RADIOLOGICAL CRITERIA FOR LICENSE TERMINATION BACKGROUND:
On July 8,1998, the Commission approved the publication of the draft guidance for the final rule on Radiological Criteria for License Termination (License Termination Rule, LTR)(62 FB i
39058) for a two year interim use period. The Commission also directed the staff to maintain a dialogue with the public through the use of a website and public workshops.\\ In addition, the
' Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff is developing a standard review plan (SRP) for I
use in reviewing licensee submittals related to the LTR. This notico announces the schedule
- for a series of workshops on the draft guidance, the website address and structure, and staff l;
plans to hold additional technical meetings and telephone conferences, as needed, to discuss
?
emerging issues and to prepare for the workshops. The date, time, location, and agendas for the workshops and meetings will be announced on the NRC web site.
l l-WORKSHOPS ON GUIDANCE FOR RADIOLOGICAL CRITERIA FOR LICENSE L
TERMINATION:
The NRC has scheduled six workshops during the period 12/98 to 10/99. All of the workshops I

I The final workshop agendas will depend on the issues that emerge as industry, NRC, and other
. stakeholders review, and gain experience using, the draft guidance. However, the general topics to be covered are dose modeling, demonstrating as low as is reasonably achievable
. (ALARA), final status surveys, and restricted use/ alternate criteria. Issues of concem that emerge from iridustry and stakeholder review and use of the guidance will be posted and
- discussed on the web site, and during any additional meetings held between the workshops.
The workshops will be focused on specific technical or policy issues. The agendas will be posted 6-8 weeks in advance of the scheduled date. The final agenda for the first workshop, to 4.g
. be held on December 1-2,1998, is not yet finalized, but is expected to include the following topics:
~
- 1. Overview of the process to solicit stakeholder input on the draft guidance,
- 2. NRC test cases,.
- 3. resuspension factor perameter in the building occupancy model,.

The address for the web site containing the technical conference on the draft guidance for the -
License Termination' Rule is HTTP://TECHCONF.LLNL. GOV /iNDEX HTML. The site contains seven major functional areas. Four separate areas have been created for discussion on the major topics in Draft Regulatory Guide DG-4006, " Demonstrating Compliance With The Radiological Criteria For Decommissioning." The four areas are: 1) dose modeling,2) final i
status survey,3) ALARA,' and 4) restricted use/ alternate criteria. Comments, questions, and l
~ case-specific experiences can be posted in these areas by any interested party. The issues raised in these discussion areas will be considered as topics for workshops, or for one of the l
periodic meetings or telephone conferences. The web site will also contain an area where NRC will post draft agendas for meetings and workshops for review and comment. The final agenda, j
including workshop and ' meeting dates, times, and locations will also be posted. Finally, the site will contain a Question and Answer (Q&A) area where NRC will post the resolution to issues
- raised during workshops and meetings. During a public meeting held on August 14,1998, the O&A format was suggested by the Nuclear Energy institute as a useful format for publishing NRC's resolution of issues.
NRC strongly encourages stakeholder participation in this process to finalize RG-4006 and t
develop an SRP for the license termination rule. The data and information generated during the review and implementation of the draft guidance, as well as the results of industry research L
and test cases, will play a significant role in the development of effective final guidance documents.
