facility. Such notations as "not detected" are not acceptable. Instead, the licensee
should propose quantitative measurements and scientifically derived, valid limits of
eror. The reviewer should 'aluate stafistical inferences to locations not directly
measured and should compare them to accepted methods.
At non-power reactors; radioactive material may exist in two forms. The material
may be surface or absorbed contamination or neutron-irradiated material
distributed within the body of a coinponent. In the DP, the licensee should address
reducing both sources of radiation. Guidance for surface contaminaton levels can
be found in Regulatory Guide'1.86, Table 1. Current NRC criteria for'release of
non-power reactor facilities for unrestricted use are discussed in Section 17.1.4 of
the format and content guide. Release criteria may change with time. The
reviewer should verify that the guidance given in the format and content guide is
current and that the licensee is using the most recent release criteria
NRC regional stiff or an NRC contractor will conduct an onsite survey to measure
and verify the radiation exposure and contamination levels. When the
requirements for release have been'satisfied, NRC will issue an order that
terminates the license and any further NRC urisdiction over the facility.
5 TEC-H MCALSPECIFICATIONS.
After the fuel is shipped off site under the facility operating license, most of the
technical specifications for the operating license should no longer apply.
Therefore, the licensee should have requested relief by applying either for a
possession-only license amendment or for authorization to dismantle and
decommission the facility. In either case, the licensee should propose a modified
set of technical specifications that contains safety controls and limitations that
ensure continuous protection of the health and safety of the puic and satisfy DP
criteria. The format of the technical specifications f decommissioning o
should
conform to the appropriate sections of ANSTIANS .15.1-1990, as discussed in
Chater 14, 'Technical Specificaitions," of the format and content guide,' and
should include the following:
a section imposing limiting decommissioning conditions at the facilihy
comparable to the limiting conditions for operation for required equipment
and operational conditions'
'a section providing for surveillance of the equipment and conditions
* a secion describing the residual defueled facility and site to which the
deconumissioning order will apply
