TO ALL HOLDERS OF CONSTRUCTION PERMITS AND OPERATING LICENSES
SUBJECT: 10 CFR 20.408 TERMINATION REPORTS - FORMAT GENERIC LETTER NO. 85-08
Pursuant to 10 CFR 20.408, licensees are required to submit to the NRC a report of each individual's exposure to radiation and radioactive material when the individual terminates employment or work assignment at their facility. These exposure reports are commonly referred to as SS20.408 termination reports.
Previously, we have not specified a preferred reporting format for compliance with this regulation. However, the NRC is currently receiving approximately 100,000 termination reports each year, and this number is steadily increasing. For purposes of efficient automatic data processing, it is important to use a standard format. Processing in a more timely fashion will make the data more useful to the NRC and others in their performance of various duties (see Enclosure 1).
For future SS20.408 termination reports we request that you voluntarily use the attached Standard NRC Form-439. Instructions for completing the form are attached to the form. Questions regarding these instructions should be directed to Barbara G. Brooks, Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research, Washington, D. C. 20555, (301) 427-4577.
The NRC is also conducting a pilot program for the electronic transmission of the termination data to the NRC via computer tapes or by direct linkup to the NRC's computing facility, and we would like to encourage you to consider participating. Should you desire more information about this program please contact Ms. Brooks.
The form is intended for use in connection with the information collection requirement established in Section 20.408, 10 CFR Part 20 and approved under OMB Clearance Number 3150-0014.
