Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) Each person granted a specific license
						pursuant to Group 2 of this Subchapter shall keep records of information important
						to the decommissioning of a facility in an identified location until the site is
						released for unrestricted use by the Department. Before licensed activities are
						transferred or assigned in accordance with 30194(c), licensees shall transfer all
						records described in this section to the new licensee. In this case, the new
						licensee shall be responsible for maintaining these records until the license is
						terminated. If records important to the decommissioning of a facility are kept for
						other purposes, reference to these records and their locations may be used. The
						records shall include the following information important to decommissioning:
(1) Records of spills or other unusual occurrences
						involving the spread of contamination in and around the facility, equipment, or
						site. These records shall include but not be limited to a description of any
						instances when contamination remains after any cleanup procedures or when there is
						reasonable likelihood that contaminants may have spread to inaccessible areas, as
						for example, possible seepage into porous materials such as concrete. These records
						shall include any known information on identification of involved nuclides,
						quantities, forms, and concentrations.
(2) As-built drawings and modification drawings of
						structures and equipment in restricted areas where radioactive materials are used or
						stored, and of locations of possible inaccessible contamination such as buried pipes
						which may be subject to contamination. If required drawings are referenced, each
						relevant document need not be indexed individually. If drawings are not available,
						the licensee shall substitute appropriate records of available information
						concerning these areas and locations.
(3) Except for areas containing only sealed
						sources (provided the sources have not leaked or no contamination remains after any
						leak) or any radioactive materials having only half-lives of less than 65 days, a
						list contained in a single document and updated every 2 years, of the following:
(A) All areas designated and formerly designated
						restricted areas as defined in Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, Section
						20.1003 incorporated by reference
						pursuant to Title 17, California Code of Regulations, Section
						30253;
(B) All areas outside restricted areas that
						require documentation under (a)(1);
(C)
						All areas outside of restricted areas where current and previous wastes have been
						buried as documented under Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, Section
						20.2108 incorporated by reference
						pursuant to Title 17, California Code of Regulations, Section
						30253; and
(D) All areas outside of restricted areas which
						contain material such that, if the license expired, the licensee would be required
						to either decontaminate the area to unrestricted release levels or apply for
						approval for disposal under Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, Section
						20.2002 incorporated by reference
						pursuant to Title 17, California Code of Regulations, Section
						30253.
(4) Records of the cost estimate performed for the
						decommissioning funding plan or of the amount certified for decommissioning, and
						records of the funding method used for assuring funds if either a funding plan or
						certification is used pursuant to Section
						30195.1.
