NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION 

WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 

September 16, 2016 

Mr. Earl Fordham, Deputy Director 

Office of Radiation Protection 

Washington Department of Health 

P.O. Box 47827 

Olympia, WA 98504-7827 

Dear Mr. Fordham: 

We have reviewed the proposed revisions to the Washington Radiological Health Rules, 

received by our office on August 16, 2016. These regulations were reviewed by comparison to 

the equivalent U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) rules and the requirements of 

Regulation Amendment Tracking System Identification Numbers (RATS IDs) 2015-3 and 2015-5 

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

review of the regulations with Curt Demaris on September 15, 2016. 

As a result of our review, we have eight 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. Under our current procedure, a finding that the Washington regulations meet 

the compatibility and health and safety categories of the equivalent NRC regulation may only be 

made based on a review of the final Washington regulations. However, we have determined 

that if your proposed regulations were adopted, incorporating our comments and without other 

significant change, they would meet the compatibility and health and safety categories 

established in the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards (NMSS) Procedure SA-200, 

“Compatibility Categories and Health and Safety Identification for NRC Regulations and Other

Program Elements.” 

We request that when the proposed regulations are adopted and published as final regulations, 

a copy of the “as published” regulations be provided to us for review. As requested in NMSS 

Procedure SA-201, “Review of State Regulatory Requirements,” please highlight the final 

changes, and provide a copy to Division of Material Safety, State, Tribal, and Rulemaking 

Programs, NMSS. 

The SRS Data Sheet summarizes our knowledge of the status of other Washington 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 NMSS State Communication Portal: https://scp.nrc.gov/rulemaking.html.

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

STATE SECTION NRC SECTION RATS ID CATEGORY SUBJECT and COMMENTS 

1 246-231-

010(9) 

71.4 2015-3 [B] Definition: Contamination 

Washington’s proposed definition of 

“contamination” states:

“Contamination means the presence 

of a radioactive substance on a 

surface in quantities in excess of 0.4 

Bq/cm2 (1x10-5 μCi/cm2) for beta and 

gamma emitters and low toxicity 

alpha emitters, or 0.04 Bq/cm2

(1.10x10-6 μCi/cm2) for all other alpha 

emitters”. 10 CFR 71.4 states “1x 10-

6”. 

Washington needs to correct their 

definition of “contamination” as 

indicated above in order to meet the 

Compatibility Category [B] 

designation assigned to 10 CFR 71.4.

010(18) 

71.4 2015-3 [B] Definition: Low Specific Activity 

(LSA) material 

Washington’s proposed definition of 

“Low Specific Activity material” state: 

“(a) LSA-I. 

(i) Uranium and thorium ores, 

concentrates of uranium 

and thorium ores, and 

other ores containing 

naturally occurring 

radionuclides that are not 

intended to be processed 

for the use of these 

radionuclides; or”. 

10 CFR 71.4 states, “...are intended 

to be processed for the use of these 

radionuclides;”. 

Washington needs to delete the 

words “not” and “or” in their definition 

of “Low Specific Activity materials” as 

indicated above in order to meet the 

Compatibility Category [B] 

designation assigned to 10 CFR 71.4. 

3 246-231-040 

(4) 

71.14(a)(1) – 

(a)(3) 

2015-3 [B] Exemption for low-level materials 

Washington’s regulations do not 

reference Table A-3. 

Washington needs to include a 

reference to Table A-3 in order to 

meet the Compatibility Category [B] 

designation assigned to 10 CFR 

71.14(a)(1) – (a)(3). 

4 246-231-136 

(1)(a) 

71.91(b) 2015-3 NRC Reports 

Washington’s regulations include this

STATE SECTION NRC SECTION RATS ID CATEGORY SUBJECT and COMMENTS 

requirement. As 10 CFR 71.91(b) is 

reserved to the NRC, it should not be 

adopted by the States. 

Washington needs to delete this 

requirement from their regulations in 

order to meet the Compatibllity 

Category NRC designation assigned 

to 10 CFR 71.91(b). 

5 246-231-136 

(3) 

71.91(c) and (d) 2015-3 C Records 

Washington’s proposed regulation 

does not include having records 

required by this part available for 

inspection to their department in 

addition to the NRC. 

Washington needs to include their 

department as indicated above in 

246-231-136 (3), in order to meet the 

Compatibility Category C designation 

assigned to 10 CFR 71.91(c) and (d).

6 246-231-200 

Appendix A 

Part 71 

Appendix A 

2015-3 [B] Determination of A1 and A2 

Washington’s proposed regulations in 

Section 246-231-200 (4)(d) and (e) 

state: 

“...where f(i) is the fraction of activity 

for radionuclide I in the mixture and 

A1 . A2(i) is the appropriate A1 , A2 for 

radionuclide I”. 10 CFR 71, Appendix 

A, has a lower case “i” in both of 

those places. 

Washington needs to correct both 

4(d) and (e) as indicated above in 

order to meet the Compatibility 

Category [B] designation assigned to 

10 CFR 71, Appendix A.

Table A-1 

Part 71, 

Appendix A 

Table A-1 

2015-3 [B] A1 and A2 Values for 

Radionuclides 

Washington’s proposed regulations in 

Table A-1 contain the following errors: 

a. For Cf-252 the A1(TBq) value 

should be 1.0x10-1, not 1.0x10, 

and the A2 (Ci) value should be 

8.1x10-2, not 8.1x10; 

b. For Kr-79, the A1(Ci) value should 

be 1.1x102 , not 1.0x102, and the 

TBq/g value should be 4.2x104, 

not 4.2x101

c. Does not contain the footnote: 

“h A2 = 0.74 TBq (20 Ci) for Mo-99 

for domestic use”. 

Washington needs to make the 

corrections to Table A-1 as indicated 

above in order to meet the 

Compatibility Category [B] 

designation assigned to 10 CFR 71, 

Appendix A, Table A-1. 

8 246-231-200 

Table A-3 

Part 71 

Appendix A 

Table A-3 

2015-3 [B] General Values for A1 and A2 

Washington’s proposed regulations in 

Table A-3 omit the footnote notation 

(i.e., “a”) in the “Contents” column, 

first row. 

Washington needs to add the footnote 

notation as noted above in order to 

meet the Compatibility Category [B] 

designation assigned to 10 CFR 71, 

Appendix A, Table A-3. 

EDITORIAL/TYPOGRAPHICAL COMMENTS 

 ON WASHINGTON PROPOSED REGULATIONS 

246-231-010(18) 71.4 2015-3 Definition-Low Specific 

Activity Material 

WA regulations (2)(ii) state : 

“activity does not exceed 1E-4 

A2/g for solids and gases, and 
5 

1E-5 A2/g for liquids” 

regulations state: “activity does 

not exceed 10−4 A2/g for solids 

and gases, and 10−5 A2/g for 

liquids.” 

Although the quantity is the 

same, the format is inconsistent 

from NRC regulations and 

throughout Washington’s 

regulations as well. 

Washington omits the word “of” 

in its equivalent regulation to 

71.4(3).

246-231-040(4) 71.14 (a)(1) – (a) (3) 2015-3 Exemption for low-level 

materials 

Washington’s regulations say 

“concentrations”; should say 

“concentration”; they also say 

“purposed”, should say 

“purposes”. 

246-231 Part 71 2015-3 Washington does not capitalize 

the term “Certificate of 

Compliance” throughout their 

equivalent regulations to Part 

71. 

Washington should capitalize 

the term “Certificate of 

Compliance” where applicable. 

Washington’s regulations 

interchange the use of the term 

“licensee” and “certificate 

holder” in 246-231-106. 

Washington should use one 

term consistently throughout its 

regulations. 

246-231-150(1) 71,101(a) 2015-3 Quality assurance 

requirements 

Washington’s regulations in 
6 

150(1) say “apply”, should say 

“applying”. 

Washington’s regulations say 

“subpart” however they are by 

chapters. Washington should 

use the term “chapter” to be 

consistent with the format of 

their regulations. 

246-231-174 71.106 2015-3 Changes to quality assurance 

program 

In Washington’s equivalent 

regulations to 71.106(b)(2), they 

say “tittles”, should say “title”.
