Attachment No. 1 31310022F0010 TITLE: Technical Assistance for the Development of the Regulatory Improvements for Production and Utilization Facilities Transitioning to Decommissioning Rulemaking C.1 Background The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) initiated the decommissioning rulemaking to amend the current requirements for production and utilization facilities transitioning to decommissioning. Experience has demonstrated that licensees for facilities that are transitioning to decommissioning seek several exemptions and license amendments per site to establish a long-term licensing basis for decommissioning. By issuing a decommissioning rule, the NRC would be able to establish regulations that would maintain safety and security at sites transitioning to decommissioning without the need to grant specific exemptions or license amendments in certain regulatory areas. Specifically, the decommissioning rulemaking has the following goals: (1) continue to provide reasonable assurance of adequate protection of the public health and safety and common defense and security at decommissioning production and utilization facilities; (2) ensure that the requirements for decommissioning production and utilization facilities are clear and appropriate; (3) codify those issues that are found to be generically applicable to all decommissioning production and utilization facilities and have resulted in the need for similarly-worded exemptions or license amendments; and (4) identify, define, and resolve additional areas of concern or other issues deemed relevant by the staff related to the regulation of production and utilization facilities that are transitioning to decommissioning.

The proposed rule includes changes related to the decommissioning of production and utilization facilities in the following areas:

  • Physical Security
  • Drug and Alcohol Testing
  • Certified Fuel Handler Definition and Elimination of the Shift Technical Advisor
  • Decommissioning Funding Assurance
  • Offsite and Onsite Financial Protection Requirements and Indemnity Agreements
  • Environmental Considerations
  • Record Retention Requirements
  • Low-Level Waste Transportation
  • Spent Fuel Management Planning
  • Foreign Ownership, Control, or Domination
  • Clarification of Scope of License Termination Plan Requirement
  • Removal of License Conditions and Withdrawal of Orders For more information about the staffs rationale for proceeding with rulemaking in each of these areas, please see Regulatory Improvements for Power Reactors Transitioning to Decommissioning; RIN Number: 3150-AJ59; NRC Docket ID: NRC-2015-0070; Regulatory Basis Document, dated November 20, 2017 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML17215A010).

The staff provided its recommendation for the proposed rule to the Commission on May 7, 2018 (SECY-18-0055, Proposed Rule: Regulatory Improvements for Production and Utilization Facilities Transitioning to Decommissioning (RIN 3150-AJ59), ADAMS Accession No. ML18012A019).

The Commission approved publication of the proposed rule with changes on November 3, 2021 (SRM-SECY-18-0055, Staff Requirements - SECY-18-0055 - Proposed Rule: Regulatory Improvements for Production and Utilization Facilities Transitioning to Decommissioning (RIN 3150-AJ59), ADAMS Accession No. ML21307A046).

C.2 Objective The objective of this task order is to have the contractor provide support to the NRC staff for various activities associated with the development of the rulemaking to codify the exemptions and other licensing actions currently being processed for nuclear power reactors transitioning to decommissioning. These activities include: binning the public comments on the proposed rule and regulatory guidance documents, conducting the information collection burden review, and supporting the staff in preparing and reviewing the various documents associated with the draft final rule package for the rulemaking.
