RESPONSEThe information for materials licensees is available in WBL. There are no specific licensees that are overdue for routine inspections based on the criteria under IMC 2800. In addition, there are no overdue field office inspections based solely on the calculation criteria under IMC 2800. However, Region IV is making a concerted effort to inspect permanent field office(s) authorized on licenses, starting with Priority 1s, which have never been inspected. Therefore, these inspections could be considered overdue based on I MC 2800 criteria that "Inspection of various field offices should be rotated to assess the licensee's entire program over several inspection cycles.
===RESPONSE===
Some of the permanent field offices have not been inspected over several inspection cycles. More detailed information on the proposed permanent field office inspections will be available during the INPEP review, as requested.

II. Status of Materials Inspection Program

10. Please identify individual licensees or categories of licensees the Region is inspecting less frequently than called for in NRCs Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 2800 and for uranium recovery, and explain the reason for the difference.

The list only needs to include the following information: license category or licensee name and license number, your inspection interval, and rationale for the difference.

RESPONSE

For Materials Program under IMC 2800, Region IV inspects facilities at the frequency described in the manual and has not modified the frequency.

For Uranium Program under IMC 2641 for in-situ leach facilities, and IMC 2801 for decommissioning uranium sites, Region IV currently inspects at the frequency described in the manual and has implemented a process to document any changes to the inspection frequency. In addition, the Division is pursuing further clarifications for certain types of facilities described in the manual. Further specifics are provided below.

  • Facilities that have licenses but have not started any construction activities, have not been inspected and the IMC 2641 does not specify when pre-operation or initial inspections must be performed. Going forward, the Region IV Divisional office will contact the licensee annually and document the status of the facility in order to determine when to start inspection activities. In addition, feedback form for IMC 2641 will be provided to the Program Office to further clarify this process.
  • The decision to reschedule or postpone inspections for operating and decommissioning uranium facilities due to the status of licensee activities, weather, Region IV Divisional office staffing and workload, will be documented in an internal Memo approved by management, as specified in each of the IMCs.
11. Please provide the number of routine inspections of Priority 1, 2, and 3 licensees, as defined in IMC 2800 and the number of initial inspections that were completed during each year of the review period.

5

RESPONSE

The information for materials licensees is available in WBL. No action required by Region IV.

Please see the following summary for Uranium recovery data. The detailed inspection information will be made available during the review. In addition, the master inspection plans (MIPs) generated for each year, will be made available during the IMPEP review.

URANIUM RECOVERY DATA FISCAL YEAR Total number of Number of overdue inspections reports 2014 (since May 2014) 7 5 2015 7 3 2016 18 0 2017 11 2 2018 14 1 TOTAL 57 11

12. Please submit a table, or a computer printout, that identifies inspections of Priority 1, 2, and 3 licensees and initial inspections that were conducted overdue.

At a minimum, the list should include the following information for each inspection that was conducted overdue during the review period:

(1) Licensee Name (2) License Number (3) Priority (IMC 2800)

(4) Last inspection date or license issuance date, if initial inspection (5) Date Due (6) Date Performed (7) Amount of Time Overdue (8) Date inspection findings issued

RESPONSE

The information for materials licensees is available in WBL. No action required by Region IV.

The summary of Uranium Recovery inspections conducted overdue is available in Attachment 2.

13. Please submit a table or computer printout that identifies any Priority 1, 2, and 3 licensees and initial inspections that are currently overdue, per IMC 2800. At a minimum, the list should include the same information for each overdue inspection provided for Question 12 plus your action plan for completing the inspection. Also include your plan for completing the overdue inspections.

6

RESPONSE

The information for materials licensees is available in WBL. There are no specific licensees that are overdue for routine inspections based on the criteria under IMC 2800. In addition, there are no overdue field office inspections based solely on the calculation criteria under IMC 2800. However, Region IV is making a concerted effort to inspect permanent field office(s) authorized on licenses, starting with Priority 1s, which have never been inspected. Therefore, these inspections could be considered overdue based on IMC 2800 criteria that Inspection of various field offices should be rotated to assess the licensee's entire program over several inspection cycles. Some of the permanent field offices have not been inspected over several inspection cycles. More detailed information on the proposed permanent field office inspections will be available during the INPEP review, as requested.

The information for each Uranium Recovery license will be made available during the IMPEP review. In addition, a summary of the overdue inspections is provided in Attachment 2. During 2018 and 2019, Region IV made a concerted effort to perform all overdue inspections at operating and decommissioning uranium facilities. For those facilities that have a license and have not yet started construction activities, the Region IV Divisional office will contact the licensee annually and document the status of the facility in order to determine when to start inspection activities. This activity is being tracked in a Branch Action Item tracker. In addition, the Region has developed a more detailed Master Inspection Plan to track required inspections under the Uranium and Decommissioning programs.

14. Please provide the number of reciprocity licensees that were candidates for inspection per year as described in IMC 1220 and indicate the number of reciprocity inspections of candidate licensees that were completed each year during the review period.

RESPONSE

During the past five calendar years, DNMS has only met the required inspection metric of 20% of reciprocity candidates once, in calendar year 2017, and only then by the then-Director instructing that a non-candidate whose inspection resulted in escalated enforcement will be counted towards the 20%. The table below summarizes the Region IVs performance with respect to reciprocity.
