SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
AJBRF in Omaha, Nebraska, was
operated by the Omaha Veterans
Administration Medical Center (VAMC)
to support nuclear medicine and
research programs conducted at the
Omaha VAMC. Between 1959 and 1965,
the facility was funded as a national
laboratory and employed approximately
30 people. The AJBRF was primarily
used for neutron activation of biological
samples, but was also used for training
Fort Calhoun Station nuclear power
reactor operators.
By letters dated September 21, 2004,
August 15, 2011, March 8, 2012, May
21, 2014, and November 12, 2014,
(ADAMS Accession Nos. ML042740512,
ML11255A334, ML12075A202,
ML14150A404 (Package),
ML14335A597, respectively), the
licensee submitted to the NRC an
application for amendment of Facility
Operating License No. R–57 for AJBRF.
The application requested NRC
approval of the AJBRF decommissioning
plan (DP). The NRC approved the
revised VA DP by Amendment No. 12
to License R–57, dated January 8, 2015
(ADAMS Package Accession No.
ML14318A624).
As required by the approved DP, the
VA submitted a Final Status Survey
VerDate Sep<11>2014
20:16 Jul 29, 2016
Jkt 238001
(FSS) Plan, dated October 15, 2015
(ADAMS Accession No. ML15299A385),
as a supplement to the DP. By letter
dated November 4, 2015 (ADAMS
Accession No. ML15302A508), the NRC
reviewed the FSS Plan and determined
that it was consistent with the guidance
in NUREG–1757, ‘‘Consolidated
Decommissioning Guidance’’ (ADAMS
Accession No. ML063000243); and
NUREG–1575, ‘‘Multi-Agency Radiation
Survey and Site Investigation Manual’’
(ADAMS Accession No. ML082470583).
On February 29, 2016, the VA
submitted its FSS Report (ADAMS
Accession No. ML16068A254) and
requested termination of the AJBRF
license. The report demonstrates that
the criteria for termination, set forth in
its DP and FSS Plan, have been
satisfied. The FSS Report indicates that
all individual radiological measurement
determinations made throughout the
facility for surface contamination (both
total and removable) were found to be
less than the criteria established in the
DP. Similarly, all sample results were
found to be less than the volumetric
radionuclide concentration criteria
established in the DP. Additionally, all
the radioactive wastes have been
removed from the facility, and
documentation regarding its removal
disposition is provided in the FSS
Report. As such, the NRC staff
determined that the survey results in the
report comply with the criteria in the
NRC-approved DP and the release
criteria in subpart E of part 20 of title
10 of the Code of Federal Regulations
(10 CFR).
On September 21–23, 2015 (ADAMS
Accession No. ML15316A495), Region
IV of the NRC conducted a routine
safety inspection at the AJBRF. The
inspection was an examination of the
VA’s licensed activities as they relate to
radiation safety and to compliance with
the Commission’s regulations and the
license conditions, including the DP
and FSS Plan. The inspection consisted
of observations by the inspectors,
interviews with personnel, and a review
of procedures and records. No health
and safety concerns were identified
during these inspections.
On December 8–9, 2015, Oak Ridge
Associated Universities (ORAU)
performed confirmatory surveys. The
survey activities performed included
cursory gamma scans, 100 percent of the
facility floor, judgment scans of surfaces
(based on unusual appearance, location
relative to known contaminated areas,
and high potential for residual
radioactivity), direct measurements, and
smear collection (wet and dry). The
ORAU provided the results of the
confirmatory surveys in a report dated
PO 00000
Frm 00111
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
February 24, 2016 (ADAMS Accession
No. ML16173A165). The ORAU report
showed that results of all samples were
less than the volumetric radionuclide
concentration criteria established in the
DP.
Based on observations during NRC
inspections, decommissioning activities
have been carried out by the VA in
accordance with the approved AJBRF
DP. Additionally, NRC staff evaluated
the VA’s FSS Report and the results of
the independent confirmatory survey
conducted by ORAU. All FSS Report
measurements were found to be less
than the DP and FSS Plan criteria, and
ORAU’s analytical results from
independent confirmatory surveys were
consistent with the VA’s FSS Report
results. Therefore, the NRC staff has
concluded that the VA AJBRF has
completed decommissioning in
accordance with the approved DP. The
NRC staff evaluated the VA AJBRF FSS
Report, DP, and associated
documentation and determined that the
facilities and site are suitable for
unrestricted release in accordance with
the criteria for license termination in 10
CFR part 20, subpart E. By letter dated
July 22, 2016 (ADAMS Accession No.
ML16173A093), the licensee was
informed of the license termination.
Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR
50.82(b)(6), Facility Operating License
No. R–57 is terminated.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 22nd
day of July 2016.
