Increase in the Maximum Amount of Primary Nuclear Liability Insurance
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its regulations to increase the required amount of primary nuclear liability insurance from $450 million to $500 million for each nuclear reactor that is licensed to operate, is designed for the production of electrical energy, and has a rated capacity of 100,000 electrical kilowatts or more. This change complies with the provision in the Price-Anderson Amendments Act of 1988 that states the amount of primary financial protection required of licensees by the NRC shall be the maximum amount available at reasonable cost and on reasonable terms from private sources.
Draft Interim Staff Guidance: Radiological Survey and Dose Modeling of the Subsurface To Support License Termination
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is soliciting public comment on draft Interim Staff Guidance (ISG), DUWP-ISG-02, ``Radiological Survey and Dose Modeling of the Subsurface to Support License Termination.'' The purpose of this draft ISG is to provide guidance on surveys of open surfaces in the subsurface, including open excavations, materials planned for reuse, and substructures. This draft ISG also provides guidance on the use of commonly used decommissioning dose modeling codes for submerged and partially submerged substructures to develop clean-up levels, and on methods to evaluate risk from existing groundwater contamination. This draft ISG supplements guidance found in NUREG-1757, Volume 2, Revision 2, which pertains to licensees subject to the license termination rule found in NRC regulations. If finalized, this ISG is intended for use by applicants, licensees, and NRC staff. The guidance is also available to Agreement States and the public.
