Mr. Thomas Ortciger, Director Illinois Department of Nuclear Safety 1035 Outer Park Drive Springfield, IL 62704

Dear Mr. Ortciger:

i Given the significance of the revised 10 CFR Part 20 rule to both NRC and Agreement j- State programs, NRC undertook a review of all Agreement State final Part 20 equivalent i

' rules for compatibility with 10 CFR Part 20. The review was conducterl as a two step process. The first step involved a review by Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), under 4 i- contract with NRC, to identify any differences or inconsistencies between 10 CFR Part 20 l l and each Agreement State equivalent rule. A copy of the two volume ORNL report, dated l January 18,1995, documenting its staff reviev."of the Illinois final 10 CFR Part 20 1 equivalent rule, is enclosed for your information and use (Enclosure 1). The second part of the review was conducted by NRC staff and consisted of a review of the differences and *

, inconsistencies identified by ORNL for compatibility and adequacy significance. l I

The NRC revieve focused on those provisions of your rule that are required for compatibility I or for health and safety under the new adequacy and compatibility policy statement approved by the Commission by Staff Requirements Memorandum dated June 30,1997

, (F.nclosure 2 describes the new compatibility categories). Enclosure 3 provides our

comments on the State's regulations and shows the current compatibility divisions (i.e.,1
and 2) and the corresponding new compatibility categories (i.e., A, B, C, D, NRC, and l H&S). There are three provisions, as noted in Enclosure 3, that are not compatible with 10 CFR Part 20 under current compatibility procedures. .We note, however, that in the final Integrated Materials Performance Evaluation Program (IMPEP) Report, that the Management Review Board (MRB) found the Illinois Agreement State program compatible and recommended that the NRC staff re-evaluate the compatibility classification for one of the provisions under the new adequacy and compatibility policy statement. This provision is the Part 340.30 definition of " declared pregnant vroman." These MRB findings and i discussions resolved allissues related to Illinois' cc ioition of " declared pregnant woman"

! and " dose to an embryo / fetus." The only remaining issue to be resolved is the definition of

" Generally Applicable Environmental Standards."

'Nithin 45 days, we request that you respond in writing with information describing the actions you plan to take to address the omission of the definition of " Generally Applicable

Environmental Radiation Standards" from the Illinois regulations. As you are aware, Agreement States have flexibility to adopt rules required for compatibility in the form of legally binding requirements other than regulations. This methodology may be appropriate to resolve compatibility issues raised with Illinois' regulations,

Mr. T. Ortcigsr .

State Programs, implementing procedures for this new policy tatement indicate that incompatible Agreement State rules should conform with the ew policy not later than three years after the policy's effective date.

Please note that under the compatibility categories for the ew adequacy and compatibility policy statement, all three of the provisions are identified s compatibility category A.

Category A means that a State should adopt the require ents using essentially identical language. As you may be aware, Agreement States hav flexibility to adopt rules required for compatibility in the form of legally binding requirem nts other than regulations. This methodology may be appropriate to resolve the compa ibility issues raised with Illinois' regulations.

irradiators NOTES:

General Comments  :

  1. IDNS regulations use a coding convention for superscripts "( )" and subscripts "[ }". The official version of the regulations, with the Coding Division of the Secretary of State's office, contains an explanation of the mntion. See ORNL Major Point 4.

+

@ New compatibility category D. Not a compatibility issue.

+ lilinois does not " register" radioactive materials. The omission of the term " registered" in IDNS regulations is not a compatibility concem. This issue is addressed in ORNL Major Point 1.

Specific Comments

1. Definition "Airbome radioactivity area" (Division 1)

IDNS interpretation of" operating area" is not more limiting than the NRC definition. A compatibility ruling was made in the September 7,1995 8

?

Rule Review: [ Agreement State ] Part 20 equivalent compatibility requirements letter to the State. ~!

2. Definition " Background radiation" (Division 1) ..

IDNS substitutes " radioactive materials" for " source, byproduct or special nuclear materials"'as stated in 10 CFR 20.1003. No significant difference. ,

3. Definition " Controlled area" (Division 1) t

, The State has chosen not to adopt the " controlled area" concept. This is not a compatibility issue. ' See ORNL Major Point 2. j

4. Definition " Declared pregnant woman" (Division 1) j The definition of
  • declared pregnant woman" contains a clause allowing a woman to declare her pregnancy but not provide an estimated date.

of conception."Section 340.280 describes methods for dealing with situations when a woman withholds the estimated date of conception. Both ' l the. 340.30 definition and 340.280 are compatibility Division 1 (Category A) regulations and are not compatible with NRC regulations. This  ;

compatibility concem was communicated to IDNS in the September 7,1995 letter from NRC and in the April 25,1997 draft IMPEP report.:  ;

~:

i 5. Definition " Dose equivalent" -(Division 1) . . .

~ The State adds a parenthetical example of a modifying factor "(e. g., a distribution factor for non-uniform deposition)" to the definition of dose equivalent. As modifying factors are not currently used in determining dose equivalent, the addition of the example has no effect on '

compatibility.  ;

6. Definition " Exposure" (Division 1) .

The State provides two definitions for " exposure" as does the SSR. The second definition is essentially identical to 10 CFR 20.1003, the first l-is additional non-conflicting information.

i '
7. Definition " Generally applicable environmental radiation standards"' (Division 1)

IDNS omitted the definition of " generally applicable environmental radiation standards." The term is used in 340.1230. This is a compatibility i Division 1 (Category A) regulation. j

8. Definition
  • Individual monitoring devices" (Division 1)

The State adds electronic dosimeters to the definition of" individual monitoring devices." This addition does not cause conflicts or gaps and - i is considered compatible.

9. Definition " Member of the public" (Division 1) .

lDNS defines

  • member of the public" to exclude an individual who is performing duties for the licensee or reaistrant. This definition is consistent '

Rule Review: [ Agreement State ] Part 20 equivalent compatibility requirements -

with the December 1995 SSR (see " occupational dose" definition below) and is therefore compatible with 10 CFR 20.1003. -

10.' Definition " Occupational dose" (Division 1) . _

. IDNS omitted the phrase."in a restricted area or" from the definition. NRC modified the definition in 10 CFR 20.1003 in 1995 to remove the "in a restricted or" clause and therefore this portion of the IDNS definition is compatible with NRC regulations. The ORNL~ review of this . - ,

definition also identified a difference with the SSR where IDNS limited the definition to include only individuals performing duties for the licensee .

or reoistrant. This modified definition is consistent with the December 1995 SSR (Part A) definition of " occupational dose" and is therefore compatible with NRC regulations. .

i

11. Definition " Unrestricted area" (Division 1): .

IDNS clarifies the " unrestricted area" definition to specify that the area is controlled for purposes of Drotection of individuals from exDosure to radiation and radioactive material. and any area used for residential cuarters. No conflict or gap is created by this clarification and this definition '

is considered compatible. -

i

12. Definition " Year" (Division 1) .

The 10 CFR 20.1003 definition of " year" allows a licensee to change the starting date of the year used to determine compliance provided that the change is made at the beginning of the year. lDNS allows a change in the year provided that the decision to make the change is made before the end of the previous year. The change is insignificant and is considered compatible.

i 13. 340.220 " Compliance with requirements for summation of extemal and intemal doses" (Division 1) i 340.220 is inconsistent with the SSR regarding notation of committed dose. equivalent but is the same as 10 CFR 20.1202 and is therefore - ,

compatible.

14. 340.240 " Determination of intemal exposure" . (Division 1). .

NRC's regulation comment letter dated August 12,1993, discussed IDNS' use of the term "during normal conditions of operations" in 340.240.

IDNS responded in a letter dated October 12,' 1993, that the word " normal" was deleted from the final version of the rules. This addition of 1 the term "during the conditions of operations", with " normal" eliminated, does not change the meaning of the rule and is compatible with 10 CFR 1204. The addition of the term "after exposure to materials that could result in an intake"is an insignificant clarification which does not create j a conflict or gap and is therefore compatible.

15. 340.280 " Dose to an embryo / fetus" (Division 1) .

The definition of " declared pregnant woman" contains a clause allowing a woman to declare her pregnancy but not provide an estimated date ,

of conception. Section 340.280 describes methods for dealing with situations when a woman withholds the estimated date of conception. Both  !

the 340.30 definition and 340.280 are compatibility Division 1 (Category A) regulations and are not compatible with NRC regulations. This 10- ,

Rule Review: { Agreement State ] Part 20 equivalent compatibility requirements  :

compatibility concem was communicated to IDNS in the September 7,1995 letter from NRC and in the April 25,1997 draft IMPEP report.' -

16. 340.310 " Dose limits for individual members of the public" (Division 1) .

NRC's regulation comment letter dated August 12,1993, discussed IDNS' grandfathering of current facilities to the 0.5 rem total effective dose equivalent. IDNS modified 340.310 in 1994 to remove the grandfathering clause and is now compatible with .10 CFR 20.1301. Exclusion of l radiation machines (State jurisdiction) from the limit does not affect compatibility with NRC regulations. _

i

17. 340.610 " Control of access to high radiation areas" (Division 1) .

Discussing attemative methods for controlling access to high radiation areas, IDNS substitutes the term "to enable action to be taken to prevent" -

rather than NRC's "that is capable of preventing." The IDNS rule clarifies that it is not the additional surveillance that stops someone from

. entering a high radiation area but the follow-up actions which are initiated upon detection of someone attempting to enter the area. This rule .

is compatible with 10 CFR 20.1601.  ;

18. 340.910 " Caution signs" - (Division 1) .

t IDNS omined two paragraphs describing coloration of the three-bladed radiation symbol. 340.910 states, however, "shall use the colors magenta, or purple, or black on yellow background. This description of the required colors is adequate. The IDNS regulation also differs from, d 10 CFR 20.1901 in the Additional Information on Sions and Labels section. The NRC regulation states " .the licensee shall provide, on or near -

the required signs and labels, additional information, as appropriate..." The IDNS regulation uses the word may instead of the word shall. ' As the additional information is not required to be provided, the use of "may" instead of "shall" is appropriate and compatible.

19. 340.950 " Exceptions to labeling requirements" (Division 1) [

IDNS, by law, cannot include requirements referenced in non-specific documents such as 10 CFR or 49 CFR. If another document is referenced, it must be specifically identified with the applicable date. Referenced dates are modified in the IDNS regulations as significant changes are made to the Federal agency regulations. The regulations are essentially the same and are deemed compatible 3

- 20. 340.1010 " Waste disposal-General requirements" '(Division 2)  !

This issue was addressed by IDNS in the October 12,1993, letter to NRC. IDNS prefers to evaluate each decay-in-storage request and grant authorization by license condition. This approach meets the objective of 10 CFR 20.2001. [

i

21. 340.1030 " Disposal by release into sanitary sewerage" (Division 2)  ;

Since lilinois does not have registered or "other" radioactive material (it is all licensed), the omission of these terms allows this regulation to i i remain compatible with 10 CFR 20.2003.

22. 340.1210 " Reports of stolen, lost er missing sources of radiation" (Division 2) [

i

.h 11 .

l

Rule Review: [ Agreement State ] Part 20 equivalent compatibility requirements 340.1210 omits the requirement to identify a radiation machine's " maximum energy of radiation emitted" if that machine is lost or stolen.

Radiation machines are beyond the scope of NRC regulations. This regulation meets the objective of 10 CFR 20.2201.

23. 340.1220 " Notification of incidents" (Division 1)

Consistent with the SSR, IDNS adds a requirement for incident reporting for a total organ dose equivalent" in addition to the incidents reportable under 10 CFR 20.2202. Its meaning is the same as the reportable quantity specified in 10 CFR 20.2106(a)(6). 340.1220 meets the objective of the NRC regulation. (See NRC Regulatory Guide 8.7, Rev.1,1992).

24. 340.1230 "Reperts of exposures, radiation levels and concentrations of radioactive material exceeding the limits" (Division 2)

IDNS, by law, cannot include requirements referenced in non-specific documents such as 40 CFR. If another document is referenced, it must be specifically identified with the applicable date. Referenced dates are modified in the IDNS regulations as significant changes are made to the Federal agency regulations. The regulations are essentially the same and are deemed compatible.

IDNS regulations use a coding convention for superscripts "( )" and subscripts "[ ]". The official version of the regulations, with the Coding Division of the Secretary of State's office, contains an explanation of the convention. See ORNL Major Point 4.  ;

@ New compatibility category D. Not a compatibility issue. ,

+ lilinois does not " register" radioactive materials. The omission of the term " registered" in IDNS regulations is not a compatibility concem. This ~i issue is addressed in ORNL Major Point 1. j Specific Comments j

1. Definition "Airbome radioactivity area" -(Division 1)  !

IDNS interpretation of " operating area" is not more limiting than the NRC definition. A compatibility ruling was made in the September 7,1995 l

letter to the State

2. Definition " Background radiation" (Division 1)

IDNS substitutes " radioactive materials" for " source, byproduct or special nuclear materials" as stated in 10 CFR 20.1003. No significant' i difference.

3. Definition " Controlled area" (Division 1)

The State has chosen not to adopt the " controlled area" concept. This is not a compatibility issue. See ORNL Major Point 2.

4. Definition " Declared pregnant woman" (Division 1)

The definition of " declared pregnant women" contains a clause allowing a woman to declare her pregnancy but not provide an estimated date of conception. Section 340.280 describes methods for dealing with situations when a woman withholds the estimated date of conception. Both the 340.30 definition and 340.280 are compatibility Division 1 (Category A) regulations and are not compatible with NRC regulations. This compatibility concem was communicated to IDNS in the' September 7,1995 letter from NRC and in the April 25,1997 draft IMPEP report.'

5. Definition " Dose equivalent"- (Division 1)

The State adds a parenthetical example of a modifying factor "(e. g., a distribution factor for non-uniform deposition)" to the definition of dose equivalent. As modifying factors are not currently used in determining dose equivalent, the addition of the example has no effect on compatibility.

6. Definition " Exposure" (Division 1)

The State provides two definitions for "expVure" as does the SSR. The second definition is essentially identical to 10 CFR 20.1003, the first is additional non-conflicting information.

' 7. Definition

  • Generally applicable environmental radiation standards" (Division 1)

IDNS omitted the definition of" generally applicable environmental radiation standards." The term is used in 340.1230. This is a compatibility Division 1 (Category A) regulation.

8. Definition
  • Individual monitoring devices" (Division 1)

The State adds electronic dosimeters to the definition of " individual monitoring devices." This addition does not cause conflicts or gaps and is considered compatible.

9. Definition " Member of the public" (Division 1) -

IDNS defines " member of the public" to exclude an individual who is performing duties for the licensee or reaistrant. This definition is consistent 9

with the December 1995 SSR (see " occupational dose

10. Definition " Occupational dose" (Division 1) l lDNS omitted the phrase "in a restricted area or" from the definition. NRC modified the definition in 10 CFR 20.1003 in 1995 to remove the i "in a restricted or" clause and therefore this portion of the IDNS definition is compatible with NRC regulations. The ORNL review of this definition also identified a difference with the SSR where IDNS limited the definition to include only individuals performing duties for the licensee or reaistrant. This modified definition is consistent with the December 1995 SSR (Part A) definition of " occupational dose" and is therefore .

compatible with NRC regulations.

11. Definition " Unrestricted area" (Division 1)

, IDNS clarifies the "unrestric+ed area' definition to specify that the area is controlled for purposes of protection of individuals from exposure to -

radiation and radioactive material. and any area used for residential cuarters. No conflict or gap is created by this clarification and this definition -

i is considered compatible. ,

12. Definitien " Year" (Division 1) _

The 10 CFR 20.1003 definition of " year" allows a licensee to change the starting date of the year used to determine comoliance provided that the change is made at the beginning of the year. IDNS allows a change in the year provided that the decision to make the change is made  !

before the end of the previous year. The change is insignificant and is considered compatible.

l 13. 340.220

  • Compliance with requirements for summation of extemal and intemal doses" (Division 1) '

i 340.220 is inconsistent with the SSR regarding notation of committed dose equivalent but is the same as 10 CFR 20.1202 and is therefore compatible.  ;

14. 340.240 " Determination of intemal exposure" (Division 1)

NRC's regulation comment letter dated August 12,1993, discussed IDNS' use of the term "during normal conditions of operations" in 340.240.

IDNS responded in a letter dated October 12,1993, that the word " normal" was deleted from the final version of the rules. This addition of  ;

the term "during the conditions of operations", with " normal' eliminated, does not change the meaning of the rule and is compatible with 10 CFR  !

1204. The addition of the term "after exposure to materials that could result in an intake" is an insignificant clarification which does not create  !

a conflict or gap and is therefore compatible.

15. 340.280 " Dose to an embryo / fetus" (Division 1)  !

The definition of " declared pregnant woman" contains a clause allowing a woman to declare her pregnancy but not provide an estimated date 1 of conception. Section 340.280 describes methods for dealing with situations when a woman withholds the estiraated date of conception. Both  !

the 340.30 definition and 340.280 are compatibility Division 1 (Category A) regulations and are not compatible with NRC regulations. This i

Rule Review: [ Agreement State ] Part 20 equivalent compatibility requirements compatibility concem was communicated to IDNS in the September 7,1995 letter from NRC and in the April 25,1997 draft IMPEP report. ,

16. 340.310 " Dose limits for individual members of the public" (Division 1) ,

NRC's regulation comment letter dated August 12,1993, discussed IDNS' grandfathering of current facilities to the 0.5 rem total effective dose equivalent. IDNS modified 340.310 in 1994 to remove the grandfathering clause and is now compatible with 10 CFR 20.1301. Exclusion of "

radiation machines (State jurisdiction) from the lim,t does not affect compatibility with NRC regulations.

17. 340.610 " Control of access to high radiation areas" (Division 1)

Discussing attemative methods for controlling access to high radiation areas, IDNS substitutes the term "to enable action to be taken to prevent" i rather than NRC's "that is capable of preventing." The IDNS rule clarifies that it is not the additional surveillance that stops someone from -

entering a high radiation area but the follow-up actions which are initiated upon detection of someone attempting to enter the area. This rule is compatible with 10 CFR 20.1601. ,

18. 340.910 " Caution signs" (Division 1) -

IDNS omitted two paragraphs describing coloration of the three-bladed radiation symbol.- 340.910 states, however, "shall use the colors '

magenta, or purple, or black on yellow background. This description of the required colors is adequate. The IDNS regulation also differs from 10 CFR 20.1901 in the Additional Information on Sions and Labels section. The NRC regulation states "...the licensee shall provide, on or near the required signs and labels, additional information, as appropriate..." The IDNS regulation uses the word may instead of the word shall. As ,

the additional information is not required to be provided, the use of "may" instead of "shall" is appropriate and compatible. l l

19. 340.950
  • Exceptions to labeling requirements" (Division 1)  ;

IDNS, by law, cannot include requirements referenced in non-specific documents such as 10 CFR or 49 CFR. If another document is ,

referenced, it must be specifica!!y identified with the applicable date. Referenced dates are modified in the IDNS regulations as significant changes are made to the Federal agency regulations. The regulations are essentially the same and are deemed compatib!e

! 20. 340.1010 " Waste disposal-General requirements" (Division 2) i This issue was addressed by IDNS in the October 12,1993, letter to NRC. IDNS prefers to evaluate each decay-in-storage request and grant  ;

authorization by license condition. This approach meets the objective of 10 CFR 20.2001.

21. 340.1030
  • Disposal by release into sanitary sewerage" (Division 2)

Since lilinois does not have registered or "other" radioactive material (it is all licensed), the omission of these terms allows this regulation to remain compatible with 10 CFR 20.2003.  ;

22. 340.1210 " Reports of stolen, lost or missing sources of radiation" (Division 2) 11

t Rule Review: [ Agreement State ] Part 2v equivalent compatibility requirements .

340.1210 omits the requirement to identify a radiation machine's " maximum energy of radiation emitted

  • if that machine is lost or stolen.
  • Radiation machines are beyond the scope of NRC regulations. This regulation meets the obgective of 10 CFR 20.2201. ,

t

23. 340.1220 " Notification of incidents" (Division 1) -

Consistent with the SSR, IDNS adds a requirement for incident reporting for a " total organ dose equivalent

  • in additior: to the inculents  ;

reportable under 10 CFR 20.2202. Its meaning is the same as the reportable quantity specified in 10 CFR 20.2106(a)(6). 340.1220 meets the objective of the NRC regulation. (See NRC Regulatory Guide 8.7, Rev.1,1992).

24. 340.1230
  • Reports of exposures, radiation levels and concentrations of radioactive material exceeding the limits" (Division 2)

IDNS, by law, cannot include requirements referenced in non-specific documents such as 40 CFR. If another document is referenced, it must i be specifically identified with the applicable date. Referenced dates are modified in the IDNS regulations as significant changes are made  ;

to the Federal agency regulations. The regulations are essentially the same and are deemed compatible.
