eases of radioactive material at the site and previous burials at the site, even if those burials were made in accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR part 20. 10 CFR 20.1101, “Radiation Protection Programs” (a) Each licensee shall develop, document, and implement a radiation protection program commensurate with the scope and extent of licensed activities and sufficient to ensure compliance with the provisions of this part. (b) The licensee shall use, to the extent practical, procedures and engineering controls based upon sound radiation protection principles to achieve occupational doses and doses to members of the public that are as low as is reasonably achievable (ALARA). (c) The licensee shall periodically (at least annually) review the radiation protection program content and implementation. 10 CFR 20.1402, “Radiological Criteria for Unrestricted Use” A site will be considered acceptable for unrestricted use if the residual radioactivity that is distinguishable from background radiation results in a TEDE [total effective dose equivalent] to an average member of the critical group that does not exceed 25 mrem (0.25 mSv) per year, including that from groundwater sources of drinking water, and the residual radioactivity has been reduced to levels that are as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA). 10 CFR 20.1406, “Minimization of Contamination” (c) Licensees shall, to the extent practical, conduct operations to minimize the introduction of residual radioactivity into the site, including the subsurface, in accordance with existing radiation protection requirements in Subpart B and radiological criteria for license termination in Subpart E of this part. 10 CFR 20.1501, “General” (part of Subpart F, “Surveys and Monitoring”) (a) Each licensee shall make or cause to be made, surveys of areas, including the subsurface, that— (1) May be necessary for the licensee to comply with the regulations in this part; and (2) Are reasonable under the
