SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Assessment of Proposed Illinois Program to Regulate Certain Radioactive Materials Pursuant to Section 274 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, i
The Comission has received a proposal from the Governor of Illinois for the State to enter into an agreement with the NRC whereby the NRC would relinquish and the State would assume certain renulatory authority pursuant to Section 274 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended.
Section 274e of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, requires that l
the tems of the proposed agreement be published for public coment once I
- -,- , , .m. v,r-,
. i :: s- .
4 d
each week for four consecutive weeks. Accordingly, this notice will be published four times in the Federal Register.
I. Background >
A. .Section 274 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, prnvides a mechanism whereby the NRC nay transfer to tge States certain
, regulatory authority over agreement materials when a State desires i to assure this authority and the Governor certifies that the State has an adequate regulatory program, and when the Commission finds.
that the State's program is compatible with that of the NRC and is adequate to protect the public health and safety. Section 2749 directs the Conunission to cooperate with the States in the formulation of standards for protection against radiation hazards to assure that State and Commission prograns for radiation protection will be coordinated and compatible. Further, Section 274j provides that the Commission shall periodically review such agreements and actions taken by the States under the agreements to '
ensure compliance with the provisions of this section.
B. In a letter dated October 2,1986, Governor James R. Thompson of the State of Illinois requested that the Commission enter into an agreement with the State pursuant to Section 274 of the '
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended. The Governor
- ~
certified that the State of-Illinois has a program for control o'
' radiation hazards which is adequate to protect the public health and safety with respect to the materials within the State covered by the proposed agreement, and that the State of Illinois desires to assume regulatory responsibility for such Peterials. The text i of the proposed agreement is shown in Appendix A.
The specific authority requested is for (1) byproduct material as defined in Section 11e.(1) of the Act..(2) source material, (3) special nuclear material in quantities not sufficient to form a !
i
~
-critical mass and (4) permanent disposal of low-level waste containing one or more of the foregoing unterials but not i containing uranium and thorium mill tailings (byproduct material as
, defined in Section 11e.(2) of the Act. The State does not wish to l assume authority over uranium recovery activities. The State.
l however, reserves the right to apply at a future date to MRC for an amended agreenent to assume authority in this area. The nine articles of the proposed agreement cover the following areas:
i I. Lists the materials covered by the agreenent.
II. Lists the Commission's . continued authority and responsibility for certain activities.
III. Allows for future amendment of the agreement.
IV. Allows for certain regulatory changes by the Connission.
1/ A. Byproduct materials as defined in 11e(1)
B. Byproduct materials as defined in 11e(2)
C. Source materials; and D. Special nuclear materials in quantities not sufficient to form a critical mass

V. References the continued authority of the Comission for corimon defense and security for safeguards purposes.
VI. Pledges the best efforts of the Counission and the State to achieve coordinated and compatible programs.
VII. Recognizes reciprocity nf licenses issued by the respective agencies.
VIII. Sets forth criteria for temination or suspension of the agreement.
IX. Specifies the effective date of the agreement.
C. 111. Rev. Stat.1985, ch.127, par. 63b17, the ' enabling statute for the Illinois Department of Nuclear Safety authorizes the Department to issue licenses to, and perfom inspections of, users of radioactive materials under the proposed agreement and otherwise carry out a total radiation control program. Illinois regulations for radiation protection were adopted on September 25, 1986 under authority of the enabling statute and provide standards, licensing, inspection, enforcement and administrative procedures for agreement and non-agreement materials. Pursuant to Section 330.360 the regulations will apply to agreement materials on the effective date of the agreement. The regulations provide for the State to license and inspect users of naturally-occurring and accelerator-produced radioactive materials.
D. Illinois is one of two States with a cabinet-level agency devoted exclusively to radiation safety and control.
Illinois' role in radiation safety is traceable to 1955 when the Illinois General Assembly created the Atomic Power Investigating Comnission. The Illinois Department of Nuclear Safety Progran provides a comprehensive program encompassing radiation protection regulation for radioactive materials and machine produced radiation, lasers, low-level radioactive
~'
waste management, surveillance of transportation of radioactive materials and environmental radiation, coordination of State government functions concerning nuclear power and emergency preparedness.
E. The proposed Illinois Agreement will cover several' unique facets. It will include (1) regulation of a low-level waste disposal site which is.no longer accepting low-level radioactivewastefordisposal(Sheffield),(2)regulationof a new regional low-level waste disposal facility (3) regulation of one of only two licensed uranium conversion plants in the United States (Allied-Chemical) and (4) assumption of regulatory responsibility for off-site source material resulting from operation of the Kerr-McGee West Chicago Rare Earths Facility (including such material which is, or may be, stored on the Kerr-McGee site). Jurisdiction over the tailings materials at this site (by-product material as defined by Section 11e(2) of the Act) will remain with NRC.
The State's proposed programs for low-level radioactive waste
, % e f
disposal and the Allied Chemical plant are assessed under Criteria nos. 9. " Radioactive Waste Disposal" and 20
" Personnel." The disposition of the regulatory responsibility for the Kerr-McGee radioactive materials resulting fron the operation of the Rare Earths Facility is covered in the assessment under Criterion PS, " Existing NRC Licenses and Pending Applications."
Under the proposed agreement .iurisdiction for health and safety for Allied Chemical's plant would be transferred to l Illinois. The Allied Chemical plant is one of 2 plants in the l United States licensed to convert uranium "yellowcake" to UF6 '
NRC staff is reviewing the comon defense and security significance of the Allied Chemical plant in consultation with appropriate Federal agencies. Section 274 agreements are approved by the Comission when, among other things, the prooosed 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 health and safety. The Atomic Energy Act, as amended, however, states that such agreements shall not affect the Comission's authority to protect the conson de*ense and security. The decision on whether to exclude the Allied Chemical plant from the Agreement will be made by the Comission concurrent with its decision on the Illinois request for an Agreement.

- 13. Prior Evaluation of Hazards and Uses. Exceotions. In the l 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 ;
submission of infomation on, and evaluation of, the potential hazards and the capability of the user or possessor prior to i his receipt of the materials. This criterion is sub.iect to certain exceptions and to continuing reappraisal as knowledge i and experience in the atomic energy field increase. 1 Frequently there are, and increas' ngly in the future there nay be, categories of materials and uses as to which there is sufficient knowledge to wrmit possession and use without prior evaluation of the Sarards and the capability of the possessor and user. These categories fall into two groups -- ,
those materials and uses which may be completely exempt fron 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 1 development or other activities involving multiple uses of i radioactive materials, where an institution has people with ;
extensive training and experience, the State regulatory i authority may wish to provide a means for authorizing broad !
use of materials without evaluating each specific use.
Prior to the issuance of a soecific license for the use of radioactive materials, the Illinois Department of Nuclear i Safety will require the submission of information on, and will make an evaluation of, the potential hazards of such uses, and the capability of the applicant.

- 13-The Illinois regulations require that the use of radioactive materials (including sealed sources) on or in humans shall be by a physician having substantial experience in the handling and administration of radioactive material and, where applicable, the clinical management of radioactive patients.
Reference:
32 ILL ADM. CODE 330.260a),b),andc).
INSPECTION
- 16. Purpose. Frequency. The possession and use of radioactive i materials shall be subject to inspection by the regulatory authority and shall be subject to the perfomance of tests, as required by the regulatory authority. Inspection and testino i
is conducted to determine and to assist in obtaining compliance with regulatory requirements. Frequency of i
inspection shall be related directly to the amount and kind of material and type of operation licensed, and it shall be
- adequate to insure conpliance.
Illinois materials licensees will be sub.iect to inspection by l
, the Department of Nuclear Safety. Upon instruction from the ~
Department, licensees shall perform or permit the Department to perforn such reasonable tests and surveys as the Departnent deems appropriate or necessary. The frequency of inspections
! is dependent upon the type and scope of the licensed activities and will be at least as frequent as inspections of similar licensees by NRC. Generally, inspections will be i unannounced.

ENFORCEMENT
- 19. Enforcement. Possession and use of radioactive noterials should be amenable to enforcenent through legal sanctions, and the regulatory authority shall be equipped or assisted by law with the necessary powers for pronpt enforcement. This may include, as appropriate, administrative remedies looking i toward issuance of orders requiring affimative action or suspension or revocation of the right to possess and use materials, and the impounding of materials; the obtaining of injunctive relief; and the imposing of civil or criminal penalties.
The Illinois Department of Nuclear Safety is equipped with the necessary powers for prompt enforcement of the regulations.
Where conditions exist that create a clear presence of a
.l hazard to the public health that requires insnediate action to protect human health and safety, the Departaient may issue orders to reduce, discontinue or eliminate such conditions.
The Department actions may also include impounding of radioactive material, imposition of a civil penalty, l
revocation of a license, and requesting the State Attorney i
General to seek injunctions and convictions for crininal violations.

PERSONNEL
- 20. Qualifications of Regulatory and Inspection Personnel. The
- regulatory agency shall be staffed with sufficient trained i
personnel. Prior evaluation of applications for licenses or authorizations and inspection of licensees must be conducted 4
by persons possessing the training and experience relevant to the type and level of radioactivity in the propnsed use to be evaluated and inspected. .
To perforn the functions involved in evaluation and inspection, it is desirable that there be personnel educated ,
and trained in the physical and/or life sciences, including l biology, chemistry, physics and engineering, and that the ,
, personnel have had training and experience in radiation l
- protection. The person who will be responsible for the actual I performance of evaluation and inspection of all of the various H
-,-,,,,--.,--------.--.,w~ .,--,w ,-ne__,-,,,_n, _- m_n,_--,
'e '
i .
uses of byproduct, source and special nuclear material which might come to the regulatory body should have substantial training and extensive experience in the field of radiation ,
protection. '
It is recognized that there will also be persons in the program perfoming a more limited function in evaluation and
! inspection. These persons will perfom the day-to-day work of the regulatory program and deal with both routine situations as well as some which will be out of the ordinary. These people should have a bachelor's degree or equivalent in the
- physical or life sciences, training in health physics, and approximately two years of actual work experience in the field
- of radiation protection.
The foregoing are considered desirable qualifications for the staff who will be responsible for the actual performance of 1 evaluation and inspection. In addition, there will probably be trainees associated with the regulatory program who will have an academic background in the physical or life sciences
- as well as varying amounts of specific training in radiation protection but little or no actual work experience in this field. The background and specific training of these persons l
will indicate to some extent their potential role in the 3
regulatory program. These trainees, of course, could be used initially to evaluate and inspect those applications of j radioactive materials which are considered routine or more i
standardized fron the radiation safety standpoint, for
! example, inspection of industrial gauges, small research i
- programs, and diagnostic medical programs. As they gain l
experience and competence in the field, the trainees could be 4
> used progressively to deal with the more conplex or difficult ,
types of radioactive material applications. It is desirable that such trainees have a bachelor's degree or equivalent in the physical or life sciences and specific training in radiation protection. In detemining the requirement for acadenic training of indis* duals in all of the foregning i categories, proper consideration should be given to equivalent competency which has been gained by appropriate technical and radiation protection experience.
' It is recognized that radioactive materials and their uses are i so varied that the evaluation and inspection functions will require skills and experience in the different disciplines which will not always reside in one person. The regulatory authority should have the composite of such skills either in
- its employ or at its connand, not only for routine functions, ;
- but also for emergency cases.

. ."I0~
There are approximately 890 NRC specific licenses in the State of Illinois. Under the proposed agreement, the State would assume responsibility for about 800 of these licenses. The Department's Division of Nuclear Materials is currently staffed with 13 professional persons and has one vacancy. Including the Manager of the Office of Radiation Safety (in which the Division of Nuclear Materials is located), four individuals will be assigned management and supervisory duties in the materials program. Exclusive of the low-level radioactive waste regulatory program and the regulatory oversight for a uranium conversion plant (discussed below) we estimate the State will need to apply between 7.9 to 12 staff-years of professional effort to the radioactive materials program. Illinois will apply about 14.4 staff-years to this progran. The personnel together with sumaries of their assigned responsibilities, training and experience are as follows (except as noted percentage of time devoted to the radioactive materials program will be 90% or more):

- 25. Existing NRC Licenses and Pending Applications. j l
l
^
s 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 ir.
the NRC license.
With. respect to the radioactive materials covered by the NRC license issued to Kerr-McGee Chemical Corporation for the !!est Chicago Rare Earth's Facility (Docket No. 40-2061-SC) the NPC staff has detemined that the radioactive materials at the facility are most appropriately treated as thorium mill tailings.1.e., byproduct naterials as defined in'Section 11e.(2) of the Atonic Energy Act of 1954, as anended, whereas -
the thorium - bearing materials recovered from off-site residential properties and sewer treatnent plant in West Chicago and stored at the Kerr-McGee facility are source
' naterial. The fomer material [11e(2) by product nateriall will not be subject to the Agreement and NRC will retain regulatory jurisdiction. The latter material will be regulated by IDNS when the Agreement becomes effective.'
Radiologically contaninated materials in Kress Creek and in Reed-Keppler 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 (ASLBP No. 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 Atonic 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 becones 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 the Agreenent becomes effective.
With respect to the Sheffield low-level radioactive waste disposal site, jurisdiction will be relinquished by the NRC to Illinois when the Agreement becomes effective. At that tine, flRC staff will reouest temination of the ASLB proceeding
[ Docket 27-39-SC(ASLBNo. 78-374-01-0T)].

Proposed Agreement between the State of Illinois and the Nuclear Regulatory Comission, Article VI.
- 27. Coverace, Amendnents, Reciprocity.
The proposed Illinois agreement provides for the assunption of regulatory authority over the following categories of materials within the State:
(a) Byproduct naterial, as defined by Section lle(1) of the Atomic Energy Act, as amended.
(b) Source materials.
(c) Special nuclear materials in quantities not sufficient to form a critical mass.
(d) The land disposal of source, byproduct and special nuclear material received fron other persons.

III. STAFF CONCLUSION
t
-s2- -
s Section 274d of the Atonic Energy Act of 1954, as.anended, stater; "The Commission shall enter into an agreenent under. subsection b D' this section with any State if:
(1) The Governor of that State certifies that the State has a program for the control of radistion hazards adequate to protect the public health and safety with respect to the materials within the State coveret,by the proposed agreement, and that the State desires to assume regulatory responsibility for such materials; and (2) The Conmission f.'inds 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 regulationyaf such materials, and that the State program is adequate t'o protect the public health and safety with respect 5 to the materials covered by the proposed amendment." J 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 cocpatible with those of the Commission and acequate to protect the public health and safety with respect to the materials covered by the proposed agreerent. Since the State is not seeking -
authority over uranium milling activities, subsection o. is not applicable to the proposed Illinois agreenent.
