e NOTICE OF STATE WORKSHOPS FOR REVIEW 0F NRC DECOMMISSIONING POLICY The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is now considering development of a more explicit overall policy for nuclear facility decommissioning and amending its regulations in 10 CFR Parts 30, 40, 50, and 70 to include more specific guidance on decommissioning criteria for production and utilization facility licensees and by-product, source and special nuclear material licensees. An Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking was published in the Federal Register on March 13,1978 (FR 4310370-10371, FR Doc. 78-6461).
The NRC Staff set forth in detail its proposed plan for the development of an overall NRC policy on decommissioning of nuclear facilities in NUREG-0436,
" Plan for Reevaluation of NRC Policy on Decommissioning of Nuclear Facilities" March 1978.
To obtain the views of the States on its policy, NRC is holding three regional workshops to discuss the specifics of the NRC plan (NUREG-0436) as well as its first two decommissioning reports (NUREG-0278), " Technology, Safety, and l
Costs of Decommissioning a Reference Nuclear Fuel Reprocessing Plant" and NUREG/ CR-0130 " Technology, Safety, and Costs of Decommissioning a Reference Pressurized Water Reactor".
The Governors, i.egislative leadership and Public Utility Chairmen of each State have been invited to send representatives to participate in any one of the three workshops.
Information developed at the workshops will be considered in the reevaluation of NRC's decommissioning policy.
The results of additional studies now underway, involving other types of nuclear activities,will be discussed at workshops planned for 1979.
