Decommissionina Timeliness.

Review compliance with the Dec mmissioning Timeliness Rule requirements in 10 CFR 30.J6(d) through (h). This is one area of the field notes that should be completed on all inspections.

If i

the license to conduct principal activities has expired or been revoked:

if the licensee has made a decision to permanently cease principal activities at the site. in any separate building or at any outdoor area; or if there has been a 24-ronth duration when no principal activities were conducted at the site. In any separate building, or at any outdoor area. then the decommissioning timeliness requirements in 10 :FR 30.36.

40.42. 70.38, or Part 72 apply.

If this is the case, complete in full the " Decommissioning Timeliness Inspection Field Notes." Attachment A to Append 1x A.

02.12 Transoortation. Verify that the licensee's procedures and documentation are sufficient to ensure that licensed material is transported in accordance with 10 CFR Part 71 and 007 regulations for transportation of radioactive materials.

02.13 Postino and labelina. Verify that the licensee has posted the appropriate i

documents, notices, forms, and caution signs as required.

Also verify that containers of licensed material are labeled appropriately.

02.14 Generic Communications of Information.

Confirm that the licensee is receiving the applicable bulletins. in

  • n t.... ' ices. NMSS Newsletter, etc.

Verify that the licensee has taken appropriate action in response to these notices.

02.15 Notifications and Reports. Determine compliance with the regulaticas and license requirements for notification and reports to NRC.

02.16 Special License Condit1cns.

If applicable. review the licensee's compliance with any special license conditions.

02.17 intdecendent and Confirmatory Measurements.

Compare and verify, on a sampling basis, survey results or date that are used by the licensee to show Conduct independent compliance with the regulations or license conditions.

measurements to ascertain the radiological conditions of the facility. Conduct these independent measurements on all inspections under this inspection procedure, unless warranted by special circumstances.

If independent measurements were not made, provide a justification in the field notes explaining why independent measurements were not performed.

The inspector shall use radiation detection instruments calibrated at intervals not to exceed six months.

02.18 Exit Meetina.

The inspector will conduct an exit meeting with senior licensee management and the RSO to discuss the preliminary inspection findings.

These will include any apparent violations, safety-related concerns, and any items identified during the inspection.

Discuss any negative unresolved Performance Evaluation Factors (PEFs) and encourage the licensee to respond w the PEFs of concern.

For further guidance, refer to IP 87107

" Performance Evaluation Factors."

02.19 Post Insoection Actions.

After an inspection, the inspector shall summarize the findings with his/her appropriate NRC supervisor.

This is especially important if there are, or are expected to be, controversial issues arising from the findings.

Inspectors shall also meet with regional licensing staff when any pertinent licensing issues are raised during the inspection, when inspection findings R7113 ATTACHMENT ' Issue Date:

24-month duration in which no principal activities have been conducted in such areas.

A principal activity is one which is essential to the purpose for which a license was issued or amended, and does not include storage incidental to decontamination or decommissioning.

If the licensee meets any of the above conditions, the decommissioning timeliness requirements apply, and the inspector must complete the Decomissioning Timeliness Inspection Field Notes. Attachment A to Appendix A.

The requirements of 10 CFR 30.36. 40.42, and 70.38 do not apply to released rooms within a building where principal activities are still on-However, in those cases, the going in other parts of the same building.

inspector should follow the guidance in 03.11.e. regarding confirmatory measurements of the released area. Once principal activities have ceased in the entire building, then the decommissiar..:9 timeliness requirements will take effect.

The Decommissioning Timeliness Rule became effective on August 15. 1994.

In completing Attachment A of the field notes, specific guidance is If the needed regarding the timing of the notification requirements.

license has expired or been revoked, or if the licensee has made a decision to permanently cease princir.al activities, and the licensee orovided NRC notification before Auaust 15. 1994. then August 15.1994 is considered to be the date for initiating the decommissioning calendar (i.e., date of natification).

If there has been a 24-month duration in which no principal activities have been conducted at the location before the effective date of the rule, but the licensee did not notify NRC then the 24-month time period of inactivity is considered to be initiated on August 15. 1994, and the licensee must provide notification to NRC within d

either 30 or 60 days of August 15.1996 (depending on whether the 7

NRC has a stringent enforcement policy with respect to violations of the Failure to comply with the decommissioning timeliness requirements.

Decommissioning Timeliness Rule (failure to notify NRC. failure to meet decommissioning standards. failure to complete decomissioning activities in accordance with regulation or license condition, or failure to meet required decomissioning schedules without adequate justification) may be classified as a Severity Level III violation and may result in 87113 Issue Date:

consideration of monetary civil penalties or other enforcement actions, as appropriate.

Decommissioning timeliness issues can be complex. For situations where an inspector has questions about the licensee's status and whether the decommissioning timeliness standards apply, he/she should immediately l

contact regional management.

i PFor planning and conducting inspections of licensees undergoing l

g

[p#ho decommissioning, refer to IMC 2602. " Decommissioning Inspection Program for Fuel Cycle Facilities and Materials Licensees;"

IP 87104.

"Decomissioning Inspection Procedure for Materials Licensees:" and the draft Decommissioning Manual Chapter and Handbook.

v 03.12 Transoortation.

The inspector should review: the licensee's hazardous material training:

packages and associated documentation: vehicles (including placarding, cargo alocking, and bracing, etc.): shipping papers; and any incidents reported to DOT.

This is an ideal area for the inspector to make observations of 1.censee practices.

The DOT and NRC regulations for transportation of radioactive materials were recently revised, and the revisions generally became effective April 1.1996.

For further inspection guidance, refer to IP 86740. " Inspection of Transportation Activities." Inspectors should also refer closely to " Hazard Communications for C'a.

7 (Radioactive) Haterials." the NRC field raference charts on hazard commu... cations for transportation of radioactive materials, which contain references to the new transportation requirements, and are useful field references for determining compliance with the transportation rules on labeling.

placarding, shipping papers, and package markings.

l 03.13 Postino and labelina.

The inspector should determine whether proper f

caution signs are being used at access points to areas containing licensed materials, radiation areas, and those areas containing airborne radioactive materials.

10 CFR 20.1903 provides exceptions to posting caution signs. When applicable, the inspector should also randomly examine signals and alarms to determine operability.

The inspector should also randomly observe labeling on packages or other containers to determine that proper information (e.g.

isotope, quantity, and date of measurement) is recorded.

Areas with radiation hazards should be conspicuously posted, as required by 10 CFR 20.1902.

Depending on the associated hazard, controls may include tape.

rope, or structural barriers to prevent access.

If volatile licensed materials area, such an area should be controlled for airborne are used in an contamination.

High radiation areas should be strictly controlled to prevent unauthorized or inadvertent access.

Such controls may include, but are not limited to, direct surveillance, locking the high radiation area, warning lights.

and audible alarms. Areas occupied by radiation workers for long periods of timo and common use areas should be controlled in accordance with licensee procedures and be consistent with the licensee's ALARA program.

The inspector should Cso examine locations where notices to workers are posted.

Applicable documents, notices, or forms should be posted in a sufficient number of places to permit individuals engaged in licensed activities to observe them on the way to or from any particular licensed activity location to which the postings would apply.

REVIEW OF DRAFT INSPECTION PROCEDURFS 87111-87114 Duane W. Schmidt NMSS/DWM/ URB This reviewer has no major comments. The following are a few minor editorial comments.

i l

1. In Appendix A to Procedure 87112, for Panoramic Irradiator Programs, the section numbering has repeated numbers (there are two each of sections 11 and 12).

l

2. In the appendices to the procedures (the field notes pages), one section discusses the receipt, use, transfer, and control of materials. In this section, there is a check-off item for wiping all incoming packages "...unless exempted..." (or similar language). Actually, " excepted" may be a better term than " exempted" because the language refers to exceptions, written into the regulations, for gases and special form. See table below for pages affected, l
3. In two locations in the appendices, " principal," meaning primary, has been m.

pelled as l

" principle." See table below for pages affected.
