OUTLINE

• Section 274 of AEA

• Define Materials Program

• Where Are We Today

• Where Will We Wind Up

• How Do We Get There

PURPOSE OF SECTION 274

• Recognize State Interests - Clarify Responsibilities

• Cooperation Between States and Commission

• Promote Orderly Regulatory Pattern

• Discontinue Commission Responsibilities - Assumption by States

• Coordinate Development of Radiation Standards

• As States Improve Their Capabilities to Regulate Effectively

SECTION 274 (CONTINUED)

• Section 274 (d) - Governor Certifies Program - State Assumes Commission Transfers if Program Meets Subsection O, Compatible and Adequate

• Section 274 (g) - Cooperation on Radiation Standards

• Section 274 (i) - Cooperate on Inspections, Other Functions, Training

• Section 274 (j) - Provides for Commission Oversight of Agreement

WHAT IS THE MATERIALS PROGRAM

• Technical Bases - Fundamental Science and Operational Experience

• Legislation

• Regulations

• Licensing - Permitting, Registration

• Inspection - Conformation, Reporting

• Enforcement - Corrective Action, Remediation

• Feedback - Operational Experience

INFRASTRUCTURE SUPPORT

• Hardware

- Instruments, Facilities, Laboratories

- Standards - Radiation and Radioactive Material

• Software

- Education

- Training

- Analytical Software

- Procedures, Standards of Practice, How tos

- Link to Technical Bases - UNSCEAR, ICRP, IAEA, BEIR, NEA, NCRP

- Certification of Competence

WHERE ARE WE

• Most Licensees 3/1 Are Agreement States Licensees

• Most Programs Are Supported Wholly or in Part on Licensee Fees

• Reasonable Consensus on Commission Oversight Based on IMPEP

• Agreement States Have Had Greater Role in Materials Regulation and Program Infrastructure Support Since Beginning of IMPEP Program

WHERE ARE WE GOING - NATIONAL MATERIALS PROGRAM

• We Are Asymptotically Approaching 100% Agreement States

• What Function Are the Minimum NRC Must Do Under the AEA

• What Functions are Desirable for the NRC to Do

• What Would the Resulting Program Look Like

• What Would it Cost

• How Would it be Funded

• Recognize the Functions That the NRC Would Perform to Meet its Remaining Regulatory Mission - Reactor Radiation Protection

• What Legislation is Needed
