each week for four consecutive weeks. 3ccordingly, this notice will be 4 y published four times in the Federal Register.
v I.
Background
g A.
Section 274 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, provides a mechanism whereby the NRC may transfer to tge States certain regulatory authority over agreement materials when a State desires to assume this authority and the Governor certifies that the State has an adequate regulatory program, and when the Commission finds th3t the State's program is compatible with that of the NRC und is adequate to protect the public health and safety. Section.274g directs the Comission to cooperate with th'e States in the -
formulation of standards for protection against radiation hazards to assure that State and Comission programs for radiation t,
protection will be coordinated and compatible. Further, Section 274j provides that tne:Comission shaiT periodically review such
- agreements and acticos taken by theStates,under the agreements to ensure compliance with the provisions # this section.
B.
In a letter dated October 1,1986, Governor James R. Thompson of the State of Illinois requested that the Comission enter into an agreement with the State pursuant to Section 274 cf the Atomic Energy Act:of 1954, as amended, and proposed that the agreement become effective on January 1, 1987. The Governor certified that the State of Illinois has a program for control of 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 ttat the State of Illinois distres to assume regulatory responsibility for suchtsterials. The' text of the proposed agreement is sheen in Appendix A.
The specific authority (requ0sted is for (1) byproduct > naterial as defined in Section lle 1) of the Act,,(2) source mterial, (3),
special nuclear material in quantitics not sufficient to form a critical mass and permanent disposal of low-level waste containing one or more of the foregoing materials. The Stste does not wish to assume authority over uranium recovery activities. The State, hcwever, reserves the right to apply at a future >date to NRC for an amended agreement to assume authority in this area. The nine articles of the proposed agreement cover the following areas:
1.
Lists the materials covered by the agreement.
II.
Lists the Comiulon's continued authority and responsibility.for certain activitics.
III.
Allows for future amendment of the.. agreement.
IV.
Allows for certain regulatory changes by the l

. Ill. Rev. Stat.1983, ch.127, par. 63b17,' the enabling statuta for the Illirois Department of Nuclear Safety authorizes the Department to issue licenses to, and perfonn inspections.of, users of radioactive materials under the proposed agreement and otherwise carry out a total radiation control program.
Illinois regulations for protection against l
radiation 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 i
mfor the State to license and inspect users of naturally-T,-
occurring and accelerator-produced radioactive materials.
E D.
Illinois is one of the only two States with a cabinet-level ogency devo.ted exclusively to radiation safety and control.

irovestigating Comission. The Illinois Department of Nuclear Safety Program provides a comprehensive program encompassing-i rcdiation protection regulation for radioactive materials and
, machine produced radiation, lasers, low-level radioactive
'.v waste management, surveillance of transportation of
- 1. o padioactive materials, ard environmental radiation, 14 coordination of State gove nment 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 radioactive wtste for disposal (Sheffield), (2) regulation of a new regional low-level waste disposal facility, (3) regulation of one of only two licensed uranium conversion plantsintreUnitedStates(Allied-Chemicai)and(4) assumption of regulatory responsibility for source material on i
and off-sitesfrom the Kerr-McGee West Chicago 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 1.ow-level radioactive waste disposal and the Allied Chemical plant 'are assessed under Criteria nos. 9 " Radioactive Waste I
l,
[.:L s,
i
/,
, y Diiposal" and 20 " Personnel." The disposition of th?
regulatory responsibility for the Kerr-McGee radioactive I
materials is covered in the assess:nent under Criterion 25,
" Existing NRC Licenses and Pending Applications."
II. NRC STAFF ASSESSMENT OF PROPOSED ILLIN0IS PROGRAM FOR CONTROL OF AGREEMENT MATERIALS
Reference:
Criteria for Guidance of States and NRC'in Discontinuance of NRC Regulatory Authority and Assumption Thereof by States Through Agreement.2 OBJECTIVES 1.
Protection. A State regulatory program shall be designed to protect the health and safety of the people again n radiation hazards.
Based upon the analysis of the State's proposed regulatory program the staff believes the Illinois proposed regulatory program for agreement materials is adequately designed to protect the health and safety of the public against radiation hazards.
Reference:
Illinois Program Statement, Application for Agreement State Status.
RADIATION PROTECTION STANDARDS 2.
Standards. The State regulatory program shall adopt a set of i
standards for protection against radiation which shall apply to byproduct, source and special nuclear materials in quantities not sufficient to fom a critical mass.
Statutory authority to fomulate and promulgate rules for controlling exposure to sources of radiation is contained in the enabling statute.
In accordance with that authority, the State adopted radiation control regulations on September E5, 1986 which include radiation protection standards which would apply to byproduct, source and special nuclear materials in quantities not sufficient to form a critical mass upon the effective date of an agreement between the State and the Comission pursuant to Section 274b of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended.

Uniformity in Radiation Standards.
It is important to strive for uniformity in technical definitions and terminology, particularly as related to such things as units of measurement and radiation dose. There shall be unifomity on maximum pemissible doses and levels of radiation and concentrations of radioactivity, as fixed by 10 CFR Part 20 of the NRC regulations based on officially approved radiation protection guides.
Technical definitions and teminology contained in the Illinois Radiation Control Regulations including those related to units of measurement and radiation doses are uniform with those contained in 10 CFR Part 20.
Reference:
32 ILL..ADM. CODE 310.20.
4.
Total Occupational Radiation Exposure. The regulatory authority shall consider the total occupational radiation exposure of individuals, including that from sources which are not regulated by it.
The Illinois regulations cover all sources of radiation within the State's jurisdiction and provide for consideration of the total radiation exposure of individuals from all sources of radiation in the possession of a licensee or registrant.
Reference:
32 ILL. ADM. CODE 340.101 to 340.106.
l 5.
Surveys, Monitoring. Appropriate surveys and personnel monitoring under the close supervision of technically competent people are essential in achieving radiological protection and shall be made in detemining compliance with safety regulations..
The Illinois requirements for surveys to evaluate potential exposures from sources of radiation at4 the personnel monitoring requirements are unifom with those contained in 10 CFR Part 20. Additionally, for personnel dosimeters (except extremitydosimetersandpocketionizationchambers)that require processing the accreditation criteria in the January 1,1985 revision of 15 CFR 7b and in American National Standards Institute N13.11-1983, 1983 edition, must be met.

(a) Waste disposal by material users. The standards for the disposal of radioactive materials into the air, water and sewer, and burial in the j
soil shall be in accordance with 10 CFR Part 20. Holders of radioactive material desiring to release or dispose of quantities or concentrations of radioactive materials in excess of prescribed limits shall be required to obtain special pemission from the appropriate regulatory authority.
Requirements for transfer of waste for the purpose of ultimate disposal at a land disposal facility (waste transfer and manifest system) shall be in accordance with 10 CFR 20.
The waste disposal standards shall include a waste classification scheme and provisions for waste fom, applicable to waste generators, that is equivalent to that contained in 10 CFR Part 61.
(b) Land Disposal of waste received from other persons. The State shall promulgate regulations containing licensing j
requirements for land disposal of radioactive waste received from other persons which are compatible with the applicable technical definitions, perfomance objectives, technical requirements and applicable supporting sections set forth in 10 CFR Part 61. Adequate financial arrangements (under tems established by regulation) shall be required of each waste
,, disposal site licensee to ensure sufficient funds for decontamination closure and stabilization of a disposal site.
In addition, Agreement State financial arrangements for long-term monitoring and maintenance of a specific site must be reviewed and approved by the Comission prior to relieving.
the site operator of licensed responsibility (Section 151(a)(2), Pub.L.97-425).
The Illinois regulations contain provisions relating to the disposal of radioactive materials into the air, water and sewer and burial in soil which are essentially unifom with those of 10 CFR Part 20.

PRIOR EVALUATION OF USES OF RADIOACTIVE 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 submission of information on, and evaluation of, the potential
. ~
~,.,-m
.-----...--...,,_m-..e
.. hazards and the capability of the user or possessor prior to his receipt of the materials. This criterion is subject to certain exceptions and to continuing reappraisal as knowledge' and experiance in the atomic energy f.ield increase.
Frequently there are, and increasingly in the future there may be, categories of materials and uses as to which there is sufficient knowledge to permit possession and use without prior evaluation of the hazards and the capability of the possessor and user. These categories fall into two groups --
those materials and uses which may be completely exempt from regulatory controls, and those materials and uses in which sanctions for misuse are maintained 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 Health 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.

14.
Evaluation Criteria.
In evaluating a proposal to use radioactive materials, the regulatory authority shall determine the adequacy of the applicant's facilities and safety equipment, his training and experience in the use of the materials for the purpose requested, and his proposed administrative controls. States should develop guidance documents for use by license applicants. This guidance should
)
2 be consistent with NRC licensing and regulatory guides for j
E various categories of licensed activities.
In evaluating a proposal to use agreement materials, the Illinois Department of Nuclear Safety will detemine that:
(1) The applicant is qualified by reason of training and experience to use the material in question for the purpose requested in accordance with the regulations in such a manner as to minimize danger to public health and i
safety or property; (2) The applicant's proposed equipment, facilities, and procedures are adequate to minimize danger to public health and safety or property;-and i
(3) The issuance of the license will not be inimical to the health and safety of the public.
Other special requirements for the issuance of specific licenses are contained in the regulations.

INSPECTION
- 16. Purpose, Frequency. The possession and use of radioactive materials shall be subject to inspection by the regulatory authority and shall be subject to the performance of tests, as required by the regulatory authority.
Inspection and testing is conducted to detennine and to assist in obtaining compliance with regulatory requirements. Frequency of inspection shall be related directly to the amount and kind of material and type of operation licensed, and it shall be adequate to insure compliance.
Illinois materials licensees will be subject to inspection by the Department of Nuclear Safety. Upon instruction from the Department, licensees shall perform or permit the Department to perform such reasonable tests and surveys as the Department T

ENFORCEMENT
- 19. Enforcement.
Possession and use of radioactive materials should be amenable to enforcement through legal sanctions, and the regulatory authority shall be equipped or assisted by law with the necessary powers for prompt enforcement. This may l
include, as appropriate, administrative remedies looking toward issuance of orders requiring affinnative action or i
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 hazard to the public health that requires imediate action to i
l protect human health and safety, the Department may issue
- c
, orders to reduce, discontinue or eliminate such conditions.
The Department actions may also include impounding of radioactive material, imposition of a civil penalty, revocation of a license, and requesting the State Attorney General to seek injunctions and convictions for criminal 4
violations.-

PERSONNEL
- 20. Qualifications of Regulatory and Inspection Personnel. The regulatory agency shall be staffed with sufficient trained personnel.
Prior evaluation of applications for licenses or authorizations and inspection of licensees must be conducted by persons possessing the training and experience relevant to the type and level of radioactivity in the proposed use to be evaluated and inspected.
To perfonn 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 biology, chemistry, physics and engineering, and that the personnel have had training and experience in radiation protection. The person who will be responsible for the actual performance of evaluation and inspection of all of the various 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 performing a more limited functior, in evaluation and inspection. These persons will perfonn 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 radiatien protection.
The foregoing are considered desirat'le qualifications for the t
l staff who will be responsible for the actual perfonnance of i -
evaluation and inspection.
In addition, there will probably i
be trainees associated with the regulatory program who will have an academic background in the physical or life sciences l
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
. will indicate to some extent their potential role in the
- regulatory program. These trainees, of course, could be used initially to evaluate and inspect those applications of radioactive materials which are considered routine or more standardized from the radiation safety standpoint, for example, inspection of industrial gauges, small research programs, and diagnostic medical programs. As they gain experience and competence in the field, the trainees could be used progressively to deal with the more complex or difficult
- types of radioactive material applications.
It is desirab'.e 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 academic training of individuals in all of the foregoing categories, proper consideration should.be given to equivalent competency which has been gained by appropriate technical and J
radiation protection experience.
It is recognized that radioactive materials and their uses are so varied that the evaluation and inspection functions will require skills and experience in the difference 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.
a.
Radioactive Materials Program 1.
Personnel There are approximately 890 NRC specific licenses in the i
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 14 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 program. The personnel together with summaries 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):
Terry R. Lash:
Director, Illinois Department of Nuclear Safety, Governor's Designated Liaison to NRC. (10% of time devoted to materials program).

interfere with the duties imposed on the holder of the materials by
~
the NRC, for example, the duty to report to the NRC, on NRC prescribed forms (1) ;ransfers of special nuclear material, source material and tritium and (2) periodic inventory data.
The State's regulations do not prohibit or interfere with the-duties imposed by the NRC on holders of special nuclear material owned by the U.S. Department of Energy or licensed by NRC, such as the responsibility of licensees to supply to the NRC reports of transfer and inventory.

- 25. Existing NRC Licenses and Pending Applications.
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 materials covered by the NRC license issued to Kerr-McGee Chemical Corporation for the West Chicago Rare Earth's Facility (Docket No. 40-2061-SC) the NRC staff has determined that the radioactive materials at the facility are thorium mill tailings, i.e., byproduct materials
,. I as defined in Section 11e.(2) of the Atomic Energy Act of.
1954, as amended, except that thorium - bearing materials recovered from off-site residential properties and sewer l
treatment plant in West Chicago and stored at the Kerr-McGee l
facility are source material. The fomer material [11e(2) by product material] will not be subject to the Agreement and NRC will retain regulatory jurisdiction. The latter material which has been determined by NRC staff to be source material will be regulated by IDNS when the Agreement becomes effective.
Radioactive materials in Kress Creek and in Reed-Keppler Park, West Chicago have also been detemined by NRC staff to be source material. The former 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 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 contamir.ated material. The NRC staff has appealed that decision to the Atomic Safety and Licensing Appeals Board, but a decision on appeal has not yet been issued. Jurisdiction over the decon*. amination' of 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 the Agreement 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 time, NRC staff will request termination of the ASLB proceeding
[ Docket 27-39-SC(ASLBNo. 78-374-01-0T)].

III. STAFF CONCLUSION Section 274d of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, states:
"The Comission 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 program for the control of radiation hazards 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 desires to assume regulatory responsibility

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.
