APPENDIX B<br />

Conclusion<br />

3.10.7.2. Plans for sites containing or suspected to contain only 91b Materials shall be<br />

submitted to the Directorate of Nuclear Surety of the Air Force Safety Agency (AFSC/SEW),<br />

Kirtland AFB, NM.<br />

3.10.7.3. Plans for site containing or suspected to contain Byproduct, Source, or Special<br />

Nuclear Material as defined in Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 30, 40, and<br />

70 shall be submitted to the RIC Secretariat (AFMOA/SGOR) for review.<br />

3.10.7.4. Plans for site containing or suspected to contain Naturally Occurring and<br />

Accelerator Produced Radioactive Materials shall be submitted to the RIC Secretariat<br />

(AFMOA/SGOR) for review.<br />

3.10.7.5. Sites containing or suspected to contain mixtures of the above types of materials or<br />

must be handled on a case-by-case basis. Contact AFSC/SEW and/or AFMOA/SGOR for<br />

guidance on sites containing mixtures of the above types of materials.<br />

3.10.7.6. If, during the course of remediation, a site is found to contain NRC Regulated or<br />

Naturally Occurring and Accelerator Produced Radioactive Materials where they were not<br />

expected, work must stop and the Installation RSO must immediately notify AFMOA/SGOR.<br />

The project manager will then be required to submit the remediation plan to<br />

AFMOA/SGOR.‖<br />

Based on the policy and instructions of the Air Force and under the authority granted to them by the NRC<br />

in the Air Force Master Materials License, it appears that the Air Force self-regulates remediation of<br />

radioactive materials/constituents at their bases. Further, it appears that the NRC has relinquished<br />

regulatory authority and, therefore, the NRC and NMED do not have any regulatory authority over the<br />

remediation of radioactive materials/constituents at the Kirtland Air Force Base. However, the Multi-<br />

Agency Radiation Survey and Site Investigation Manual (MARSSIM) is still endorsed by the Department<br />

of Defense for planning, performing, and assessing building surface and surface soil to meet established<br />

dose or risk-based release (i.e., radioactive cleanup) criteria.<br />
