Current through Bulletin 2024-06, March 15, 2024
(1) The Director may terminate a license using alternative criteria greater than the dose criterion of Section R313-15-402, and Subsections R313-15-403(2) and R313-15-403(4)(a)(i)(A), 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 one mSv (0.1 rem) per year limit of Subsection
R313-15-301(1)(a),
by submitting an analysis of possible sources of exposure; and
(b) Has employed, to the extent practical,
restrictions on site use according to the provisions of Section
R313-15-403
in minimizing exposures at the site; and
(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 to the Director indicating the licensee's intent to
decommission in accordance with Subsection
R313-22-36(4),
and specifying that the licensee proposes to decommission by use of alternate
criteria. The licensee shall document in the decommissioning plan or license
termination plan 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:
(i)
Participation by representatives of a broad cross section of community
interests who may be affected by the decommissioning; and
(ii) An opportunity for a comprehensive,
collective discussion on the issues by the participants represented; and
(iii) 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.
(e) Has provided sufficient
financial assurance in the form of a trust fund to enable an independent third
party, including a governmental custodian of a site, to assume and carry out
responsibilities for any necessary control and maintenance of the site.
(2) The use of alternate criteria to terminate a license requires the approval of the Director after consideration of recommendations from the Division's staff, comments provided by federal, state and local governments, and any public comments submitted pursuant to Section R313-15-405.
