This Program Plan describes a multi-year program initiated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to assess and evaluate the methods, radiation exposure and costs associated with decommissioning of retired nuclear facilities. The objective of this program is to provide the NRC licensing staff with comparative data that will allow assessment of decommissioning alternatives for regulatory and ALARA implementation of future decommissioning proposals. The program is currently limited to nuclear reactors. The program is under the supervision of the Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research through its Chemical Engineering Branch. UNC Nuclear Industries (UNC) is responsible for the technical direction of the program and for preparation of documentation and summary comparisons of evaluated projects. The Department of Energy - Richland Operations Office, serves as an interfacing agency between NRC and UNC to provide administration of NRC funding to UNC to perform the work. Licensees currently deommissioning a facility or licensees who are planning decommissioning projects will be solicited for inclusion in the program. An analysis will be performed for each project and will include a comparison of the methods, costs and exposure usage with data contained in generic decommissioning studies.
