We have reviewed Tennessees request concerning their Decay-in-Storage regulation, received by our office on March 6, 2024. Tennessee informed the NRC that they are currently reviewing a request from a licensee seeking exemption from this regulation. Tennessee presented their rationale, citing the small difference in half-life for Tm-170 (128.6 days) and its low activity, asserting that the exemption would not pose undue harm or risk to the environment or public. | We have reviewed Tennessees request concerning their Decay-in-Storage regulation, received by our office on March 6, 2024.

UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 Matthew Greenwood, Environmental Consultant 2 Division of Radiological Health Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation William R. Snodgrass, Tennessee Tower 312, 15th Floor 312 Rosa L. Parks Avenue, Nashville, TN 37243
SUBJECT:
TENNESSEE PROPOSED LEGALLY BINDING REQUIREMENTS (LICENSE CONDITION FOR DECAY IN STORAGE)
Dear Matthew Greenwood:
We have reviewed Tennessees request concerning their Decay-in-Storage regulation, received by our office on March 6, 2024. Tennessee informed the NRC that they are currently reviewing a request from a licensee seeking exemption from this regulation. Tennessee presented their rationale, citing the small difference in half-life for Tm-170 (128.6 days) and its low activity, asserting that the exemption would not pose undue harm or risk to the environment or public.
Tennessee is asking NRC to determine the acceptability of this exemption. We discussed our review of the license condition with you on May 7, 2024.
The Standing Committee on Compatibility (Committee) reviewed the Tennessee proposed license condition. The Committees review was conducted in accordance with the "Agreement State Program Policy Statement" (82 FR 48535); October 18, 2017, and the categorization process for NRC program elements in NRC Management Directive 5.9 "Adequacy and Compatibility of Program Elements for Agreement State Programs." The Committee determined that Tennessee may approve the request as an exemption to their regulation considering it is a request from a single licensee.
The State Regulation Status (SRS) Data Sheet in Enclosure 2 summarizes our knowledge of the status of other Tennessee regulations, as indicated. Please let us know if you note any inaccuracies or have any comments on the information contained in the SRS Data Sheet. This letter, including the SRS Data Sheet, is posted on: https://www.nrc.gov/agreement-states.May 15, 2024 M. Greenwood 2 If you have any questions regarding the review, the compatibility and health and safety categories, or any of the NRC regulations used in the review, please contact my staff at AgreementStateRegs.Resource@nrc.gov.
Sincerely, Adelaide S. Giantelli, Chief State Agreement and Liaison Programs Branch Division of Materials Safety, Security, State, and Tribal Programs Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards
