Communication With Transport Vehicles
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission), is withdrawing Regulatory Guide 5.32, Revision 1, ``Communication with Transport Vehicles,'' published in May 1975. The guide is being withdrawn because it is outdated due to advances in technology.
Application and Amendment to Facility Operating Licenses Involving Proposed No Significant Hazards Considerations Containing Sensitive Unclassified Non-Safeguard Information
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) has received, by letter dated August 20, 2009, a license amendment application from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA or the licensee), requesting approval of a Decommissioning Plan for its Low-Level Radioactive Burial Site located in Beltsville, Maryland. License No. 19-00915-03 authorizes the licensee to use radioactive byproduct material for research and development activities and for use in gauging and measurement devices. The licensee revised the original plan and re-submitted the amendment request. Specifically, the amendment provides a Decommissioning Plan for the excavation and disposal of low-level radioactive waste from its research and development activities that had been disposed in a previously permitted low-level waste burial area at the Beltsville site.
Low-Level Radioactive Waste Regulatory Management Issues
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) plans to conduct a public meeting to discuss proposed changes to its current regulatory requirements as directed by the Commission in a January 19, 2012, Staff Requirements Memorandum. Information will be gathered from invited subject matter experts, stakeholders, and other interested members of the public regarding the changes proposed by the Commission. Specifically, the NRC staff is interested in gaining a better understanding of the issues associated with specifying a regulatory time of compliance for a low-level radioactive waste disposal facility, allowing licensees the flexibility to implement waste acceptance criteria as an alternative to the current waste classification system, and revising the NRC's licensing requirements for land disposal of radioactive waste.
