Abstract

In September 2003, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) published a three-volume NUREG report, NUREG-1757, “Consolidated NMSS Decommissioning Guidance.” NUREG-1757 provides guidance on: planning and implementing license termination under the License Termination Rule (LTR) in 10 CFR Part 20, Subpart E; complying with the radiological criteria for license termination; and complying with the requirements for financial assurance and recordkeeping for decommissioning and timeliness in decommissioning of materials facilities.

This draft supplement to NUREG-1757 is the first of periodic updates to the three volumes of NUREG-1757, to reflect current NRC decommissioning policy. NUREG-1757, Supp. 1, provides draft guidance for addressing the following LTR Analysis issues, which were explored by the NRC staff in Commission papers: restricted use and institutional controls; onsite disposal of radioactive materials; scenario justification based on reasonably foreseeable land use; intentional mixing of contaminated soil; and removal of material after license termination. It also provides new and revised guidance to address several other issues. This draft is published for public comment. Please submit comments by December 30, 2005.
