6 NRC staff is reviewing the common defense and security' significance of the Allied Chemical plant in consultation with appropriate Federal agencies. Section 274 agreements are approved by the Commission when, among other things, the proposed State program is adequate to protect the public health and safety. The NRC staff assessment finds the proposed Illinois program will provide adequately for public i
health and safety. The Atomic Energy Act, as amended, however, states that such agreements shall not affect the Connission's authority to protect the common de'ense and security. The decision on whether to exclude the Allied Chemical plant from the Agreenent will be made by the Commission concurrent with its decision on the Illinois request for an Agreement.

J PRIOR EVALUATION OF USES OF RADI0 ACTIVE MATERIALS
- 13. Prior Evaluation of Hazards and Uses. Exceptions.
In the present state of knowledge, it is necessary in regulating the possession and use of byproduct, source and special nuclear materials that the State regulatory authority require the 1
submission of infomation on, and evaluation of, the potential hazards and the capability of the user or possessor prior to his receipt of the materials. This criterion is subject to 4
certain exceptions and to continuing reappraisal as knowledge i.
and experience in the atomic energy field increase.
Frequently there are, and increasingly in the future there nay be, categories of materials and uses as to which there is sufficient knowledge to pemit possession and use without prior evaluation of the hazards and the capability of the These categories fall it.to two groups --
possessor and user.
those materials and uses which may be completely exempt from regulatory controls, and those materials and uses in which sanctions for misuse are naintained without pre-evaluation of the individual possession or use.
In authorizing research and development or other activities involving multiple uses of radioactive materials, where an institution has people with extensive training and experience, the State regulatory authority may wish to provide a means for authorizing broad use of materials without evaluating each specific use.
)
Prior to the issuance of a specific license for the use of radioactive materials, the Illinois Department of Nuclear i
i Safety will require the submission of infomation on, and will make an evaluation of, the potential hazards of such uses, and i
the capability of the applicant.

4 The Department has made provision to continue NRC licenses in effect temporarily after the transfer of jurisdiction. Such licenses will expire on the date of expiration specified in the NRC license.
With respect to the radioactive matarials covered by the NRC license issued to Kerr-McGee Chemical Corporation for the liest Chicago Rare Earth's Facility (Docket No. 40-2061-SC)theNRC staff has detemined that the radioactive materials at the facility are most appropriately treated as thorium mill tailings, i.e., byproduct materials as defined in Section 11e.(2) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, whereas the thoriun - bearing materials recovered from off-site residential properties and sewer treatnent plant in West Chicago and stored at the Kerr-McGee facility are source material. The fomer material [11e(2) by product material]
4 will not be subject to the Agreement and NRC will retain regulatory jurisdiction. The latter material will be regulated by IDMS when the Agreement becomes effective.
Radiologically centaminated materials in Kress Creek and in Reed-Kepoler Park, West Chicago have also been detemined by NRC staff to be source material. The fomer is the subject of an Atomic Safety and Licensing Board (ASLB) Proceeding
([ Docket 40-2061-SC(ASLBPNo. 84-502-01-SC)].In the Kress Creek proceeding, in which Kerr-McGee and the People of the State of Illinois are parties, the ASLB found that the presence of this material in Kress Creek and the West Branch of the DuPage River probably resulted from the conduct of an NRC (and AEC) licensed activity at the West Chicago Rare Earths Facility. The ASLB, however, declined to require clean-up of the Creek and River based upon its analysis of the hazard posed by the radiologically contaninated material. The NRC staff has appealed that decision to the Atomic Safety and Licensing Appeal Board, but a decision on appeal has not yet been issued. Jurisdiction over source material in Kress Creek and the West Branch of the DuPage River will be relinquished to Illinois when the Agreement becomes effective. At that time, the NRC staff will request temination of the ASLB proceeding. Jurisdiction over the source material in Reed-Keppler Park will also be relinquished to Illinois when i
the Agreement becomes effective.
With respect to the Sheffield low-level radioactive weste disposal site, jurisdiction will be relinquished by the NRC to Illinois when the Agreement becomes effective. At that tine, IIRC staff will request temination of the ASLB proceeding
[ Docket 27-39-SC(ASLBNo.7R-374-01-0T)].

The proposed agreement declares that the State will use its best efforts to cooperate with the NRC and the other Agreement States in the formulation of standards and regulatory programs for the protection against hazards of radiation and to assure that the State's progran will continue to be conpatible with the Commission's program for the regulation of like naterials.

. Section 274d of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, states:
"The Commission shall enter into an agreement under subsection b of this section with any State if:
(1) The Governor of that State certifies that the State has a progran for the control of radiation hazards adequate to protect the public health and safety with respect to the Peterials within the State covered by the proposed agreement, and that the State desires to assume regulatory responsibility for such materials; and (2) The Commission finds that the State program is in accordance with the requirenents of subsection o. and in all other respects compatible with the Commission's progran for the regulation of such materials, and that the State program is adequate to protect the public health and safety with respect to the materials covered by the proposed amendment."
The staff has concluded that the State of Illinois meets the requirements of Section 274 of the Act. The State's statutes, regulations, personnel, licensing, inspection and administrative procedures are compatible with those of the Commission and adequate to protect the public health and safety with respect to the materials covered by the proposed agreement. Since the State is not seeking authority over uranium milling activities, subsection o. is not applicable to the proposed Illinois agreement.
