OSTI ID:5741824

This regulatory guide, developed in conjunction with the amendments to the regulations concerning decommissioning, would be applicable to certain licensees (discussed above in Section 1) when they decide to permanently discontinue all licensed activities involving nuclear materials. The purpose of the guide is to identify the information needed by the NRC staff for evaluations involving decommissioning. The guide also provides a format for submitting this information. Conformance with this guide is not required, but its use will facilitate preparation of a decommissioning plan by licensees and timely, uniform review by the NRC staff. A different format will be acceptable to the staff if it provides an adequate basis for approval of a decommissioning plan. The guidance is appropriate for use in license amendments to partially clean up a nuclear facility and release that part for unrestricted use at a time other than at the decommissioning of the facility as a whole, e.g., cleanup of separate buildings. The amended sections of the decommissioning rule (30.36(b), 40.42(b), 70.38(b)) require each licensee to notify the Commission promptly, in writing, and request termination of license when the licensee decides to terminate all activities involving material authorized under the license.
