John W. Lubinski, Director Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards
SUBJECT:
ANNUAL REPORT ON NATIONAL MATERIALS PROGRAM PERFORMANCE FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024 Enclosed is the fiscal year 2024 report on the status of the National Materials Program performance. The National Materials Program remains protective of public health and safety in regulating the use of radioactive materials. All programs are adequate to protect public health and safety, with a few needing improvements. Notably, the Arkansas, Mississippi, New York, and Washington programs are on heightened oversight. Most programs have legislation, regulations, and guidance compatible with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRCs) regulatory program, though some states had not adopted NRC regulations in a timely manner.
Specifically, Florida, New York, and North Carolina are not compatible with the NRC's regulatory program.

Enclosure ANNUAL REPORT ON THE NATIONAL MATERIALS PROGRAM PERFORMANCE FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024 April 9, 2025
EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
The fiscal year (FY) 2024 report is a summary of the Agreement State and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) radiation control program (RCP) performance, including the ability to: (1) provide reasonable assurance of adequate protection of public health and safety for the safe and secure use of radioactive materials, and (2) maintain Agreement State programs that are compatible with the NRCs regulatory program. This year the report was changed from a calendar year format to an FY format to align with the NRCs planning, implementation, and performance metric reporting. This change was proposed 2 years ago and implemented this year.
The NRC uses the Integrated Materials Performance Evaluation Program (IMPEP) to evaluate RCP performance. Procedures are in place to consistently perform these assessments.
Agreement State and NRC RCPs, collectively referred to as the National Materials Program (NMP), are determined to be adequate if the programs administration ensures protection of public health and safety in regulating the use of radioactive material. Overall, the NMP continues to provide reasonable assurance of adequate protection of public health and safety.
The NMPs performance remains protective of public health and safety in regulating the use of radioactive materials, as measured by the IMPEP. During FY 2024, 36 of the 40 RCPs had an adequacy finding of adequate to protect public health and safety. The four remaining Agreement StatesArkansas, Mississippi, New York, and Washingtonhad adequacy findings of adequate to protect public health and safety but needs improvement. For those RCPs who had IMPEP reviews in FY 2024, 10 of the 12 RCPs were found adequate to protect public health and safety.
Regarding Agreement State compatibility, 36 of the 39 programs had a compatibility finding of compatible with the NRCs regulatory program. The three remaining Agreement States Florida, New York, and North Carolinahad compatibility findings of not compatible with the NRCs regulatory program.
During FY 2024, the Arkansas, Mississippi, New York, and Washington Agreement State Programs were on heightened oversight. These programs are taking corrective actions to address the performance issues, and the effectiveness of those corrective actions are being reviewed and monitored using the IMPEP process. There were no programs on probation in FY 2024. The Washington IMPEP review resulted in more than one unsatisfactory performance indicator, resulting in the NRC not meeting a Congressional performance metric for FY 2024.
The FY 2024 IMPEP results demonstrate that the NMP remains protective of public health and safety in regulating the use of radioactive material. Agreement States continue to play a valuable role in the IMPEP as evidenced by the increase in Agreement State participation and collaboration in the NMP activities. The NRC and its regulatory partners continued to effectively implement the program in a flexible, resilient, and innovative manner to accomplish our mission.
The NRC will continue to monitor performance through the IMPEP, and work with the NMP to address any performance issues or trends.
FY 2024 Annual Report on Agreement States Page 1 BACKGROUND ON THE NRC AGREEMENT STATE PROGRAM Section 274 of the Atomic Energy Act (AEA) of 1954, as amended, provides broad authority for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to establish a unique Federal and State relationship in the administration of regulatory programs to provide reasonable assurance of adequate protection of public health and safety in the industrial, medical, commercial, and research uses of agreement materials (e.g., source, byproduct, and small quantities of special nuclear materials as identified in Subsection 274b. of the AEA). Subsection 274b. of the AEA authorizes the NRC to enter into an agreement by which the NRC discontinues its regulatory authority and the State assumes regulatory authority over some or all these materials. To discontinue its authority, the NRC must find that the State program is adequate to protect public health and safety and compatible with the NRC regulatory program for the regulation of agreement material. The NRC also has an obligation, pursuant to Subsection 274j. of the AEA, to periodically review existing Agreement State program performance to ensure continued adequacy and compatibility.
PERFORMANCE MONITORING The NRC uses the Integrated Materials Performance Evaluation Program (IMPEP) to periodically review Agreement State and NRC programs, collectively referred to as the National Material Program (NMP), to verify that these programs are adequate to protect public health and safety and verify that Agreement State programs are compatible with the NRCs regulatory program. IMPEP reviews are conducted by a team of NRC and Agreement State experts not associated with the radiation control program (RCP) under review.
In accordance with the NRC Management Directive (MD) 5.6, Integrated Materials Performance Evaluation Program (IMPEP), RCPs are determined to be adequate if the administration of these programs provides reasonable assurance of the protection of public health and safety in regulating the use of radioactive material. Adequacy findings under IMPEP result in one of three conclusions: (1) adequate to protect public health and safety, (2) adequate to protect public health and safety but needs improvement, or (3) not adequate to protect public health and safety.
Program performance is measured using the following standardized indicators, as applicable:
Technical Staffing and Training (TST); Status of Materials Inspection Program (SMIP);
Technical Quality of Inspections (TQI); Technical Quality of Licensing Actions (TQLA); Technical Quality of Incident and Allegation Activities (TQIAA); Legislation, Regulations, and Other Program Elements (LROPE); Sealed Source and Device (SS&D) Evaluation Program; Low-Level Radioactive Waste (LLRW) Disposal Program; and Uranium Recovery (UR)
Program.
When the NRC promulgates regulations, it determines the degree to which Agreement States regulations must be compatible with the NRCs regulatory program. Agreement State programs are determined to be compatible with the NRC's regulatory program when they do not create conflicts, duplications, gaps, or other conditions that jeopardize an orderly pattern in the regulation of radioactive material. Compatibility findings under IMPEP result in one of two conclusions: (1) compatible or (2) not compatible.
All reviews are conducted in accordance with the NRC MD 5.6, and a combination of NRC and Agreement State team members. A Management Review Board (MRB), composed of senior NRC managers and an Organization of Agreement States representative, convenes to
FY 2024 Annual Report on Agreement States Page 2 deliberate the adequacy and compatibility findings and the frequency and type of the next IMPEP review. The frequency of IMPEP reviews range from 1 to 5 years, based on the programs performance. To address specific performance concerns, the MRB may also direct that follow-up IMPEP reviews be conducted for less than satisfactory (SAT) performance indicator results. The MRB Chair makes the final determination with respect to the RCP performance based on input from the IMPEP review team, MRB members, and the program being reviewed. The NRC also conducts periodic meetings in between the IMPEP reviews to remain knowledgeable of the status of RCP performance. The NRC also conducts MRBs to discuss the results of periodic meetings for RCPs that are on monitoring or heightened oversight.
The NRC takes a graded approach to address programmatic weaknesses in Agreement State programs. Program improvement measures may include monitoring, heightened oversight, or probation. Under these oversight processes, the NRC works collaboratively with the Agreement States to ensure that they have a full understanding of the issues that need to be addressed, and that appropriate corrective actions are implemented to progress toward reestablishing satisfactory program performance. Monitoring involves periodic conference calls between the NRC and the Agreement State program. Heightened oversight involves the development of a Program Improvement Plan (PIP) and periodic conference calls between the NRC and the Agreement State program. Probation, if approved by the Commission, involves all the activities for heightened oversight plus a notification to the Governor, issuance of a press release and Federal Register Notice, and greater frequency of engagement. This section also discusses the status of RCPs that were found not to be compatible with the NRCs regulatory program.
This year the report was changed from a calendar year format to an FY format to align with the NRCs planning, implementation, and performance metric reporting. During FY 2024, the NRC and its Agreement State partners conducted 12 IMPEP reviews with the support of 41 NRC and 24 Agreement State personnel. Inspector accompaniments were conducted for all FY 2024 IMPEP reviews. The NRC also conducted 14 MRB meetings with the support of 12 Agreement State personnel. Four of the FY 2024 MRB meetings were for IMPEP reviews that were conducted in FY 2023.
AGREEMENT STATE PROGRAM PERFORMANCE This section discusses the status of RCPs that were identified as needing enhanced NRC oversight and are currently on monitoring, heightened oversight, or probation. The NRC increases communication with these Agreement State programs to facilitate improved performance. Programs needing enhanced oversight are summarized in Attachment 1, Enhanced Oversight Status Chart. This section also discusses the status of RCPs found not compatible with the NRCs regulatory program.
Status of Radiation Control Programs Currently On Enhanced NRC Oversight Arkansas Based on the results of the 2022 IMPEP review, the Arkansas Agreement State Program (Arkansas) remained on normal oversight with a periodic meeting in 1 year and a follow-up IMPEP review of the TQLA performance indicator taking place in 2 years (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML22135A001).
FY 2024 Annual Report on Agreement States Page 3 Based on the results of the 2024 follow-up IMPEP review, Arkansas was found adequate to protect public health and safety, but needs improvement, and compatible with the NRC's regulatory program (ML24096A124). The MRB Chair found Arkansas performance SAT for the SMIP, TQLA, and TQIAA performance indicators. The MRB Chair found Arkansas performance unsatisfactory (UNSAT) for the TST performance indicator. Based on the results of the 2024 follow-up IMPEP review and the decline in performance, Arkansas was placed on a period of heightened oversight. The NRC and Arkansas met bimonthly to assess Arkansas progress in completing the corrective actions outlined in their PIP. The next IMPEP review is scheduled to be conducted in 18 months, to allow additional time for Arkansas to make progress on addressing their TST performance challenges.
Mississippi Based on the results of the 2022 IMPEP review, the Commission placed the Mississippi Agreement State Program (Mississippi) on probation (ML22265A228).
Based on Mississippis improved performance seen during the 2023 IMPEP review, the Commission discontinued Mississippis probationary period and placed Mississippi on a period of heightened oversight (ML23188A186).
Based on the results of the 2024 periodic meeting (ML24187A115), the MRB Chair recognized Mississippis improved performance since the 2023 IMPEP review and determined that the next IMPEP review should be conducted as scheduled in 2025. The next IMPEP review is scheduled to be conducted March 31, 2025, through April 4, 2025, and the MRB is scheduled for July 17, 2025.
Washington As a result of the 2022 IMPEP review, the Washington Agreement State Program (Washington) was placed on a period of heightened oversight (ML22206A205). The MRB Chair directed that a follow-up IMPEP review be conducted for the less than satisfactory performance indicators, and a periodic meeting be conducted for the satisfactory performance indicators, both in 2024.
During 2023, Washington experienced significant staff turnover and retention challenges that delayed progress on several recovery actions, including training and qualification of staff. The NRC also formed an independent assessment team to obtain information on Washingtons performance and identify if any additional immediate actions were required to help improve Washingtons performance. The assessment was conducted from September 11-22, 2023, by a team of NRC subject matter experts. The team determined that there was no immediate threat to the adequate protection of public health and safety and made several recommendations for improved program performance (ML23331A800).
Based on the results of the 2024 follow-up IMPEP review, Washington was found adequate to protect public health and safety, but needs improvement, and compatible with the NRCs regulatory program (ML24264A149). The MRB Chair found Washingtons performance SAT for the TQI and LROPE performance indicators. However, the MRB Chair found Washingtons performance SBNI for the TST and TQLA performance indicators. The MRB Chair also found Washingtons performance UNSAT for the SMIP and TQIAA performance indicators. As a result of the 2024 follow-up IMPEP review and the periodic meeting, the team found that Washington had made significant progress on their staffing issues and supplemented their technical staff with contractors to perform inspection activities and licensing actions. The team also found that
FY 2024 Annual Report on Agreement States Page 4 Washington continued to struggle to complete inspection activities in a timely manner and reduce their licensing backlog, both due to staffing and qualification issues. In addition, the team found that while Washington had updated their incident and allegations procedures to include most necessary actions, those procedures had not been fully implemented and required additional updates. The next periodic meeting is scheduled to be conducted in 2025, with the next full IMPEP review taking place in 2026. The MRB Chair also determined that Washington should remain on heightened oversight.
New York Based on the results of the 2022 IMPEP review, the New York Agreement State Program (New York) was placed on heightened oversight (ML22353A062). The MRB Chair also directed that a follow-up IMPEP review be conducted for the less than satisfactory performance indicators, and a periodic meeting be conducted for the satisfactory performance indicators, both in 2024.
In a letter dated May 9, 2023 (ML23131A254), New York Governor Kathy Hochul requested discontinuation of the States SS&D evaluation1 and approval authority. On August 2, 2023, the Commission approved New Yorks request (ML23138A033) and the NRC has reassumed SS&D evaluation and approval authority for all entities in New York.
Based on the results of the 2024 follow-up IMPEP review, New York was found adequate to protect public health and safety, but needs improvement, and not compatible with the NRCs regulatory program due to numerous overdue regulations (ML25017A150). The MRB Chair found New Yorks performance UNSAT for the LROPE performance indicator. The MRB Chair also found New Yorks performance SBNI for LLRW Disposal Program performance indicator.
While New Yorks DOH and DEC continued to have numerous overdue regulations, it was determined that DOH had made some progress on the adoption of overdue regulations and DOH anticipates being current on their regulations by the end of 2025. The next periodic meeting is scheduled to be conducted in 2025, with the next full IMPEP review taking place in 2026. The MRB Chair also determined that New York should remain on heightened oversight.
Status of Radiation Control Programs Found Not Compatible Florida As a result of the 2023 IMPEP review, the Florida Agreement State Program (Florida) was found adequate to protect public health and safety and not compatible with the NRCs regulatory program (ML23289A168). The MRB Chair found Floridas performance SAT for the six performance indicators: TST, SMIP, TQI, TQLA, TQIAA, and SS&D Evaluation Program. The MRB Chair found Floridas performance UNSAT for LROPE. The next periodic meeting is scheduled to be conducted in 2025, with the next IMPEP review taking place in 2027.
North Carolina Based on the results of the 2022 IMPEP review, the North Carolina Agreement State (North Carolina) was found not compatible with the NRCs regulatory program (ML22230D060).
Based on the results of the 2024 periodic meeting (ML24165A131), staff determined that North Carolina had made updating their regulations a priority and had worked to implement 1 The SS&D Program was found SBNI during the 2022 IMPEP review.
FY 2024 Annual Report on Agreement States Page 5 corrective actions that were necessary to support the readoption of regulations in 2025. The status of North Carolinas readoption efforts will be discussed during the next IMPEP review in 2026.
HEALTH OF THE NATIONAL MATERIALS PROGRAM Overall, NMP performance may be measured using the IMPEP review performance indicator results and the overall adequacy and compatibility results. NMP performance continues to be strong, as measured by the IMPEP.
Performance Indicator Results During the 5 years preceding FY 2024, the NRC and its Agreement State partners conducted 48 IMPEP reviews, 2 follow-up IMPEP reviews, and evaluated 312 performance indicators.
During this 5-year period, 279 (89 percent) performance indicators were found SAT, 22 (7 percent) were found SBNI, and 11 (4 percent) were found UNSAT.
In FY 2024, the NRC and its Agreement State partners conducted 9 IMPEP reviews, 3 follow-up IMPEP reviews, and evaluated 68 performance indicators. During FY 2024, 59 performance indicators (87 percent) were found SAT, 5 (7 percent) were found SBNI, and 4 (6 percent) were found UNSAT.
Washingtons FY 2024 IMPEP review resulted in two UNSAT performance indicator findings (e.g., SMIP and TQIAA). As a result, the NRC missed a Congressional performance metric (NM-23). This metric is met only if zero materials programs have more than one UNSAT performance indicator. As noted in the Agreement State Programs Needing Enhanced NRC Oversight section above, Washington remains on heightened oversight and the NRC continues to actively monitor the Programs progress in completing the corrective actions outlined in their PIP. Unrelated to a specific states performance, Congressional metric NM-23 will be discontinued in FY 2025 and replaced with a new metric (NM-24) that measures NMP performance by tracking the percentage of programs that are on enhanced oversight (e.g., monitoring, heightened oversight) or probation, and as such, represents a more integrated view of the NMP. NM-24 establishes a target of less than or equal to 20 percent of the NMP RCPs on enhanced oversight (e.g., monitoring or heightened oversight) or probation. provides a summary of the most recent IMPEP findings and associated adequacy and compatibility results for each of the RCPs that constitute the NMP. As shown in this attachment, two RCPs were found SBNI, three RCPs were found UNSAT, and LROPE continues to be the most challenging performance indicator. This represents a decrease in the number of SBNI ratings, with the number of UNSAT ratings remaining constant. These ratings can be attributed to Agreement States ability to adopt regulations in the required 3-year time frame.
Adequacy and Compatibility Status in the National Materials Program Table 1 provides a summary of the most recent adequacy and compatibility results for each of the RCPs over the last 6 years. Between FY 2019 and FY 2023, 91 percent of the NMP were found adequate to protect public health and safety. Similarly, between FY 2019 and FY 2023, 91 percent of Agreement State RCPs were found compatible with the NRCs regulatory program. During FY 2024, 90 percent of the RCPs were found adequate to protect public health and safety and 92 percent of the RCPs were found compatible with the NRCs regulatory
FY 2024 Annual Report on Agreement States Page 6 program. As such, the FY 2024 results represent a slight decrease over the previous 5-year period. Overall, these results demonstrate that the NMP continues to provide adequate protection of public health and safety.
CONCLUSION The NMPs performance remains protective of public health and safety. All programs are adequate to protect public health and safety, with a few needing improvements, and most programs have legislation, regulations, and guidance compatible with the NRCs regulatory program. The IMPEP continues to be an effective tool to verify that NRC and Agreement State programs are evaluated in a consistent and integrated manner. The NRC and its regulatory partners continue to effectively implement the program in a flexible, resilient, and innovative manner to accomplish our mission, despite challenges presented by the pandemic. The Agreement States continue to play a valuable role with respect to ensuring consistent implementation of the NMP in protecting the public health and safety with respect to the safe and secure use of radioactive materials.
