Denver, Colorado 80246-1530 

Dear Mr. Tarlton: 

We have reviewed the final revisions to the Colorado Rules and Regulations Pertaining to 

Radiation Control, 6 CCR 1007-1, Part 1, General Provisions, Part 3, Licensing of Radioactive 

Material, and Part 18, Licensing Requirements for Uranium and Thorium Processing which 

became effective on April 30, 2011, received by our office on April 13, 2011, on April 27, 2011, 

and on April 29, 2011, respectively. 

These regulations were reviewed by comparison to the equivalent Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) rules in 10 CFR Part 40 and the requirements of the three amendments 

identified in the enclosed State Regulation Status (SRS) Data Sheet. We discussed our review 

of the regulations with James Jarvis on October 6, 2011. 

As a result of our review, we have 28 comments that have been identified in the enclosure. 

Please note that we have limited our review to regulations required for compatibility and/or 

health and safety. We have determined that if these regulations are revised, incorporating our 

comments and without other significant change, they would meet the compatibility and health 

and safety categories established in the Office of Federal and State Materials and 

Environmental Management Programs (FSME) Procedure SA-200. 

We request that when you revise your regulations to address our comments, a copy of the Aas 

published@ regulations be provided to us for review. As requested in FSME Procedure SA-201, 

AReview of State Regulatory Requirements,@ please highlight the location of any changes made 

by Colorado, in response to our comments, and provide a copy to Division of Materials Safety 

and State Agreements, FSME. 

The SRS Data Sheet summarizes our knowledge of the status of other Colorado regulations, as 

indicated. Please let us know if you note any inaccuracies, or have any comments on the 

information contained in the SRS Data Sheet. This letter, including the SRS Data Sheet, is 

posted on the FSME website: http://nrc-stp.ornl.gov/rulemaking.html.

If you have any questions regarding the comments, the compatibility and health and safety 

categories, or any of the NRC regulations used in the review, please contact Kathleen 

Schneider State Regulation Review Coordinator at 301-415-2320 (kathleen.schneider@nrc.gov) 

or Stephen Poy at 301-415-7135 (stephen.poy@nrc.gov).

17 18.1.5 §40.2 N/A Scope

In Section 18.1.5, it states, “The 

regulation of uranium in-situ leach 

mining (in situ recovery), as defined in 

section 34-32-103, CRS., involves the 

Department of Natural Resources, 

Division of Reclamation, Mining and 

Safety or their successor. The 

requirements of that agency may, due 

to the use of terms-of-art and other 
STATE SECTION NRC SECTION RATS ID CATEGORY SUBJECT and COMMENTS 

technical words, phrases and 

definitions, be interpreted 

inconsistently or be held in conflict 

with the department’s requirements. 

The Department will coordinate with 

that agency to the maximum extent 

practicable to resolve any such 

conflicts or inconsistencies. An 

applicant or licensee that identifies 

such inconsistency or conflict shall 

provide that information to both 

agencies for resolution.” 

This regulation as written indicates 

that there is a potential overlap 

between two Colorado agencies 

which could result in a duplication of 

regulatory efforts to be resolved. 

Colorado should revise this provision 

to reflect that Department of Natural 

Resources, Division of Reclamation, 

Mining and Safety or their successor 

is not implementing any Atomic 

Energy Act regulatory authority under 

the 274b Agreement. 

However, if it is the State of 

Colorado’s intention that Department 

of Natural Resources, Division of 

Reclamation, Mining and Safety or 

their successor be part of the 

Colorado radiation control program, 

Colorado should inform NRC of this 

change of Section 274b program 

implementation so that the 

Department of Natural Resources, 

Division of Reclamation, Mining and 

Safety program can be incorporated 

into the NRC’s Integrated Material 

Performance Evaluation Program. 

Colorado needs to either clarify 

Section 18.1.5 that the Department 

has the responsibility for 

implementing the regulatory authority 

of 11e.2 byproduct material program 

under the Section 274b Agreement or 

inform NRC that the Department of 

Natural Resources, Division of 
STATE SECTION NRC SECTION RATS ID CATEGORY SUBJECT and COMMENTS 

Reclamation, Mining and Safety is 

now part of the Colorado’s Radiation 

Control Program under the Section 

274b Agreement with NRC. 

18 18.1.3 §40.2a N/A A Coverage of inactive tailings sites 

In Section 18.1.3, Colorado needs to 

delete the last phrase in the second 

sentence, “unless that program fails 

to accomplish remedial action” 

because it is inconsistent the authority 

that Colorado has under their 274b 

agreement. 

Colorado needs to make the above 

change in order to meet the

However, this term is not defined in

used 10 CFR 40 includes monitoring 

or other surveillance that cannot be 

performed visually. This definition as

Criteria, 

Criterion 10 

N/A C Appendix A, II. Financial Criteria, 

Criterion 10 

In Section 3.9.5.10 (4), Colorado’s 

regulations states, “The amount of 

funds to be provided by such longterm care warranties shall be based 

on Department-approved cost 

estimates and shall be enough that 

with an assumed six percent annual 

real interest rate, the annual interest 

earnings will be sufficient to cover to 

the annual costs of site surveillance 

by the Department, including 

reasonable administrative costs 

incurred by the Department, in 
STATE SECTION NRC SECTION RATS ID CATEGORY SUBJECT and COMMENTS 

perpetuity, subsequent to the 

termination of the license.” In NRC’s 

equivalent requirements in Criterion 

10 states “...with an assumed 1 

percent annual real interest rate...” 

The assumption of six percent in the 

above statement underestimates the 

amount of funds set aside for long 

term care creating a situation of 

having insufficient funds to cover the 

costs of surveillance. This is least 

restrictive than the NRC requirements 

in Criterion 10 and should be revised 

to address the essential objective of 

this requirement. 

Also, the regulation states that the 

Department would be responsible for 

site surveillance. Colorado has stated 

recently that the Department of 

Energy would be responsible for site 

surveillance. As written, this option is 

not an option under the Colorado 

regulations. 

Colorado needs to adopt the above 

changes in order to meet the
