Universal Citation: OR Admin Rules 345-030-0010
Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 12, December 1, 2024
(1) Annual Reports of Environmental Effects. By October 1 of each calendar year, the operator of any reactor described in OAR 345-030-0005 shall submit a report to the Council that contains the following information on reactor operation during the previous calendar year:
(a) The total amounts (measured or
calculated) of radioactivity released to the environment in gaseous, liquid or
solid effluents.
(b) The
radionuclides present in these effluents and the quantities of principal
radionuclides.
(c) The location and
magnitude of the maximum measured or calculated direct radiation level in
unrestricted areas from:
(A) Direct radiation
from the facility;
(B) Direct
radiation from facility effluents.
(d) A description of the general methods and
the results of environmental monitoring.
(2) Notification of Incidents
(a) The operator of any reactor described in
OAR 345-030-0005 shall promptly (no
later than the following working day) notify the Council by telephone of the
occurrence of any incident or condition relating to the operation of the
reactor that could have prevented a nuclear system from performing its safety
functions as described in the Technical Specifications, as set forth at
10 CFR
50.36 in effect January 2006, or in the
Safety Analysis Report, as required by
10 CFR
50.34, in effect January 2006. In addition,
the operator shall submit a written report within 14 days after the
occurrence.
(b) The operator of any
reactor described in OAR
345-030-0005 shall notify the
Council in writing within 30 days after the occurrence of any substantial
variance from performance specifications contained in the Technical
Specifications or Safety Analysis Report.
(3) Reports of Overexposures (from the reactor and its effluents) and Excessive Levels or Concentrations
(a) The operator of any reactor described in
OAR 345-030-0005 shall promptly (no
later than the following working day) notify the Council by telephone if any of
the following events occur:
(A) Exposure (from
the reactor or its effluents) of the whole body of any individual to 25 rems or
more of radiation; exposure of the skin of the whole body of any individual of
150 rems or more; or exposure of the feet, ankles, hands, or forearms of any
individual to 375 rems or more of radiation.
(B) The release of radioactive material in
concentrations that, if averaged over a period of 24 hours, would exceed 5,000
times the applicable limits specified for such material in the Technical
Specifications for effluents under
10 CFR
50.36a or personnel exposure regulations
under 10 CFR 20.
(b) The
operator of any reactor described in OAR
345-030-0005 shall notify the
Council by telephone within 24 hours if any of the following events occur:
(A) Exposure (from the reactor or its
effluents) of the whole body of any individual to 5 rems or more of radiation;
exposure of the skin of the whole body of any individual to 30 rems or more or
radiation; or exposure of the feet, ankles, hand, or forearms to 75 rems or
more of radiation.
(B) The release
of radioactive material in concentrations that, if averaged over a period of 24
hours, would exceed 500 times the applicable limits specified for such
materials in the Technical Specifications for effluents under
10 CFR
50.36a or personnel exposure regulations
under 10 CFR 20.
(c) The
operator of any reactor described in OAR
345-030-0005 shall notify the
Council in writing within 30 days after occurrence of the events described in
subsections (A) and (B) below. Each report required shall describe the extent
of exposure of persons to radiation or to radioactive material, including
estimates of each individual's exposure; the levels of radiation and
concentrations of radioactive material involved; the cause of the exposure,
levels or concentrations; and the corrective steps taken or planned to ensure
against a recurrence.
(A) Exposure (from the
reactor or its effluents) of an individual to radiation or concentrations of
radioactive material in excess of any applicable limits specified in U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulations or in the reactor operating license
required under 10 CFR
50.10.
(B) Levels of radiation or concentrations of
radioactive material (not involving excessive exposure of any individual) in an
unrestricted area in excess of ten times any applicable limit specified in U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulations or in the operating license for the
reactor.
(4) Correspondence with Other State or Federal Agencies. The operator of any reactor described in OAR 345-030-0005 shall provide to the Council a copy of each report related to reactor operations that the operator submits to a state or federal agency, except for material withheld from public disclosure under 10 CFR, Part 2, Section 790.
