February 5,1993 Docket No. 70-1193 License No. SNM-ll74 Cimarron Corporation ATTN: J.C. Stauter, Director Environmental Services P.O. Box 25861 Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73125
Dear Mr. Stauter:
RE:
License No. SNM-ll74; Docket No. 70-1193 Request for Termination of Plutonium Plant License Pursuant to Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 70, Special Nuclear Material License No. $NM-ll74 is hereby terminated as you requested in your letter of August 20, 1990.
The staff has determined that (1) all special nuclear material relating to this license has been properly disposed, (2) reasonable effort has been made to eliminate residual radioactive contamination, and (3) a radiation survey has been performed, and confirmed by the NRC, which demonstrates that the )remises are suitable for release for unrestricted use. We are enclosing tie Safety Evaluation Report in support of these findings.
The Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant impact were sent to you by letter dated February 5, 1993.
This license termination is granted on the basis, in part, of the information provided by the licensee that documents the decontamination work and the concentrations and distribution of residual radioactive contamination remaining on the facilities and grounds covered by License No. SNM-ll74.
The NRC's existing criteria for residual radioactivity at decommissioning, as applied to the decontamination of the facilities and grounds covered by License No. SNM-ll74, are judged adequate to protect the health and safety of the public and the environment.
However with regard to the possession and use of special nucicar material, source material, and byproduct material, the NRC has authority under Sec.161 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, to require action to protect health or to minimize panger to life or property, even after license termination.
The Action Plan states the NRC Position:
"If a licensee or responsible party cleaned up a site, or was in the process of cleaning up a site, under an NRC-approved decommissioning plan, the NRC will not require the licensee to conduct additional cleanup in response to NRC criteria.or standards established after NRC approval of the plan. An exception to this case would be in the event that additional contamination, or noncompliance with the plan, is found indicating a significant threat to public health and safety.
Noncompliance would occur when a licensee'or

responsible party does not comply with an approved decommissioning plan,-or provides' false information."
The termination.of License No. SNH-ll74 does.not alter your Special Nuclear Material Licenso No. SNM-928 (Docket No.70-925) in any way. - Because the Tind formerly licensed under License No. SNM-ll74 is contained within the bounds of License No. SNM-928, a second confirmatory survey of the.former Mixed-Oxide f acility and associated grounds may be made at the time of termination of the Uranium Facility license. Any cross-contamination will be required to be remediated before the Uranium Facility license will be terminated.-
If you have any questions as a result of this a'ction, please.rontact John T.

The termination of License No. SNM-ll?4 does not alter your Special Nuclear Material License No. SNM-928 (Docket No.70-925) in any way.
Because the land formerly licensed under License No SNM-Il74 is contained within the bounds of License No. SNM-928, a second conflimatory survey of the former Mixed-Oxide facility and associated grounds may be made at the time of termination of the Uranium Facility license.
Any cross-contamination will be required to be remediated befoie the Uranium Facility license will be terminated, if you have any questions as a result of this action, please contact John T.
