87654 NRC INSPECTION MANUAL NMSS/DUWP INSPECTION PROCEDURE 87654 URANIUM MILL, IN-SITU RECOVERY, AND 11e.(2) BYPRODUCT MATERIAL DISPOSAL SITE DECOMMISSIONING INSPECTION Effective Date: 12/30/2022 PROGRAM APPLICABILITY: IMCs 2801 and 2602 87654-01 INSPECTION OBJECTIVES 01.01 To determine if licensed decommissioning programs for in-situ uranium recovery sites, uranium mills and other sites in possession of 11e.(2) byproduct material are being conducted in accordance with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requirements as specified in individual licenses and the regulations.
01.02 To determine if the licensees uranium recovery decommissioning program is implemented in a manner to ensure the safety and health of workers, public and protection of the environment during decommissioning.
87654-02 INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS Conduct performance-based inspections with an emphasis on risk-significant activities that have an impact on safety and the environment. As described in IMC 2602, risk modules (RMs) are program areas that have been determined to be important to reducing risks at decommissioning facilities. RMs were identified to focus inspection efforts on those site activities that are the most likely to impact the safety and health of workers, the public and/or the environment. Inspection time and effort should be concentrated on the RMs described in the following paragraphs.
02.01 Observation of Decommissioning Activities (RM-01)
Observe one or more physical activities that require written procedures, work plans, hazard assessments or radiation work permits (RWPs) approved by the Radiation Safety Officer (RSO), such as cell construction, soil and groundwater sampling or remediation, building survey, decontamination, or demolition.
02.02 Occupational Radiation Protection (RM-02)
Assess trends in radiation protection program performance, such as increases in occupational exposures.
02.03 Security and Control of Radioactive Material (RM-03)
Observe the licensees security and control of radioactive material, with particular emphasis on storage of decommissioning wastes.
Issue Date: 12/15/22 2
87654 02.04 Waste Generation, Storage and Transportation (RM-04)
Verify the licensee has transferred or disposed of licensed materials in accordance with NRC regulations. Observe one or more waste packaging and loading of waste for placement in a disposal cell or transport offsite. If the inspector is not able to observe waste operations, then review a selection of waste packaging and transportation records generated since the last inspection.
02.05 Public Dose, Effluent Releases and Environmental Monitoring (RM-05)
Verify that the licensee is implementing a radiation protection program that ensures radiation dose level and effluent releases in unrestricted areas did not exceed the limits.
Observe the condition of at least one environmental monitoring location and one effluent location unless decommissioning has progressed to the point where environmental and effluent monitoring are no longer required by the license. Observe the collection of samples from these locations. Assess trends in effluent and environmental monitoring, including groundwater monitoring. Review the licensees estimate of annual public dose and the annual land use report.
02.06 Management Organization and Control (RM-06)
Review facility changes, tests and experiments authorized by the Safety and Environmental Review Panel (SERP). Verify that the licensee has implemented the appropriate programs for management oversight and control of decommissioning activities.
02.07 Final Status Surveys (FSS) (RM-07)
If FSSs are being conducted and completed by the licensee, refer to Inspection Procedure (IP) 83890, Closeout Inspection and Survey, for additional information regarding review of the FSS.
87654-03 INSPECTION GUIDANCE 03.01 Observation of Decommissioning Activities (RM-01)
Identify one or more physical decommissioning activities that are ongoing at the site.
When selecting from multiple activities, the inspector should prioritize activities involving higher radiological risk. This includes area with higher inventories of radioactive materials; areas with loose or soluble chemical forms of radioactive material; areas with hard to detect radionuclides (e.g., alpha-emitting radionuclides or low energy beta emitting radionuclides) and decommissioning activities using novel or unconventional technologies. Prioritize activities which involve the application or physical or chemical forces or energy, such as demolition, dismantling, decontamination, and remediation.
03.02 Occupational Radiation Protection (RM-02)
Observe ongoing activities under RWPs or standard operating procedures to ensure that all necessary controls to limit occupational exposure are in place and work is conducted in accordance with the associated documents. Records to be reviewed include occupational exposure records, RWPs, radiological survey and release records. Quality
Issue Date: 12/15/22 3
87654 control of records and data should be evaluated. For example, if RWPs require respirators or breathing zone (BZ) air samplers, ensure that individuals who are signed into the RWP are respirator qualified or were issued BZ monitors and the results were converted into dose for each employee signed into the RWP. Inspections should review spreadsheet calculations to ensure the algorithms are correct.
Ensure the licensee reported any radiological events to the NRC as required by the license and regulations. If the licensee has agreed to provide courtesy notifications to the NRC for issues that are not NRC reportable but are required to be reported to the State, verify that those notifications were also made to the NRC. The inspector should make sure they understand what notifications are required by license condition and which are courtesy notifications.
The routine audit program review requirements for the radiation protection program vary by site. At a minimum, Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 20.1101(c),
Radiation Protection Programs, requires licensees to conduct annual program reviews.
Guidance for annual as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA) audits is provided in Regulatory Guide (RG) 8.31, Information Relevant to Ensuring that Occupational Radiation Exposures at Uranium Recovery Facilities will be As Low As Reasonably Achievable, Section 2.3.3. The license application and specific license conditions may provide additional audit and program review requirements.
Activities to be evaluated:
- a. Observe routine contamination surveys in restricted or unrestricted areas, such as process areas, maintenance areas and rest areas (e.g., break rooms).
- b. Observe the use of ventilation controls for occupied structures to reduce radon levels.
- c. Observe workers use of radiological measuring and sampling equipment. Ensure that the licensees staff demonstrates knowledge and understanding of measuring equipment, lapel air samplers and self-frisking stations. Perform independent radiation surveys to assess the performance of the licensees radiation protection program.
- d. Observe postings of notices to workers. According to 10 CFR 19.11(f), Posting of Notices to Workers, notices to workers shall appear in a sufficient number of places to permit individuals engaging in NRC-licensed or regulated activities to observe them on the way to or from any licensed or regulated locations to which the document applies, shall be conspicuous and shall be replaced if defaced or altered. Verify the licensees posting of notices to workers meets the regulatory requirements.
- e. Observe radioactive materials postings. Note: Many licensees have conditions that exempt the licensee from the posting requirements of 10 CFR 20.1902(e), Posting of Areas or Rooms in which Licensed Material is Used or Stored, for areas within the mill or in-situ recovery site provided that all entrances to the mill or in-situ site are conspicuously posted in accordance with 10 CFR 20.1902(e) with the statement that any area within the facility may contain radioactive material.
- f. Review records that document occupational exposures including bioassay and dose assessment performed as result of incidents or accidents.
- g. Review records such as equipment release records and routine contamination surveys.
Issue Date: 12/15/22 4
87654
- h. Review RWPs as need to supplement the inspection effort. The goal of this review is to ensure that radiological controls have been established and implemented for non-routine work activities. Cross reference RWPs against bioassay and air monitoring records.
- i.
Review radiological instrumentation program and associated records. This includes but is not limited to: portable survey instruments, fixed monitoring equipment, constant air monitors, portable air samplers, BZ air samplers, and alarming dosimeters. If the licensee calibrates and maintains any of these components, observe the calibration and maintenance activities or have personnel demonstrate the processes used. Records for review include calibration and functional test records.
- j.
Assess training and qualification of the licensees employees through interviews and observation to determine how well employees understand their work activities and to ascertain whether licensee staff are qualified to implement the NRC-approved Decommissioning Plan (DP).
03.03 Security and Control of Radioactive Materials (RM-03)
Verify both passive and active measures are in place to secure radioactive materials from unauthorized removal or access. Verify both passive and active measures are in accordance with the procedures and process detailed in the DP. Passive measures include but are not limited to: ropes, to control access, labeling of containers, and posting of storage areas. Active measures include but are not limited to: locked storage locations with key control when materials are not in use and maintaining constant surveillance when not stored in a locked location. If the licensee possessing quantities of materials that meet the 10 CFR Part 37, Physical Protection of Category 1 and Category 2 Quantities of Radioactive Material, requirements, refer to IP 87137, 10 CFR Part 37 Materials Security Program, for additional information.
03.04 Waste Generation, Storage and Transportation (RM-04)
Verify the presence of passive and active measures are in place to control access to radioactive materials and waste. See Section 03.07 for security and control of radioactive wastes. Appendix B of IMC 2602 includes a list of discretionary procedures, including IP 86740, Inspection of Transportation.
If the licensee has a tailings impoundment or evaporation pond, verify by walking down the impoundment or pond, that there are not failures or breaks in the impoundment embankments and no tears in the impoundment liner. Look for signs of drilling or washout. Verify the leak detection and impoundment water levels monitoring systems are in place and operational. Ensure that visual inspections are performed by the licensee staff at the required frequency. If the impoundment fluids are identified in the groundwater leak detection system, verify that appropriate actions to cleanup, and correct the issue are timely and the required notifications completed.
03.05 Public Dose, Effluent Releases and Environmental Monitoring (RM-05)
- a. Verify the licensee is implementing a radiation control program that ensures radiation dose levels and effluent releases in unrestricted areas did not exceed the public dose limits set forth in 10 CFR 20.1301, Dose Limits for Individual Members of the Public, and §20.1302, Compliance with Dose Limits for Individual Members of the Public, during decommissioning. Verify the annual radiation protection program audit report is
Issue Date: 12/15/22 5
87654 included with the annual or semiannual effluent report submittals, if required by license condition.
- b. If the facility has a tailings pile for onsite disposal of radioactive wastes, verify that the licensee conducts annual radon flux measurements to demonstrate compliance with Appendix A of 10 CFR Part 40, Criteria Relating to the Operation of Uranium Mills and the Disposition of Tailings or Wastes Produced by the Extraction or Concentration of Source Material From Ores Processed Primarily for Their Source Material Content, Criterion 6 requirements. Verify the method used to conduct the radon flux measurements is the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Method 115 or an NRC approved equivalent.
- c. Observe the condition of environmental monitoring stations and effluent locations unless decommissioning has progressed to such an extent that environmental and effluent monitoring is no longer required. Observe the collection of samples from these locations or if that is not possible, have personnel demonstrate the sample collection processes.
Assess trends in effluent and environmental monitoring.
- d. Verify that groundwater quality data were collected at the correct locations and frequency as required by the license (NRC-approved radiological environmental monitoring program), were analyzed for the right constituents, and were verified against established detection or compliance standards, as appropriate. If groundwater quality data indicated detection or compliance standards (including compliance standards set by alternate concentration limits) were exceeded, confirm that the licensee appropriately notified the NRC and took appropriate corrective actions. Verify that compliance wells were correctly located with respect to the most recent NRC-approved locations. If applicable verify the groundwater corrective action programs were conducted in a timely manner. Verify that wells and boreholes that must be sealed under the approved DP or reclamation plan, were correctly sealed and abandoned.
- e. If the licensee agreed to provide courtesy notifications to the NRC for issues, such as spills and excursions that are not reportable to the NRC but were required to be reported to the State, verify that these events were also reported to the NRC. Note: for some licensees this is not a courtesy agreement but a license condition.
03.06 Management Organization and Control (RM-06)
Review licensee implementation of approved plans, programs, regulatory requirements and license conditions for the management and control of decommissioning of the facility. This review should include the following: (1) the license organizational structure in place for the decommissioning project; (2) designation and qualification of the RSO; (3) Quality Assurance program and annual review; (4) records control and storage; (5) safety committee; and (6) decommissioning and cleanup procedures in place or to be implemented. See IP 87305, Management Organization and Control, for additional information.
Observe facility changes, tests or experiments authorized by the licensees SERP when reviewing the licensees documentation of changes, tests and/or experiments assess whether the change, test or experiment would:
- a. Result in more than a minimal increase in the frequency of occurrence of an accident previously evaluated in the license application (as updated).
Issue Date: 12/15/22 6
87654
- b. Result in more than a minimal increase in the likelihood of occurrence of a malfunction of a facility structure, equipment, or monitoring system (SEMS) important to safety previously evaluated in the license application (as updated).
- c. Create a possibility for an accident of a different type than any previously evaluated in the license application (as updated).
- d. Create the possibility for a malfunction of a SEMS important to safety with a different results than previously evaluated in the license application (as updated); or
- e. Result in a departure from the method of evaluation described in the license application (as updated) used by the NRC in establishing the final safety evaluation report, environmental impact statement, environmental assessment, technical evaluation report or other analysis and evaluations for license amendments.
If the inspector determines that one or more of the criteria listed above is met, they should consult in the NRC project manager.
03.07 FSS (RM-07)
If FSSs are being conducted and completed by the licensee, refer to IP 83890 for additional information on the review of FSS.
87654-04 RESOURCE ESTIMATE The time onsite inspection hours required to complete this IP are dependent upon: (1) the licensees decommissioning activities being inspected; (2) the standard uranium recovery health and safety inspection areas covered in the inspection; (3) the overall complexity of decommissioning at the facility, and; (4) the duration of the licensees decommissioning program. For facilities needing a significant decommissioning effort, it is estimated that approximately 10 to 40 inspection hours will be needed to complete each inspection of a key decommissioning activity or standard health and safety area.
87654-05 PROCEDURE COMPLETION This IP is considered complete when the inspector has sufficiently reviewed the licensees performance under each RM and the objectives of this procedure have been met.
