C. Estimated Cost for Decontamination This section should present a breakdown of the estimated costs for decontaminating the facilities and grounds, i.e., labor, material, ;
transportation, burial, etc.

D D.. 1 Financial Assurance:
.Thi.s~should be a document separate from the: decommissioning plan-that is a commitment from a corporate official-(Pres.,JV.-Pres.,
. Controller) that funds will be'made_available for~the' purpose of?
decontaminating the facility so that'it can be released for- j!
unrestricted use. ,
l 16'. Briefly describe 3rocedures for personnel contamination surveys and - !
decontamination w1en work' involves dispersible material.
17.1 In:Section 9.6.3, the[ application states that G-M survey meters are l calibrated annually. However, Regulatory Guide 8.24 states that D' instrument calibrations should be made at least semi-annually.,
i ~I18.' For.the instruments described in Items 1 thru'3 of Section 9.6.3, stat'e-
. calibration' frequencies, minimum detection limits, and ranges.
- 19. Does IRT provide for the ' calibration of the self-reading pocket dosimeters Land air sampler gas
- flow meters stated in Sections 7.2.1 and 9.6.4, respectively? ~ If-yes, provide calibration frequencies.
'20. Briefly, describe'the nature of temporary offsite operations involving SNM.
~ 21; The application should include a description or copy of IRT's emergency.
procedures forl fires,-release'or. loss of material, accidental contamination i of personnel, etc. In-addition, the description should state the locations and. quantities =of toxic and hazardous chemicals which, if involved in a fire. :)
spill, or explosion, could result in the release or loss of control of SNM. j I I

LICENSE CONDITION FOR' 1
' PLUT0NIUM ALPHA ~ SOURCES'
< AUGUST 1987-l
- A. -Sources-when not in use shall be stored in a closed container adequately
! designed and constructed to contain plutonium which might otherwise be
' -released during storage.
B.. At least-once everyl3 months, the licensee'shall test the source for loss of plutonium in one of the-following ways using radiation detection instrumentation capable of detecting 0.005 microcurie'of alpha contamination:
l (1) By measurement of:the source of potential alpha contamination through "
surveys of the storage container and areas in which"the source is used;.
or l
.1 (2) By wiping thoroughly the external surfaces of the source mount, other than the radioactive surface ofJthe source, with a piece of filter paper ,
of high wet strength and low porosity moistened with a solution which I will-not attack the mount and, after the paper is allowed.to dry,
~
l' measuring the radioactivity on the paper.
-C. Iflany survey or measurement performed as required by B.(1) or' B.(2) above discloses thesloss of more than 0.005 microcurie of plutonium from the source or if a source has-been damaged or broken, the source shall'be w deemed tofbe losing plutonium. The licensee shall immediately withdraw it from use, and cause-the source to be decontaminated and repaired, or disposed of inL accordance with the ~ Commission's regulations. Within 5 days after determining that any' source has lost plutonium, the licensee shall file a. report with the Division of Industrial and Medical Nuclear Safety.
U. S. Nuclear Regulatory-Commission Washington, DC 20555, describing the source, test results, extent of contamination, and corrective action taken.
A copy of the report shall be sent to the Administrator of the_ nearest NRC Regional Office listed in Appendix D of Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations,- ,
1 Part 20. i D .' Records of test results shall be kept in units of microcuries and maintained for inspection by the Commission. :
E. _Notwithstanding the periodic test required by Paragraph B, any plutonium alpha source containing not more than 0.1 microcurie of plutonium is exempted from the above requirements.

' LICENSE CONDITION FOR' LEAK TESTING' SEALED PLUT0NIUM SOURCES' AUGUST'1987.
LA. Each plutonium source shall-be tested for_ leakage at intervals not to exceed 6 months. In the absence of a certificate from a transferor indicating that
'i a test'has been made within 6 months prior to the transfer, the sealed source shall .not be put Linto ~ use until tested.
I B. . =The test shall be capable of detecting the presence of 0.005 microcurie'of alpha contamination on the test sample. The test sample. shall be taken from the source or from appropriate accessible surfaces of the' device in !,
which the sealed source is permanently or semipennanently mounted or stored.
Records 'of leak test.results shall be kept in units of microcuries and l maintained for inspection.by the Comission. -
C. If;the test' reveals the presence 'of 0.005 microcurie or more of removable alpha contamination,; the licensee shall immediately withdraw the sealed source from use.and shall cause it to-be decontaminated and repaired by a
.. person appropriately licensed to make such repairs or to be disposed of in accordance with the Comission's regulations. ' Within 5 days after determining that any source has leaked, the licensee'shall file a report with the Division of Industrial and Medical Nuclear Safety, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Comission, Washington, DC 20555, describing the source,-test results, extent of. contamination, apparent or suspected cause of source-failure, and' corrective action taken. A copy of the report shall be sent to the Administrator of the nearest NRC Regional Office listed in Appendix D ,
of Title 10, Code of Feder,a1 Regulations,'Part 20. - l The periodic leak test. required by this condition does not apply to sealed l D.
sources that are stored and not being used. The sources excepted from this ;
test shall be tested for leakage prior to any use or transfer to another ;

. LICENSE CONDITION FOR LEAK TESTING SEALED URANIUM SOURCES AUGUST 1987 A., Each uranium source shall be tested for leakage at ' intervals not to exceed 6 months. In the absence of a certificate from a transferor indicating that a test has been made within 6 months-prior'to the transfer, the sealed source shall not be put into use until tested.
.B. The test shall be capable of detecting the presence of 0.005 microcurie of alpha' contamination on the test sample. The test sample shall be taken from the source or from appropriate accessible surfaces of the device in which the sealed source is permanently or semipermanently mounted or stored.
Records of leak test' results shall be kept in units of microcuries and 1 maintained for inspection by the Commission. I C. If the test reveals the presence o'f 0.005 microcurie or more of removable alpha contamination, the licensee shall immediately withdraw the sealed source from use and shall cause it to be decontaminated and repaired by a person appropriately licensed to make such repairs or to be disposed of in accordance with the Commission's regulations.
