2.2.2 Current Radiological Status of the Facility
DEcoMMSSIONIPLANS
The licensee should discuss the types and quantities (curies) of radioactivity
remaining at the facility at the time the DP was wiiten. The reviewer should
confirm that the information in this section is based on the ficility history, surveys,
calculations, and sampling performed to characterize the facity, including
radioactive decay effects and any cleanup or deco ination tasks already
completed. The licensee should discuss in detail the location of the radioactive
materials and should explain the methods for analyzing the potential radiation
exposure rates and doses to plant workers during surveillance, dismantlement,
decontamination, packaging, and transportation.
For most materials, the thermal neutron fluences and absorption cross-sectionsshould
be used. However, the fist neutron 'exposures are important for some
isotopes, and appropriate predictions should be included. In all cases, the
individual isotopes and radionuclides of significance should be discussed. In some
cases, these radionuclides may be beta emitters that have less of an impact on
radiological safety than gamma emitters, but may be significant in terms of total
curies of radioactive material. Because the origin of materials may influence the
types and quantities of impurities, the reviewer should compare the discussion to
DPs and decommissioning reports for similar reactors. Manion and LaGuardia
(1980) discuss probable radionuclides.
2.2.3 Release Criteria
The licensee should state which release criteria will be applied to the
decommissioning project. The reviewer should ensure that the criteria used
conform with current guidance and should verify that the criteria have been
factored into the planning of decommissioning activities and tasks as the m um
end point of decommission activities. Ii the terminiation survey, the licensee
should show that the release criteria have bemetn -:

23.1 Activities and Tasks
The licensee should list the activities andtasks requied to prepare the ite and
facility for dismantlement and decontamination. The reviewer should 6onfilm that
plans have bee made for removing the following components:
