Section 219.7 - Effect of incorporation of 10 CFR 20.1403 "Criteria for license termi nation under restricted conditions
Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 44, November 2, 2024
The Department will not terminate a license under the conditions of restricted release as provided for in 10 CFR 20.1403 (relating to criteria for license termination under restricted conditions) until a license termination plan (LTP), approved by the Department, has been in effect for a period of time sufficient to demonstrate to the Department that continued implementation of the plan will be effective in maintaining compliance with the required conditions of the plan. The Department may choose to implement the license termination process in one or more of the following steps:
(1) The license is amended to authorize activities necessary to begin decommissioning under the LTP.
(2) After decommissioning activities are complete and the provisions of 10 CFR 20.1403 are in effect under the LTP, the license may be amended to end authorization of licensed activities. The license shall remain in effect for up to 5 years being limited to ownership/possession of the decommissioned material.
(3) At the end of the period prescribed in paragraph (2), the Department will make a determination of the effectiveness of the LTP as enacted. If the LTP has demonstrated the ability to maintain compliance with 10 CFR 20.1403, the license will be terminated subject to the revisitation provision of 10 CFR 20.1401(c) (relating to general provision and scope) regarding new evidence of a significant threat to health and safety. Otherwise, the licensee will be directed by the Department to take corrective actions as necessary to conform to 10 CFR 20.1403 and the process shall revert back to paragraph (2).
