Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 6, September 18, 2024
(1) The agency may terminate a license using alternate criteria greater than the dose criterion of 641-0.29 (136C), 40.30(2) and 40.30(4)"a" (1) if the licensee:
a. Provides assurance that public health and
safety would continue to be protected and that it is unlikely that the dose
from all man-made sources combined, other than medical, would be more than the
100 mrem/yr (1 mSv/yr) by submitting an analysis of possible sources of
exposure;
b. Has employed, to the
extent practical, restrictions on site use according to the provisions of
641-40.30
(136C) in minimizing exposures at the site;
c. Reduces doses to ALARA levels taking into
consideration any detriments such as traffic accidents expected to potentially
result from decontamination and waste disposal; and
d. Has submitted a decommissioning plan or
license termination plan (LTP) to the agency indicating the licensee's intent
to decommission in accordance with 641-paragraph 39.4(33)"d,"
and specifying that the licensee proposes to decommission by use of alternate
criteria. The licensee shall document in the decommissioning plan or LTP how
the advice of individuals and institutions in the community, who may be
affected by the decommissioning, has been sought and addressed, as appropriate,
following analysis of that advice. In seeking such advice, the licensee shall
provide for:
(1) Participation by
representatives of a broad cross section of community interests who may be
affected by the decommissioning;
(2) An opportunity for a comprehensive,
collective discussion on the issues by the participants represented;
and
(3) A publicly available
summary of the results of all such discussions, including a description of the
individual viewpoints of the participants on the issues and the extent of
agreement and disagreement among the participants on the issues.
(2) The use of alternate criteria to terminate a license requires the approval of the agency after consideration of the staff's recommendations that will address any comments provided by the Environmental Protection Agency and any public comments submitted pursuant to 40.32(136C).
