SUBJECT:
REVIEW 0F LICENSE AMENDMENT APPLICATION DATED JULY 21, 1981 RE GE-WMD " CLOSURE AND DEC0tNISSIONING PLAN," 70-lll3030E I.
Introduction By letter dated July 21, 1981 General Electric (GE) submitted a " Closure and Decomissioning Plan" (dated June 12, 1981). Amendment No. 3 to SNM 1097 required GE to sutait a decomissioning plan, estimated costs and financial arrangements. Amendment No. 9 incorporated GE submittals of July 14,1978 and May 14, 1979 for the decommissioning plans and financial commitment of decommissioning funds. The July 21, 1981 submittal provides the additional information on decontamination methods, areas to be cleaned, and waste volumes.
i II. Acceptance Criteria The plan was compued with and reviewed against NRC guidance for preparation of a decomissioning plan in Chapter 7 of " Standard Format and Content for the Health and Safety Sections of Renewal Applications for Uranium Fuel Fab-rication Plants." Task FP 716-4, October 1980, and NUREG/CR-1266, " Technology, Safety and Costs of Decommissioning a Reference Uranium Fuel Fabrication Plant,"
which is referenced in Chapter 7.
III. Decontamination Plans and Costs The GE plan concerns buildings, tanks, piping and outdoor pads where uranium was processed or stored pursuant to Snit-1097.
To estimate the cost of decomissioning, GE has assumed:
a) Facilities, equipment, and premises will be decontaminated below levels specified in NUREG-0436, Rev.1, Attachment A, prior to unrestricted release.
b) Reasonable effort will be expended to remove residual con-tamination.
c) Surfaces of buildings, equipment, ductwork, piping, etc.,
which are likely to be contaminated and which are inaccessible for measurement of residual radioactivity will be assumed to be contaminated in excess of limits for unrestricted release and will be ship;cd to offsite S M al.

T C2-DEC 101981 d) Equipment and portions of facilities which cannot be decontaminated will be packaged and shipped to authorized waste burial sites.
e) Safety control practices in effect for plant operation will be maintained during decommissioning. Plant personnel familiar with plant operations and radiation protection procedures will be utilized.
f) All hazardous materials will be renoved from the site so as to result in NRC and EPA approval to use the site for non-nuclear activities.
g) GE has scheduled a waste uranium recovery operation for 1985. This t,peration will be used to recover uranium from CaF2 buried on site during the initial years of operation.
No other material has been disposed of by onsite burial.
received by telecon with C. Vaughan, (Infomation on CaF 30, 1981))2 November GE has estimated that this plan will cost 12.3 million dollars. This includes 2.46 million dollars for contingency purposes.
IV.
Financial Plan No financial surety arrangements are provided in the decomissioning plan.
A corporate official, Mr. R. H. Beaton, Vice President and Group Executive, Nuclear Energy Group, offers assurance that GE will provide necessary funds for decomissioning.
V.
Conclusion and Recomendation GE has prepared a satisfactory decomissioning plan for removal of significant n
quantities of radioactive material by either decontaminating equipment, facilities and the site or by shipment of contaminated equipment and facilities for offsite licensed burial. Other hazardous materials will be removed to satisfy EPA requirements. The site will be restored such that NRC regulatory control will not be required over the site.
3 The plan should be revised, as appropriate, at five-year intervals during the renewal process.
