Additional Information: December 5, 2007 (ML073400154), 

January 11, 2008 

(ML080150374).

Up to approximately 20,000 

tons of radioactively contaminated material from nuclear facility operations; consisting of contaminated metals, graphite, dry activity material (e.g., wood, paper, and 

plastic), liquids (e.g., aqueous and organic-based 

fluids), and ion exchange 

resins (treated and untreated).

Total volume estimated to be 

approximately 1,000,000 

cubic feet. Quantities, types 

and combinations of radioactive contaminants will vary 

depending on material, but 

at no time will they exceed 

importer’s possession limits. 

The cumulative total quantity 

for each type of contaminant 

over the duration of the import license will not exceed 5 

kilograms (kg) special nuclear material; 1.0 x 106 kg 

natural/depleted uranium; 20 

TBq transuranics (except 

Pu); and 600 TBq of all 

other radionuclides.

Contaminated materials are to 

be inspected, sorted and 

processed at applicant’s facilities in and licensed by the 

State of Tennessee for recycle and beneficial reuse 

and/or disposal of as radioactive waste (pending conformity with waste acceptance criteria) at a Clive, 

Utah disposal facility licensed by the State of Utah. 

Materials that meet domestic 

license conditions for unrestricted release may be released. Nonconforming materials would be returned to 

the generator (see associated export license application XW013).

Regulatory Guide 1.176.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission 

(NRC) is withdrawing Regulatory Guide 

(RG) 1.176, ‘‘An Approach for PlantSpecific, Risk-Informed 

Decisionmaking: Graded Quality 

Assurance,’’ which was published in 

August 1998, but has been superseded 

by subsequent rulemaking. 

In November 2004, the NRC 

promulgated Title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (10 CFR) section 

50.69, ‘‘Risk-informed categorization 

and treatment of structures, systems, 

and components for nuclear power 

reactors,’’ (69 FR 68008) to permit 

power reactor licensees and license 

applicants to implement an alternative 

regulatory framework with respect to 

‘‘special treatment,’’ where special 

treatment refers to those requirements 

that provides increased quality 

assurance beyond normal industrial 

practices that structures, systems, and 

components (SSCs) perform their 

design-basis functions. In support of 10 

CFR 50.69, the staff issued RG 1.201, 

‘‘Guidelines for Categorizing Structures, 

Systems and Components in Nuclear 

Power Plants According to Their Safety 

Significance,’’ in January 2006 for trial 

use. This new framework, consisting of 

the rule along with RG 1.201, has made 

the guidance in RG 1.176 obsolete. 

II. Further Information 

The withdrawal of RG 1.176 does not, 

in and of itself, alter any prior or 

existing licensing commitments based 

on its use. The current version of RG 

1.176 represents a method that is no 

longer acceptable to the staff. RGs may 

be withdrawn when their guidance is 

superseded by congressional action, the 

methods or techniques described in the 

RG no longer describe an acceptable 

approach, or the RG does not provide 

useful information. 

RGs are available for inspection or 

downloading through the NRC’s public 

Web site under ‘‘Regulatory Guides’’

collection in the NRC’s Electronic 

Reading Room at http://www.nrc.gov/ 

reading-rm/doc-collections. RGs are also 

available for inspection at the NRC’s 

Public Document Room (PDR), Room 

O–1F21, One White Flint North, 11555 

Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland 

20852–2738. The PDR’s mailing address 

is U.S. NRC PDR, Washington, DC 

20555–0001. The PDR staff can be 

reached by telephone at 301–415–4737 

or 800–397–4209, by fax at 301–415–

3548, and by e-mail to pdr@nrc.gov.

approval is not required to reproduce 

them.
