Dear Mr. Scarano:
l This letter is to confirm the meeting between Califomia Radiologic Health Branch (RHB) staff and U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff on December 9,199..' The purpose L
of the meeting is to discuss General Atomics decommissioning activities, an our agencies' respective roles in the release of General Atomics' facilities for unrestricted use.
Over the next two to three years General Atomics plans to decommission approximately 40 buildings and/or land areas. These activities include routine decontamination as well as large-scale projects, such as the dismantling of buildings, removal of underground storage tanks, and l
soil remediation. Obviously, the confirmation of General Atomics' final survey results from each of these undertakings will require a substantial amount of effort on the part of each of our l
agencies. We would like to coordinate some of these efforts with the NRC.
In particular, we would like the opportunity to discuss:
l 1.
The scope of NRC's confirmatory surveys; 2.
The criteria the NRC will use to release General Atomics' facilities from NRC licensing for unrestricted use, and for continued regulation under General L
' Atomics California Radioactive Materials License; l
3.
The role of other agencies (such as the Department of Energy), and contractors
{l (such as Oak Ridge Institute of Science and Education) in the decommissioning and confirmatory survey processes; and, 4.
The jurisdiction of our respective agencies over contamination resulting from fo
' General Atomics
- activitics involving the roccipt and repair of commercial power reactor components and/or from byproduct material produced as a result of General Atomics operation of their two non-power reactors.
The mWng is scheduled to begin at 9:00 a.m. on December 9,1998 at the General Atomics' facility in San Diego, Califomia. The facility is located at 3550 General Atomics
. Court, San Diego, California. From the 5 freeway, take the Genesee Avenue offramp and head west to General Atomics' Court. The General Atumics' facility will be visible on the north side
. of Genessee road. It will be necessary to provide General Atomics with a list of staff who will l
be attending, so they can arrange for their admittance with the General Atomics' security staff.
