[ original signed by: M. Federline for:]
FROM:
John T. Greeves, Director Division of Waste Management, NMSS
SUBJECT:
COMMENTS ON DRAFT SAFETY REQUIREMENTS DOCUMENT ON PREDISPOSAL RADIOACTIVE WASTE MANAGEMENT (INCLUDING DECOMMISSIONING)
Fu,suant to your request, Division of Waste Management (DWM) staff has reviewed the draft safety requirements document, entitled, "Predisposal Radioactive Waste Management (including Decommissioning)." Your request is based on a memorandum dated April 18,1998, from Carlton R. Stoiber, Director of Office of International Programs to L. Joseph Callan, the Executive Director for Operations. Our comments are as follows:
1.
On page 9, Section 2.4, DWM staff recommends that the last word be revised from
" limits" to " constraints."
2.
On page 9, Section 2.6, DWM staff suggests that the requirements for protecting against potential exposures to be intemational recommendations.
3.
On page 20, Section 6.2, DWM staff does not agree that a decommissioning plan (DP) is needed for all facilities. NRC regulations describe several cases when submission of a DP by the licensee is required, such as when: (1) procedures would involve techniques not applied routinely during cleanup or maintenance operations; (2) workers would be entering areas not normally occupied where surface contamination and radiation levels are significantly higher than routinely encountered during operation; (3) procedures could result in significantly greater airbome concentrations of radioactive materials than are present during operation; and (4) procedures could result in significamly greater releases of radioactive material to the environment than those associated with operation.
