(5) Submit a radiation survey report of the licensed permanent location(s) of use and storage to confirm that the removable and fixed contamination levels are in accordance with levels specified in He-P 4021.21, as follows:

a. Report levels of radiation in units of microrad per hour of beta and gamma radiation at 1 centimeter and gamma radiation at 1 meter from surfaces;

b. Report levels of radioactivity, including alpha, in:

1. Units of transformations per minute per 100 square centimeters or microcuries per 100 square centimeters removable and fixed on surfaces;

2. Microcuries per milliliter in water; and

3. Picocuries per gram in contaminated solids such as soils or concrete; and

c. Specify the survey or measurement instrument(s) used for conducting the survey and certify that each instrument was properly calibrated and tested.

(e) If no residual radioactive contamination attributable to activities conducted under the license is detected, the licensee shall submit a certification that no detectable radioactive contamination of the location(s) was found.

(f) If detectable levels of residual radioactive contamination attributable to activities conducted under the license are found, the license shall continue to be in effect beyond the expiration date, with respect to possession of residual radioactive material present as contamination until such time as DHHS/RHS notifies the licensee in writing that the license is terminated. During this time the licensee shall be subject to the provisions of He-P 4030.11(h).

(g) If detectable levels of residual radioactive contamination attributable to activities conducted under the license are found, the licensee shall submit a plan for decontamination of the residual radioactive contamination which shall include in addition to the information submitted under He-P 4030.11(d)(4) and (5), any expected levels of residual radioactive contamination which will remain at the time the license is terminated.

(h) Each licensee who possesses residual radioactive material under He-P 4030.11(d)(3), following the expiration date specified in the license, shall:

(1) Limit actions involving radioactive material to those related to decontamination and other activities related to preparation for release for unrestricted use; and
