SUBJECT:
FORMAT FOR ANNUAL INSPECTION REPORTS FOR UMTRCA TITLE I SITES
.j
Dear Mr. Virgona:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff has completed its review of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) proposed _ format for annual inspection 1
reports for Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act (UMTRCA) Title I_
-1 sites. The 1996 annual inspection report for the UMTRCA Title I Lowman,.
l Idaho, project disposal site was prepared by DOE in the proposed format and j
provided to the NRC staff.for its review.
It is the NRC staff's understanding
' that, if it is found to be acceptable, DOE will submit future annual site
' inspection reports in the proposed format for sites placed under the NRC general license at 10 CFR 40.27.
Based on its review, the NRC staff-finds, in general; the format to be acceptable. The staff does, however,'have a couple of recommendations.
First, Criterion 12 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 40 requires that inspection results-for_.'all sites be reported within 90 days of the'last site inspection in that calendar year. However, for sites at which unusual damage or.
disruption is discovered during the inspection, a preliminary site, inspection q
- report is required within 60 days. The NRC staff recommends that site inspection reports identify upfront which type'of report that it-is.
Secondly, the NRC staff recommends that the first page of each inspection report contain a summary of the inspection observations and findings and reference the " Conclusions and Recoaniendations" section of the report-(Section 3.0 in the Lowman inspection r,eport) for details.
