'FROM: Ralph S, Heyer, Health Physicist, State and Governmental Affairs Staff, Region IV

SUBJECT:

REPORT AND STAFF EVALUATION FOR THE COLORADO RADIATION CONTROL PROGRAM - JUNE 8, 1984 TO OCTOBER 25, 1985 Enclosed is ?.he subject report and staff evaluation.

The secff was unable ta mab en initial finding of adequacy and compatibility of the Colorads radiation control program due to comments in two Category I and three Category II indicators. The state needed complete documentation for the incident reports (materials) and current and complete information for the

. technical quality of licensing actions (uranium mill).

Other. comments and recommendations were developed during the review regarding the State's inspection reports for the materials program as well as inspection procedures and staffing level for the uranium mill program.

During the next routine review it is recommended that the State's policy for escalated enforcement for the uranium mill program be reviewed. This policy was in draft and is anticipated to be completed by the next program review.

While the State has regulations in place for sureties, the reviewer did not determine whether surety financial tests and specific surety procedures were acceptable. It is therefore recommended that a more specific analysis be conducted during the next scheduled program review.

Subsequent to the review it was determined that the State does not have any

" major" licensees which would meet the criteria for establishing a radiological contingency plan (see comments in Volume I, Pages 45 and 47).

It has also been determined that the State has adopted the most recent revision to their radiation control regulations on November 20, 1985, w1;h an effective date of December 30, 1986.
