courses in radiation safety, the requirement for additional specialized training may be waived.
l
- 18. The Radiation Safety Officer (RS0) s' hall have the following minimum qualifications:
1.
Education:
A bachelor's degree in the ph/sical sciences or engineering from an accred.ited qollege or university.
2.
General Experience: One year of supervisory experience and one year of experience in a uranium recovery facility or related industry.
3.
Health Physics Experit.nce: One year of work experience in applied health physics, radiation protection, industrial hygiene, or similar work. This experience shall involve actually working with radiation detection and measurement equipment rather than only administrative er " desk" work.
4.
Specialized Training: A formalized intensive course in health physics of at least four (4) seeks duration. At least I week of the course shal1 be specifically applicable to health physics problems associated with uranium recovery facilities.
In addition, every two (2) years, the RSO shall attend a refresher course on health physics.
5.
Specialized Knowledge: A thorough knowledge of the proper application and use of all health physics equipment used in the uranium recovery facility, the chenical and analytical procedures used for radiological sampling and monitoring, and the methods used to calculate personnel exposure to uranium and its daughters.
If the individual selected for the RSO positica does not meet the educational equirements specified above, however, he or she possesses prior work exoo*1ence in radiation safety, the licensee may consider two (2) years of applied radiation safety work experience as a substitute for each year of th' college level educational requirement.
e In cases where the RSO possesses a graduate degree, with major emphasis in radiological and envircr. mental sciences, the requirement for specialized training may be waived.
