SUMMARY
- The petitioner request's that the NRC amend its regulations to l
permit a licensee to dispose of solid biomedical waste containing small amounts of radioactivity without i'egard to its radioactivity. The petitioner requests =that the.9RC expand the provisions of 10 CFR-20.306 to classify the.
disposal of wastes such as paper.-glass, and plastic trash containing small amounts of Hydrogen-3 and Carbon-14 as below 1
regulatory concern. The petitioner would then.be able to dispose of this material on-site in a currently operating, 4
controlled-air-incinerator. The oetitioner believes this to-be a reasonable, cost-effective a'.;ernative to burial of these l
wastes at a commercial low-level radioactive waste = site.

Iridium-192 Wire for the_ Interstitial Treatment of Cancer
SUMMARY
- The petitioner requests that the Nuclear Regulatory Comission j'
amend its regulations concerning the medical use of byproduct material to include' Iridium-192 wire for intestitial treatment of cancer in the provisions of 10 CFR 35.400 which governs the use of sources for brachytherapy. Under current NRC regulations, a potential user would be required to request and obtain a license amendment before using Iridium wire in brachytherapy treatments. The petitioner requests this ameadment so that each medical use licensee that intends to use Iridium-192 wire for the interstitial treatment of cancer may do so without having to request and obtain a specific amendment to its license.
TIMETABLE: A proposed rule entitled, " Iridium-192 Wire for Interstitial Treatment of Cancer (RIN 3150-AD46)," has been developed to i

SUBJECT:
- Use of Radiopharmaceuticals L
SUMMARY
- The petitioners request.that the Commission revise its regulations to give cognizance to the appropriate scope of the practice of medicine and pharmacy. The petitioners believe I
that 10 CFR Part 35 should be revised to recognize all the mechanisms that' the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) uses to authorize the usr of-radiopharmaceuticals..According to the petitioners, granting of this petition would allow nuclear physicians and nuclear pharinacists to reconstitute non-radioactive kits differently from the method reconnended by the manufacturer; allow nuclear physicians and nuclear.
pharmacists to prepare radiopharmaceuticals whose manufacture-and distribution are purposefully not regulated by FDA; and permit nuclear physicians to determine appropriate diagnostic and therape' tic applications of radiopharmaceuticals, as is i
u their professional obligation. The petitioners are interested' -
in the requested action because, under current NRC -
4 regulations, members of the petitioning organizations believe they cannot. appropriately practice.their professions. The petitioners state that authorized user physicians cannot prescribe certain radiopharmaceuticals or routes of administration'for optimal patient care, even though they are permitted to do so by FDA'and by their state medical licenses. According to the petitior.ers,. nuclear pharmacists have been disenfranchized as a professional entity because activities that are permitted by the FDA and the. states are not allowed under NRC regulations.
The petitioners believe that their professional activities are curtailed by the limitations imposed on nuclear physicians and pharmacists.

Licensing the Possession _of Uranium Mill Tailings'at inactive Storage Sites.
SUMMARY
- The petitioner requestsIthat the Commission amend its regulations to license the possession of uranium mill tailings of inactive. storage sites. The petitioner-proposes the following regulatory action to ensure that-the publichealthandsafetyisadequatelyprotected:-(1) repeal the licensing exem) tion for inactive uranium mill-tailings sites subject to tie Department of Energy's remedial programs;
>c (2) require a license for the possession.of byproduct material on any other property in'the vicinity of an inactive mill tailings site if the byproduct materials are derived from the sites; or, in the. alternative, (3) conduct a rulemaking to determine whether a licensing exemption of these sites i
i or byproduct materials constitutes an unreasonable risk to public health and safety.
On March 23, 1983, the petitioner filed an amendment to the original petition.
In the amendment, the petitioner requests that, in the event that NRC denies the earlier requests, NRC take further action-to ensure that the management of byproduct material located on or derived from inactive uranium processing sites-is conducted in a manner that protects.the public health and safety and the environment. The petitioner also requests that the NRC take action to govern the management of byproduct material not subject to licensing under Section_81 of the Atomic.
Energy Act.
The objective of the petition is.to license the protection of uranium mill tailings at. inactive storage sites or take other regulatory action to protect the public health and y
safety and the environment.from the radiological = and-nonradiological hazards associated with'the~ tailings. The-petitioner believes that this action is necessary.if NRC is to adequately fulfill'its statutory responsibilities under the Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act.

Request for Reopening of ATWS Rulemaking Proceeding
SUMMARY
The. petitioner requests that the NRC reopen the Anticipated Transients Without Scram (ATWS) rulemaking proceeding. This request was one portion of a request by-the Ohio Citizens for Responsible Energy (OCRE) that NRC take a number of actions to
(
relieve alleged undue risks posed by the thermal-hydraulic instability of boiling water reactors. On April 27, 1989, the
'L Director NRR, responded to the OCRE request for action-in.a I
Director s Decision under 10 CFR 2.206.
In the Director's' Decision (DD-89-03),theNRCdeniedallofthepetitioner's requests, except for' the request to reopen the ATWS rulemaking q
proceeding, which would be more properly treated as a petition for rulemaking under 10 CFR 2.802. The petitioner suggested that resolution of the ATWS problem depends on measures other
(
than tripping the recirculation pumps to rapidly reduce reactivity.
In this regard, the petitioner specifically suggests the use of an automatic, high-capacity standby liquid control system.
InaletterfromtheBWROwner'sGroup(BWROG), dated September 18, 1989, which transniitted report NED0-31709,
" Average Core Power During targe Core Thermal Hydraulic-Oscillations in a BWR"' the BWROG concluded that' previous ATWS evaluations are valid and that existing ATWS provisions and actions are appropr hte. The staff review of NED0-31709 concluded that the NEDO analyses, and other analyses performed by the BWROG contractors, were not sufficient to support-their conclusions.
NRC Staff.and contractors studies of ATWS scenarios are currently being performed to determine if the potential power oscillations could be significant enough to warrant an ATWS rule change, modification of operator actions, or possible equipment / systems changes.
Several of the ATWS scenarios have revealed the need for more detailed studies of the automatic responses and emergency procedures guidelines (EPG's).used by plant operators.

'l PETITION DOCKET NUMBER:
PRM-50-53
SUMMARY
(CONT)
The staff plans to complete the detailed studies and to qualify the results by October 1990.
Concurrently, the BWROG is evaluating and addressing questions raised by the staff relhtive to operator actions and instrumentation adequacy for an ATWS with oscillations and the timing of the boron-i I
injection and water level reduction as effective means to control such transients.
Therefore..the staff considers it prudent to hold in abeyance, i
pending further results and information discussed above, a response to the petitioners request to reopen the ATWS 1
rulemaking proceedings.

Resolution of the petition is scheduled for October 1990.

SUMMARY
- The petitioner requests that the Consnission promulgate rules governing the licensing of independent power producers (IPPs) to construct or operate commercial nuclear power-reactors.
The petitioner also requests that these rules include specific criteria for financial qualifications for an IPP seeking a construction permit or an operating license for a consnercial nuclear power reactor.. The petitioner believes that there is j
i a growing movement towards non-utility IPPs owning, constructing, and/or operating nuclear reactors.

also describes.the basis for the values contained in Table S-3, explains the environmental effects of-these potential releases from i
the LWR Fuel Cycle, and postulates the potential radiation doses,.
i health effects, and environmental impacts of these releases.
The
)
proposed rule also amends 10-CFR 51.52 to modify the enrichment value of U-235 and the maximum level of average fuel irradiation (burnup in megawatt-days of thermal power per metric ton of uranium).-
i The narrative explanation also addresses important-. fuel cycle impacts.
and the cumulative impacts of the nuclear fuel cycle for the whole-nuclear power industry so that it may be possible to consider these-impacts generically rather than repeatedly in individual licensing proceedings, thus reducing litigation time and costs for both NRC and applicants.
The-proposed revision of 10 CFR 51.51 and the addition of Appendix-B was published for public review and comment on i
March 4,1981 (46 FR 15154).
The-final rulemaking was deferred pending the outcome of a suit (Natural-Resources Defense Council, et al. v. NRC, No. 74-1486)' in the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
The U.S. Court of Appeals (D.C. ' Circuit) decision of-Apr1127, 1982, invalidated.the entire Table S-rule. The Supreme Court reversed this decision on June 6, 1983.
The proposed rule to provide an explanatory narrative >for Table S-3 has been revised to reflect new modeling developments during the time the rulemaking was deferred.
Final action on.the Table S-3 rule was held in abeyance until new values for radon-222 and technetium-99 1
could be added to the table and covered in the narrative explanation.
'The rule is being reissued as a proposed rule because the scope has been expanded to include radiation values for radon-222 and technetium-99 and the narrative explanation has been extensively revised from that published on March 4,1981(46FR15154).

Standards for Protection Against Radiation i
RIN:
3150-AA38 i
i CFR CITATION:
ABSTRACT:
The proposec 91e would revise Part 20 of the Comission's regulations in its entirety.
Radiation' protection philosophy and technology have changed markedly since the present Part 20 was promulgated nearly 30 years ago.
Because Part 20.contains the NRC standards for protection against radiation that are used by all licensees-and affects exposures of workers and members of the public, it should-i beJthe most basic of the NRC's regulations. However, because the-present Part 20 has become outdated, most radiation protection-actions occur through. licensing actions independent of Part 20. A complete revision is necessary to provide better assurance of-protection against radiation; establish a' clear health protection basis for the limits; reflect current information on health risk, dosimetry, and radiation protection practices and experience;-
provide NRC with a health protection base from which it may -
consider other regulatory actions taken to protect publi_c health; be consistent with recomendations'of world authorities -
(International Comission on Radiological Protection);:
and apply to all licensees in a consistent manner.
Alternatives to the complete revision considered were no
.c action, delay for further guidance,- and partial revision of the standards.
These were rejected as ignoring scientific advancements, being unresponsive to international and national guidance, and correcting only some of the recognized problems.
with.the present Part 20.
Benefits would include updating the regulations to reflect -
contemporary scientific knowledge and radiation protection philosophy; implementing regulations which reflect the ICRP risk-based rationale; reducing lifetime doses to individuals receiving the highest _ exposures; imM &sienting provisions for sumation of doses from internal and exterr.31 exposures; providing clearly identified dose limits for the public; and providing an understandable health-risk base for protection.
The cost of implementing the revision is estimated to be $33 million for all NRC and Agreement State licensees in the initial year and about $8 million in each subsequent year.
This cost does not inclue.ny savings which might also be realized by the revision.

Primary Reactor Containment Leakage Testing for Water-Cooled Power i

CFR CITATION:
10 CFR 50; Appendix J ABSTRACT:
The proposed rule would update and revise the 1973 criteria for preoperational and periodic pressure testing for leakage of primary containment boundaries of water-cooled power reactors.
Problems have developed in application and interpretation of the existing rule.
These result from changes in testing technology, test criteria, and a relevant national standard that needs to be recognized. The proposed revisions would make the rule current and tanprove its usefulness.
The revision is urgently needed to resolve continuing conflicts between licensees and NRC inspectors over interpretations, current i
l regulatory practice which is no longer being reflected accurately by the existing rule, and endorsement in the existing regulation of an obsolete national standard that was replaced in 1981.
i The benefits anticipated include elimination of inconsistencies and obsolete requirements, and the addition of greater use S? ness and a '
higher confidence in the leak-tight integrity of conta% nt system boundaries under post-loss of coolant accident conditionr The majority of the effort needed by NRC to issue the rule has already been expended.
A detailed analysis of costs, benefits, and occupational exposures is available in the Public Document Room, and indicates possible savings to industry of $14 million to $300 million and an increase in occupational exposure of less than 1 percent per year per plant due to increased testing.

CFR CITATION
- i 10 CFR 73 ABSTRACT:
The Comission has concluded that it is appropriate for each licensee that operates a nuclear power plant to establish an access authorization program to ensure that individuals who require unescorted access to protected areas or vital areas of their facilities are trustworthy, i
reliable, emotionally stable, and do not pose a threat to comit i
radiological sabotage. Accordingly, the NRC published a proposed t
rule on August 1, 1984, that would require an access authorization program at nuclear power plants (49 FR 30726).
r An alternative proposal by)the Nuclear Utility Manatiement andwas subm Resource Comittee (NUMARC
)
this proposed rule. The alternative aroposed a voluntary industry comitment to implement an access aut1orization program at nuclear power plants based upon industry guidelines. Major provisions of this program include background investigation, psychological evaluation, and behaviorial observation.
4 On June 18, 1986, the Comission approved developing a policy statement endorsing industry guidelines as an alternative to the proposed rulemaking. Comitments to adhere to these guidelines i
wou11 be formalized through amendments to the physical security i
pla's and be subject to inspection and enforcement by NRC.
On March 9,1988, the NRC published a )ro)osed policy statement r deral Register notice, endorsing the NUMARC guidelines.
In tie e
the Comission specifically requested public comments as to whether the access authorization program should be a rule or a policy statement.
On April 19, 1989, the Comission decided to go forward with a final rule which would require all licensees to have an access authorization program and would specify the major attributes of m
the program. The NRC would also issue a regulatory guide which would endorse, with approariate exceptions the a)pl scohle industry guidelines,asanaccepta)lewayofcomplyingwit1therule.

ABSTRACT:

Significant issues concerning tie meaning of these terms as they are used in this_part have arisen in Comission licensing proceedings. This proposed rule would define these terms and clarify the nature and extent of their effect on quality assurance requirements, thereby resolvin(, these issues.
Rulemaking was chosen as the method of resolving this issue as a result of the Comission's directive to resolve the issue by rulemaking contained in the Shoreham licensing decision (CLI-84-9, 19HRC1323, June 5,1984).
r A position paper requesting approval of the staff proposed definitions and additional guidance from the Comission was signed by the EDO on May 29, 1986.
In addition to rulemaking, the position paper discusses the alternative of the Comission issuing a policy statement concerning the definitions and their
- usage, woA Since the proposed rule-# only cisrifying existing requirements, there is no impact on the oublic or the industry as a result of,
_this rulemakina. I It is anticipated that the NRC will expend

3150-AC03 CFR CITATION:
ABSTRACT:
The proposed rule would eliminate several inconsistencies with the EPAstandardstobedevelopedforthedisposalofHLWindeep(NWPA) geologic repositories.
The Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 directs NRC to promulgate criteria for the licensing of HLW geologic repositories.
Section 121 (c) of this act states that the criteria for the licensing of HLW geologic repositories must be consistent with these standards.
The proposed rule is needed in order to eliminate several inconsistencies with the EPA standards, thus fulfilling the statutory requirement.
Because the NWPA directs NRC to eliminate inconsistencies between Part 60 and the EPA standard, the alternatives to the proposed action are limited by statute, The public, industry, and NRC will benefit from eliminating c
inconsistencies in Federal HLW regulations. NRC resources needed would be several staff-years but will not include contract resources'.
Because the Federal Court invalidated the EPA standards, action on this rule, which is in response to the EPA standards, is undetermined.

RIN:

i 10 CFR 20 ABSTRACT:
The proposed rule, which is being initiated in partial response to a petition filed by Edison Electric Institute and Utility Nuclear Waste Management Group (pRM 20-15, dated July 31 1984),wouldamendNRC regulations to allow onsite incineration of waste oil at nuclear power plants subject to specified conditions.
Currently, the only approved disposal method for low-level, radioactively contaminated waste oil from nuclear power plants involves absorption or solidification, transportation to, and burial at a licensed disposal site.
There is a clear need to allow, for very low activity level wastes, the use of alternative disposal methods which are more cost <rfective from a radiological health and safety standpoint an:: which conserve the limited disposal capacity of low-level wcste burial sites.
Increased savings to both the public and the industry could thereby be achieved without imposing additional risk to the public health and safety.
Alternatives to this rulemaking action are to maintain the status quo or to wait until the Environmental Protection Agency develops standards on acceptable levels of radioactivity which may be released to the environment on an unrestricted basis.
It is estimated that approximately 1-2 person years of NRC staff time will be required to process this rule.

Radioactive Waste Below Regulatory Concern; Generic Rulemaking RIN:
3150-AC35 CFR CITATION:
ABSTRACT
- The advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) sought comments on a' proposal to amend NRC regulations to address disposal of radioactive wastes that contain sufficiently low quantities of radionuclides that their disposal does not need to be regulated as radioactive.
The NRC has already published a policy statement providing guidance for filing petitions for rulemaking to exempt individual waste streams (Auoust 29, 1986; 51 FR 30839).
It is believed that generic rulemaking could provide a more efficient and effective means of dealing with disposal of wastes below regulatory concern.
Generic rulemaking would su)plement the policy statement which was a response to Section 10 of t1e Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy AmendmentsActof1985(Pub.L.99-240).
The public was asked to comment on-14 questions.
The ANPRM requested public comment on several alternative a, proaches the NRC could take. The evaluation of public comment together with the results from a proposed research contract will help to determine whether and how NRC should proceed on the matter. The action on this rule is dependent on the issuance of a broad Comission policy statement on exemptions from regulatory control.

10 CFR 71 ABSTRACT:
The pro >osed rule would, in conjunction with a correspo.' ding rule change )y the U.S. Department of Transportation, make the United States Federal regulations for the safe transportation of radioactive material consistent with those of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The'IAEA regulations can be found in IAEA Safety Series No. 6. " Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material," 1985 Edition. Consistency in transportation regulations throughout the world facilitates the free movement of radioactive materials between countries for medical, research, industrial, and nuclear fuel cycle purposes.
Consistency of transportation regulations throughout the world also contributes to safety by concentrating the efforts of the world's experts on a single set of safety standards and guidance (thoseoftheIAEA)fromwhichindividualcountriescandevelop their domestic regulations.
In addition, the accident experience t
l of every country that bases its domestic regulations on those of 1
l the IAEA can be applied by every other country w'th consistent regulations to improve its safety program. The action will be handled as a routine updating of NRC transportation regulations, t
There is no reasonable alternative to rulemaking action.
These changes should result in a minimal increase in costs to affected licensees. Proposed changes to.10 CFR Part 71, based on current IAEA regulations, have been issued for public comment.
The task will consume 2-3 staff-years of effort depending on the number and difficulty of conflicts to be resolved.

Storage of Spent Nuclear fuel in NRC-Approved Storage Casks at Nuclear Power Reactor Sites RIN:
3150-AC76 CFR CITATION:
10 CFR 50; 10 CFR 72; 10 CFR 170 ABSTRACT:
The proposed rule is in response to the Nuclear Waste Policy Act (NWPA) section 218 (a) which states, in part, that the Secretary of DOE shall establish a demonstration program, in cooperation with the private sector, for dry storage of spent nuclear fuel at civilian nuclear power reactor sites. The ob,jective of this parogram is establishing one or more technologies that the Comission may, by rule, approve for use at sites of civilian nuclear power reactors. The NWPA also requires that the NRC establish procedures for the licensing of any technology approved by the Commission under section 218(a) for use at the site of any civilian nuclear power reactor.
The staff anticipates a significant increase in the demand for use of dry spent fuel storage casks starting in the early 1990s, thus nrocessing of this rulemaking is timely.
NRC resource requi..ments are anticipated to be about 2 staff-years.

RIN:

l CFR CITATION:
10 CFR 73 ABSTRACT:
The proposed rule would ensure that security force effectiveness at l
nuclear power plants is not dependent on the time M day.
Security i
guards currently are required to perform night firing for familiarization only.
There is no requirement for standards to measure their effectiveness.
The proposed rule would chtsee twt by requiring that security guards at nuclear power plants,ual Q fe;-
night firing. The only alternative to rulemaking is to retain the current status.
Part 73, Appendix B, Part IV, will be amended to require reactor security guards to qualify annually in an NRC-approved night firing course with their assigned weapons.
The pro sed amendment will standardize training and qualification in ni ht firing and )repare power reactor guard forces to respond more e fectively in t1e event of an incident occurring in limited lighting conditions.
The cost to industry should be relatively modest since licensees already
(
operate daylight firing training and qualification facilities and programs.
The costs to NRC will also be minimal because it will only require minor licensing, inspection and other regulatory actions. There is no occupational exposure.
1 It is estimated that 0.4 staff-years of effort over 2 years by the NRC will be required for the rulemaking.

ABSTRACT:
This rulemaking would amend 10 CFR 20.403(a) and (b) to revise the licensees' reporting requirements for material licensees and research and test reactors.
In addition, new sections will be developed and added to Parts 30, 40, and 70. While10CFR20.403(a) and (b) are reasonably clear in tenns of licensee reporting recuirements for events involving " exposures" and " releases" of racioactive materials, these sections are not clear concernin i
eventsinvolving'lossofoperation"and'damagetoproperty,g t
The staff believes these criteria are not indicative of events i
that pose a hazard to public health and safety or the environment.
The periodic loss of operation of a facility due to age or normal wear is expected and usually poses no additional hazard to the public or environment. The same is true for the cost of repairing damage which may be high because of extenuating circumstances and not due to the extent of the damage or its effect on any licensed material.
The deleted sections will be replaced with new criteria which will be added to Parts 30, 40, and 70.
The staff believes the new requirements to these parts are more indicative of potentially significant events affecting the health and safety of the public and i
the environment.
In addition, the rulemaking also defines "innediate" in actual time, e.g., within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />, for reporting requirements.
This rulemaking action will revise a current Connission regulation;
{
there is no other appropriate procedure.to accommodate the clarification.
This rulemaking activity. is considered to be a high priority item by NHSS.
The health and safety of the public will be better protected because improved reporting requirements will reduce the potential risk of exposure to radiation.
Revising the reporting require-ments will also simplify regulatory functions and free the staff from unnecessary additional investigation and, at the same time, protect the industry from unnecessary and unexpected' fines.

Licensing and Radiation Safety Requirenents for Large Irradiators i
RIN:
i 3150-AC98 CFR CITATION:
ABSTRACT' The proposed rule would develop regulations to specify radiation safety requirements and license requirements for the use of licensed radioactive materials in large irradiators.
Irradiators use gamma radiation to irradiate products to change their characteristics in some way. The requirements would apply to large panoramic l
1rradiators(thoseinwhichtheradioactivesourcesandthematerial being irradiated are in a room that is accessible to personnel while thesourceisshielded)andcertainlargeself-containedirradiators in which the source always remains under water.
The rule would not cover small self-contained irradiators, instrument calibrators, 4
medicalusesofsealedsources(suchasteletherapy),or non-destructive testing (such as industrial radiography).
l The alternative to a regulation is continuing to license irradiators on a case-by-case basis using license conditions. The formalization would make the NRC's requirements better understood and possibly speed the licensing of irradiators. Development of the rule will require 2 staff-years.

RINt' 3150-AD01 j
i CFR CITATION:
ABSTRACT:.-
' The proposed rule revises the Pressurized Thermal Shock (PTS) rule, published on July 23, 1985, which established a screening criterion, a limit on the degree of radiation enbrittlement of PWR reactor vessel beltline materials beyond which operation cannot continue without.
additional plant-specific analysis.
The rule prescribes how to calculate the degree of embrittlement as a function of t!.e copper and nickel contents of the controlling material and the neutron fluence.
The proposed amendment revises the calculative procedures to be consistent with that given in Revision 2 of Regulatory Guide 1.99.
This guide, which was published-in final form in May 1988, provides an updated correlation of embrittlement data.
The need to -amend-the PTS rule to be consistent wi?' the guide became apparent when it was founri that some medium-copper, high-nickel materials embrittlement is worse now than predicted using the PTS rule. A number of PWRs will reach the screening criterion sooner than previously thought, and three plants will need to make plant-specific analyses in the next 10 years. Therefore: a high priority is being given to this effort.
An unacceptable alternative to this amendment from the. safety standpoint'is to leave the present PTS' rule in_ place. A plant-by-plant analyses by the NRC staff found four plants whose reference temperatures are 52 to 68'F higher than previously thought, based on the present rule.
This is beyond the. uncertainties that w6re felt to exist when the present rule was published. Another unacceptable alternative that has been evaluated is to change the calculative procedure for the reference temperature and also change the screening criterion. Failure probabilities for the most critical accident scenarios'in three plants, when recalculated using i
the new embrittlement; estimates, were somewhat lower, but.were quite
~
dependent on the plant configuration and the scenario chosen.
Furthermore, the screening criterion was based on a variety of considerations besides the probabilistic analysis.
Reopening the question of where to set the screening criterion was not considered productive because of plant-to-plant' differences.
It is better to have a conservative " trip wire".that triggers' plant-specific analyses.

ABSTRACT:
The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations dealing
- with physical protection requirements that are out of date, susceptible t
to differing interpretations, or in need of clarification. These problems were identified by a systematic review of the agency's safeguards regulations and guidance documents conducted by the-Safeguards -Interoffice Review Group (SIRG).
In addition, the staff had identified other areas in the regulations where minor changes are warranted.
In response to these efforts, specific amendments to the regulations are.being proposed.
The proposed changes would:
(1)adddefinitionsforcommontermsnotcurrentlydefined, (2) delete action dates that no_ longer apply,-(3) correct outdated terms and cross references, (4) clarify wording that is susceptible to differing interpretations, (5) correct typographical-errors, and' (6) make other minor changes.
The alternative to rulemaking would be to allow the status quo to i
continue. These minor amendments affect the public, industry and the NRC only in so far as they make the regulations easier to understand; implement, and enforce.
't-is estimated that 0.4 staff-years of NRC -
effort over 2 yeacs will be. required for the rulemaking.

Also, the proposed-amendment would impose augmented examination of reactor vessel shell welds and would. separate the requirements for inservice testing from those for inservice inspection by placing the require-i ments for inservice testing in a separate paragraph. The ASME Code provides rules for the construction of light-water-reactor nuclear w er plant components in Section III, Division 1, and provides
.les for the int.ervice inspection and inservice' testing of-those components in Section XI, Division 1.
The proposed rule would update the existing reference to'the ASME Code and would thereby permit the use of improved methods for the construction, inservice inspection, and inservice testing of nuclear, power plant components.
Incorporating by reference-the latest' addenda of the ASME Code would save applicants / licensees and the.NRC staff both time and effort by providing uniform detailed criteria < against which the staff could review any single submission, jIn-addition, the proposed rule would require licensees to augment their. reactor i
vessel examination by implementing the expanded reactor vessel shell weld examinations specified in the 1989 Edition ~of Section XI and would clarify the existing requirements in the regulation for i
inservice inspection and inservice testing.
This action will be handled as a routine updating of 10 CFR 50.55a of the NRC regulations.

j 10 CFR 73, Appendix'H i
ABSTRACT:
The proposed rule would amend the-Commission's regulations to require j
that security personnel qualify and requalify annually on-specific standardized day firing courses using all assigned weapons.. Current regulations require day firing qualification using a national police course or equivalent for handguns and an NRA or nationally recognized >
3 course for semiautomatic weapons. A firing course specified for-shotguns is in need of revision.
Recent amendments to Part l
73 added a requirement for night firing qualification using specific, designated firing courses.
To ensure uniformity, the current day firing requirements should be compatible.
1 i
Additionally, current regulations specify that security personnel have no physical weaknesses that would adversely affect their ~
performance of assigned job duties.
However, no regulatory standards exist for assuring that security personnel-are physically fit to perform their duties.
Requirements for a physical fitness program and fitness standards at Category I' fuel cycle facilities j
for security personnel need to be added to.the regulations in order to provide-a uniform, enforceable program. Guidance will be developed to ensure that such a program will not, at the same time, endanger the health of those participating in it, j
The proposed rule would. amend 10 CFR'Part 73, Appendix H..to include day firing qualification courses in each type of required weapon as well as a standardized physical fitness training course' and fitness standards for security personnel. Alternatives to the i
rulemaking would be to allow the status quo to continue.
Standardization of day firing courses to be consistent with-those established for night firing.would be of negligible cost to the 3-4 affected licensees end to the NRC because day firing qualification usii.; a variety of : iring courses is already being done. Physical fitness training programs would incur moderate costs to the:
licensees in the area of personnel time and limited physical. fitness equipment. The cost to the NRC would be in the' area of licensing and inspection activities. -Neither area of rulemaking affects occupational exposure.
It is estimated that 0.5 staff-years of effort over 2 years will be required for this rulemakiM.-

In 10 CFR Part 60, licensing requirements for disposal of radioactive wastes in geologic repositories, certain performance requirements for the repository are based on an assumption of;the occurrence of anticipated processes and events. :The specific meaning and use of this term,'and unanticipated processes and events, needs further clarification.
This rulemaking would modify the definition of these terms in i 60.2, modify 6 60.113, which
. describes the use of these~ terms, modify the definition of
" geologic setting" in i 60.2, and modify the use of that term in 9 60.102.
The objective of the rulemaking is to improve the licensing process for the geologic repository program.
It-would'have no adverse effects on the licensee or the public.
It.is expected that the
- resources expended by NRC on the rulemaking would be more than--
offset by resources saved during the licensing process.

I TITLE:
Emergency Response Data System RIN:
3150-AD32 l
CFR CIT'ATION:
i
. 10 CFR 50 ABSTRACT:
The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations by requiring the implementation of the NRC-approved Emergency Response Data System-(ERDS) at all licensed nuclear power plants. The
. primary role.of the NRC during an emergency at a licensed; nuclear 4
power facility is one of monitoring the licensee to_ assure that.
appropriate reconinendations are made with respect to necessary-offsite actions to protect public health and safety.
In order to l
adequately perform'its role during an emergency the NRC requires I
accurate and timely data on four types of parameters:.(1) the 1
reactor core and coolant system conditions to assess the extent or likelihood of core damage; (2) the conditions inside O',e containment.
buildingtoassessthelikelihoodofitsfailure;(3)the j
l radioactivity release rates to assess the immediacy and degree of' public danger; and (4) the data from the plant's' meteorological tower to assess the distribution of-potential or actual impact on the public.
r l
The Emergency Response Data System is a licensee-activated computer '
l data. link between the electronic data systems at licensed nuclear j'
power facilities and a central computer in the NRC' Operations Center.
Current experience with a voice-only emergency communication l
link, utilized for data-transmission, has demonstrated it to be slow and inaccurate.
Simulated site tests of the ERDS concept in--
emergency planning exercises have demonstrated that ERDS is.
effective between the NRC Operations. Center and affected licensees.
The rule would require that the licensees provide the required hardware and software to transmit the data in.a format specified by the NRC. The NRC would require that the licensee activate the ERDS as soon as possible following the declaration of an alert condition.
Based on a site survey of 80 percent of licensed facilities, the current estimates ofclicensee costs are $20K-50K for software and $0-100K for hardware.
The current estimated cost to NRC is $2.6 million. The proposed changes to 10 CFR Part 50 will ne issued for public comment.
The.rulemaking task will be scheduled over a'2-year period ending March 1991 and will consume.
2-3 staff-years of effort depending on the number and difficulty of conflicts to be resolved.

of shipment manifest information.
To ensure safe' disposal of LLW, the NRC must understand the mechanisms-and rates by which radioactivity can be released from LLW and into the environment.
To do this, the NRC must understand the chemical, physical, and radiological characteristics of LLW. This' task is greatly complicated by the heterogeneous nature of.LLW; it exists in a variety of chemical and. physical forms and contains roughly 200 different radionuclides in concentrations that can-range from a i
few microcuries to several hundred-curies per cubic foot.
Each 6
year there are thousands'of shipments to LLW disposal sites.
Pursuant to i 20.311, a manifest must accompany each shipment of LLW to a di posal facility.
Unfortunately, existing manifests do:not describe the waste in detail sufficient to ensure compliance with Part 61 ptrformance objectives.
In addition, NRC's regulations
}
do not reqeire that disposal site operators develop and operate computer sy tems for storage and manipulation of shipment manifest information.
The NRC believes that such onsite computer-systems are necessary for safe disposal facility operation. The NRC also believes thet a national data base is needed-which contains information on LLW disposed at all sites.

ABSTRACT:
=The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations-for the possession of industrial devices containing byproduct material to require device users to report to the NRC on a periodic basis.
The proposed report would indicate that the device is still in use or to whom the device has been transferred.
The proposed rule would be the most efficient method, considering the number of general licensees and the number'of devices currently in use, for assuring that devices are not improperly transferred or inadvertantly discarded. The proposed rule is necessary to avoid unnecessary-radiation-exposure to the public that may occur when an improperly j
discarded device is included in a batch of scrap metal foru reprocessing.
The proposed rule would also avoid the unnecessary j
expense involved in retrieving the manufactured items fabricated.
1 from contaminated metal. The proposed rule would impose a small burden on device users and the-NRC.

10 CFR 34 ABSTRACT:
The proposed rule would amend the Comission's regulations-on licenses for radiography and radiation safety requirements for.
radiographic operations to permit applicants for a license to-e indicate that all of their active radicaraphers are certified in radiation safety by the American Society for Nondestructive Testing (ASNT).
Current NRC sealed source radiography licensing requirements specify that an ap)licant will have an adequate-program for-training radiograpiers and will submit a schedule or description of the program including initial training, periodic retraining, on-the-job training, and the means to be used by the-licensee to determine the radiographer's knowledge and understanding of, and.
ability to comply with, Comission regulations and licensing.
requirements, and the operating and emergency procedures of the applicant. The NRC is proposing to )ermit applicants to affirm, in-lieu of submitting descriptions of t1eir' initial radiation safety training and radiographer qualification program, that all individuals acting as radiographers are or will be certified in i
radiation safety through the Industrial Radiography Radiation Safety Personnel Program of the ASNT.
Contingent upon an analysis q
of costs and benefits and demonstrated success of the ASNT certification program, the NRC is planning'to-initiate a subsequent' j
rulemaking which would require third-party certification of all radiographers.
The large radioactive sources used in industrial radiography pose serious hazards if radiation safety procedures are not rigorously adhered to.
Investigations by the NRC and Agreement-State programs have indicated that inedequate training is often a major contributing factor to radiography accidents. The staff believes that voluntary participation in the ASNT certification program has the potential to significantly improve safety awareness and performance.
The ASNT program will offer certification for both isotope and x-ray users. Certification would be valid for 5 years, with '
retesting required for renewal.
The staff expects that use of a certification program by licensees will not affect licensee training costs since the ASNT eligibility requirements include documented

ABSTRACT: (CONT) training.
Some small reduction in cost will be associated with the application process because, if a radiography licensee applicant elects-to have his or her staff-certified, he or she will not have to submit a detailed description of a planned-radiation safety.
training and testing program.
It is currently estimated that as-many as 10,000 radiographers could be involved in certification at an average cost of'!500-per radiographer. Thus, the total cost to the industr/ would be $6 million over a 5-year certificationJperiod, or $1.2 million.per year.
It is estimated that 0.3 staff-years of effort over 18 months will be required for this rulemaking.

ABSTRACT:
l The proposed rule would amend the Comission's regulations to require the implementation of the NRC's Emergency Telecomunications System l

actions to protect public health _and safety.
In order to adeqdately i
perform this function, the NRC' requires reliable comunications with the licensee and the regional offices.
Experience with the currently installed ETS has indicated that a sufficient number of problems exist to warrant a system upgrade.
The ETS upgrade will be comprised of a satellite network to transmit between the NRC Operations Center, the Regions, the Technical Training Center (TTC),andthelicenseesiteswithaland-basedtelephone l
exchange backup system.
This design is expected to 3rovide the necessary emergency telecomunications functions wit) sufficient i
redundancy to ensure availability even under the challenging comunication conditions that were existing _ during a nuclear, emergency. The licensees will be required to provide the hardware, logistics, operational and maintenance support to implement the ETS upgrade.at their sites.
It is estimated that about 2-3 staff-years of effort will be required for this rulemaking action.

of the individual's criminal history record by the FBI.
Information l
received from the FBI is reviewed by the licensee in order to determine whether further unescorted access to the: facility or to i

The. current regulations do not include a reinvestigation element.
In order to address the question of periodic reinvestigation, 10 CFR 73.57, " Requirements for Criminal History Checks of Individuals Granted Unescorted Access to a Nuclear Power Facility or Access to
~
l Safeguards Information by Power Reactor Licensees," would be amended. The amendment would require that licensees who. operate a nuclear power plant submit fingerprint cards for applicable i

-l Authorization for unescorted access;would 5e retained by an individual pending results of. the criminal history check on that-J individual's fingerprints.- The alternative is to allow the status quo to continue, with no reinvestigation of utility personnel required.-
This rulemaking will have a minimal impact on the NRC because of the NRC's limited participation in processing the reinvestigations.
The impact on industry will include the cost of fingerprinting and
~
submitting fingerprint cards through the NRC to the FBI'for criminal history checks. The current regulation requires payment of $21 per investigation, payable by the' industry.
It is expected that this rate would also apply for each reinvestigation and would constitute full reimbursement to the government.
It is estimated that 0.5 staff-years of effort over 2 years will be required for the rulemaking.

ABSTRACT:
The proposed rule would_ amend the Commission's regulations concerning additional preclosure regulatory requirements for high-level waste geologic repositories.
Several issues associated with preclosure regulatory requirements have been raised due to different interpretations of the rulemaking record for 10 CFR Part 60. These involve: -(a) the lack of clearly prescribed requirements for the establishment of a controlled-use area intended to protect public health and safety in the event of a-postulated radionuclide release and (b) the definition of structures, systems, and components important to safety for which certain design and quality assurance criteria-apply.
In order to meet the milestones mandated by the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, as amended, and milestones pertaining to DOE's production schedule in the Mission Plan amendments, guidance is needed from NRC on these matters to enable DOE to proceed with the siting'of a geologic l
repository.
The proposed amendments would require the establishment of a controlled-use area, based on radiation dose criteria, for the siting of geologic repositories.
In addition, a new definition of structures, systems, and components-important to safety would be added that would be similar to one in 10 CFR Part 72.'
It is estimated that 3.2 staffyears over a 2-year period will be required to complete i
the rulemaking.

l ABSTRACT:~
The proposed rule would amend the Comission's regulations to Egcr i
N p' establish material control and accounting requirements for C
special nuclear material of low strategic significance a
'nt. ;'.i,: enrichment plants, including requirements to prevent l
[ enrichment above a specified maximum.
There appears to >e serious connercial interest in the construction and o>eration.of a gas N. g p centrifuge plant that would produce low-enricted uranium for the l
commercial market. Such a plant would be licensed chiefly under Part 50. Although the )lant would be authorized to produce only-
,i low-enriched uranium, tie interest of the comon defense and security demands that the-NRC regulate the plant so as to assure with highest confidence that no centrifuge machine is used to produce.
l uranium in an enrichment higher than that authorized. This is a new and unique problem never before faced by the NRC. Accordingly, no NRC regulation'is explicitly designed to-deal with'.the problem.
A new 6 74.03, Nuclear Material Control and Accounting for Special Nuclear Material.of Low Strategic Significance at "r: rife ; OmoW(n Enrichment Plants, will be developed.
Thenewi74.33will-include material control and accountability requirements similar to those now required under 6 74.31, together with new requirements to assure that no ;;; ;;r,tr'fe;: :: P : is used to' enrich uranium above a specified limit.

l racture Toughness and Reactor Vessel Material Surveillance Requirements RIN:
3150-AD57 CFR CITATION:
10 CF" 50, Appendices G and H ABSTRACT:
The proposed rule would amend 10 CFR Part 50 of the Commission's regulations. Appendix G. Fracture Toughness Requirements,
)rovides the basis for calculating the pressure-temperature limits t1at appear in the Technical Specifications for every plant. By coincidence, the ASME Boiler and Pressure Yessel Code Appendix that is incorporated by reference is also Appendix G.
The additional requirements given in 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix G, are principally those needed to include the effects of neutron radiation i
embrittlement in the estimates of fracture toughness of the reactor vessel beltline as the vessel ages and accumulates neutron fluence.
To monitor the latter, Appendix H contains requirements for a reactor vessel material surveillance program.
It incorporates ASTM Standard Practice E 185 by reference.
The proposed rule would update the list of editions of E 185 that are incorporated to include the 1990 edition, which is now in the final balloting stages. Another purpose is to change the ASME. Code
- Appendix that is referenced in Appendix G, 10 CFR Part 50, from Appendix G of Section III, the construction cMt. to Appendix G in the 1989 Edition of Section XI, the inservice inspection code. At present the two appendices are identical. TLe reason for adding an Appendix G in the 1989 Edition of Section XI was to put it under the jurisdiction of a working group whose members %re taking an active interest in fracture issues as a consequence of working with the problems of operating plants.
Updating is expected to include l
advances in fracture analysis, because the original Appendix G of Section III has been in use since 1972.
The pacing item in the list of proposed amendments is to clarify the NRC's position on )ressure testing as agreed by the CRGR at their meeting on Novem>er 29, 1989. This requires that some words be deleted from paragraph IV.A.5 of Appendix G, 10 CFR Part 50, and a sentence added to reqdire that the pressure tests required by the i
ASME Code,Section XI, be performed before the reactor is taken critical folicwing a shutdowen and to reouire that the primary coolant system be essentially water solid during the test.
The proposed rule would also delete paragraph IV.B of Appendix G, which requires that reactor vessels be designed to permit annealing if they are predicted to undergo embrittlement to i

Decommissioning Regulations:
Recordkeeping and Termination for Decomm'issioning, Documentation Additions rih:
CFR CITATION:
10 CFR 30; 10 CFR 40; 10 CFR 50; 10 CFR 70; 10 CFR 72 ABSTRACT:
The proposed
- rule, in conjunction with the recently promulgated decommissioning rule amendments.
Would modify the Commission's decommissioning regulations to make them more apecific and more easily implemented. Current regulations require r(cordkeeping provisions as well as temination plans or their equivalent at cessation of operations.
However, no explicit requirements are specified in current rules pertaining to a listing of the land, structures, and equipment of the licensed facility; nor are any explicit requirements specified pertaining to submittal of an operating history at the time of submittal of final plans as well as prior to license termination.
Such information is important to ensure that all features and aspects of the facility and its attendant activities that could have potential for resulting in radioactive l
contamination have been dealt with in the decommissioning process and that '
a record exists that can be stored for future reference which contains the relevant features of the lic 1se termination process requirements.
There does not appear to be any reasonable alternative to -" Making action.
However, it is expected that most of the information explicitly i
required in these rule amendments will already, or with minima) effort, be available (based on the existing rule recordkeeping requirements).
Thus, while these rule amendments will affect all licensees, it is anticipated that such requirements will place minimal burden on them.
Moreover, ensuring that the information is explicitly available should help i
expedite NRC approval of licensee decommissioning activities and may reduce the overall licensee and NRC efforts required to terminate a license.
Proposed changes to the regulations will be issued for public comment.
The task will consume 1-2 staffyears of effort depending on the number and difficulty of conflicts to be resolved.

Residual Radioactivity Criteria for Unrestricted Release of Lands and Structures RIN:
CFR CITATION:
10 CFR 20 ABSTRACT:
The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations to codify the basic principles and criteria which would allow residua 11y contaminated lands and structures to be released for unrestricted public use. The rule would reflect Commission views as defined in the evolving Policy Statement on Exemptions from Regulatory Control; for example, lands and structures will be considered suitable for release for unrestricted use if the licensee demonstrates that such action will comply with the exemption policy's individual and collective dose criteria and other policy conditions. In the final rule on General Requirements for Decommissioning Nuclear Facilities (63 FR 2418) dated June 27, 1988, the need and urgency for guidance with respect to residual contamination criteria was expressed.
At that time, it was anticipated that an interagency working group organized by the Environmental Protection Agency would develop necessary '
Federal guidance. However, in the absence of significant progress by the interagency working group, the Commission has directed that the NRC staff i
should expedite a
residual radioactivity rulemaking because the requirements, once final, will provide licensees with an incentive to complete site decommissionings.
The rule would codify the bas,w principles and criteria expressed in the anticipated Commission Policy Statement on Exemptions from Regulatory Control.
Measurables, in the form of surface and volume radioactivity concentrations and site radioactivity inventory values, would be provided in supporting regulatory guidance.
These combined activities should benefit the public, industry and the NRC by prov 9tng a risk-based framework upon which decommissioning activities and license terminations can be accomplished.
The framework will assure adequate protection of public health and safety and identify residual radioactivity criteria upon which licensees can confidently develop reasonable and responsible decommissioning plans.

TITLE: Timeliness in Conduct of Decommissioning of Material Facilities
{
RIN:
CFR CITATION:
l 10 CFR 30; 10 CFR 40; 10 CFR 70; 10 CFR 72 ABSTRACT:
The proposed rule would amend present regulations to require i
decontamination and decommissioning of material facilities within a fixed period of time after cessation of operations.
Current regulations allow material licensees considerable discretion as to the timing of decontamination and decommissioning.
This has allowed some licensees to rem,in inactive without decommissioning on the basis that operations may resume sometime in the future.
Similarly, licensees are not required to decontaminate promptly, in step-by-step fashion, portions of their facilities that become inactiva as their operations evolve. This allows licensees to postpone heavy decommissioning costs by simply continuing sufficient controls, monitoring, and surveillance to meet minimal safety requirements.
10 CFR Parts 30, 40, 70, and 72 would be amended to require decontamination and decommissioning of materials facilities within a fixed period of time (e.g., 2-3 years) af ter cessation of operations. This requirement would be accompanied by a provision for the licensee to seek a variance if completion of decontamination or decommissioning within the required times is not technically achievable or if delaying decontamination or decommissioning would reduce risk to public health and safety or the environment.
One alternative is to allow the status quo to continue.
However, this leaves the NRC vulnerable to lawsuit and additional delays when it is l
forced to issue orders to licensees who unnecessarily delay decontamination l
and decommissioning of their facilities.
A second alternative would be i
to amend individual material licenses to require timely decontamination and decommissioning.
However, this would involve thousands of licensing actions, and each action could be contested on the basis that the NRC had established no basis for the requirement.
I
(
The rulemaking will result in publication of specific criteria for timeliness in decontamiliation and decommissioning of material facilities.
This rulemaking will provide a more substantial planning base for the industry and result in timely decontamination and decommissioning of material facilities.
The resulting timely decontamination and decommissioning of materials facilities will reduce the potential radiological risk to the public and the environment from contaminated materials sites.
The rulemaking is not expected to substantially affect licensee costs.
It is estimated that 1.6 staffyears of effort and $100K in contractual-assistance over 2' years will be required for the rulemaking.

P TITLE: Fitness-for-Duty Programs for Category I Fuel Facilities and Shipments RIN:
CFR CITATION:
10 CFR 26 ABSTRACT:
The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations to include Category I fuel facilities and Category I shipments.
This action is necessary to ensure fitness for duty of employees (1) who have direct access to larger quantities of special nuclear material (SNM); (?) who are largely responsible for the protection of the material; and (3) who transport the material.
The proposed rule is expected to lead to compatibility with equivalent DOE programs.
The central issue for Category I-type facilities and shipments is the risk of thef t or diversion of high-enriched SNM due to drug-related pressures which, in turn, could. pose a significant risk to the health, safety, or security of large populations.
Part 26 currently only covers nuclear power plants and needs to be expanded to include Category I facilities and shipments with requirements reflecting the differences between the nuclear '
power plants and the Category I facilities and shipments.
There is no alternative to rulemaking which would accomplish the objectives of the rulemaking.
The rulemaking will address the general performance objectives, program elements and procedures, inspections, records and reports, audits, and enforcement of the fitness-for-duty programs as they pertain to the type of facility or mode of shipment.
The impact of the rule on the NRC will be with regard to the licensing inspection and enforcement procedures with l
an approximate cost of i staffyear per year.
The cost to industry will include chemical testing and operating costs.
It is estimated that 0.5 staffyears of effort over 2 years will be required for the rulemaking.
