ilRC-NUMARC liEETING ON CONTENTS OF BRC PETITION DATE: . Thursday, February 23, 1989 TIME: 10:00 to 11:30 a.m.

LOCATION: NRC White Flint Bldg.

ATTENDEFS:. See Attachment PURPOSE:

On February 23, 1C89, NRC staff met with representatives of the Nuclear Management and Resources Council (NUMARC) to address questions concerning the content of a petition for designating some nuclear power plant wastes as Below Regulatory Concern (BRC).

DISCUSSION:

NUMARC is preparing the petition with support from EPRI and EEI on behalf of 54 nuclear utilities. NUMARC indicated that they expect to submit the petition to NRC in the Spring / Summer 1989 timeframe. The current thinking by NUMARC is that the submittal will consist of the petition with two attachments. One attachment will be a technfcal support document prepared by EPRI and the second attachment will be a summary of some 14 contractor reports on nuclear plant

. wastes.

NUMARC had specific questions concerning information needs relative to criteria  !

in NRC's Policy Statement on BRC waste (Federal Register 30839, August 29,

'1986). These questions included: (1) should the regulatory anal environmental analysis be presented separately or combined; (2)theysis and should petition address the requirements in both 10 CFR 2.802 and the Commission Policy Statement; (3) can the staff cite examples of the type of information needed to address " Economic Impact on Small Entities"; (4) should the old or new version of 10 CFR Part 20 be used when referring to Part 20; (5) does NRC have specific sampling requirements or procedures for characterizing BRC waste.

The NRC staff provided the following guidance with respect to these questions.

First, the petition should contain an environmental and regulatory analysis and these analyses should be presented as two separate sections. Second, the petitioner should address both the requirements in 10 CFR 2.802 and the Commission Policy Statement. Third, the staff suggested that NUMARC refer to NUREG/BR 0053 or recently published rulemakings for excmples of the type of information that should be included under " Economic Impact on Small Entities".

Fourth, in reference to Part 20, the staff suggested that the petitioner use the definition of terms contained in the proposed new version of Part 20. This would facilitate processing of the petition in the event the new proposed version of Part 20 is adopted prior to implementation of the petitioner's

2-proposal. -This would also expedite a backfit if the new Part 20 becomes effective after implementation of the petitior,er's proposal. Fina11), the staff indicated that it had no specific ~ requirements regarding sampling requirements or procedures for characterizing BRC waste. Rather, the staff-indicated that the petitioner is in the best position to select the appropriate sampling procedure for the specific waste under consideration. The staff-indicated that if new sampling procedures are adopted, the nuclear utility may-have to amend its Part 50 license to reflect the change.-

At the request of NUMARC, the NRC staff committed.to provide NUMARC with a copy of the "NRC Regulations Handbook" (NUREG BR-0053). NUMARC indicated that they may request to meet with the NRC staff again as they proceed in finalizing their petition.
