Illinois Administrative Code › Title 32 - ENERGY › Part 330 - LICENSING OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL › Subpart C - SPECIFIC AND GENERAL LICENSES › Section 330.325 - Termination Requirements for Specific Licenses and Locations of Use

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) To lawfully
				obtain termination of a specific license or a location of use, each licensee
				shall meet the requirements of this Section no later than the end of the
				expiration date on the specific license or on any applicable amendment to the
				specific license unless the licensee has filed an application for renewal in
				accordance with Section
				330.320(a)
				of this Part prior to the expiration date.
AGENCY NOTE: If the licensee has filed a renewal application
				  in accordance with Section
				  330.320(a)
				  of this Part and the Agency subsequently denies the application, the Agency
				  shall, in an order issued to the licensee in accordance with the Act, the
				  Illinois Administrative Procedure Act [5 ILCS 100 ] and 32 Ill. Adm. Code 200,
				  specify the time by which the licensee must meet the requirements of this
				  Section.
b) Requirements
				for Obtaining Termination of a Specific License, Removal of a Site or Location
				of Use from a Specific License
1) The licensee
				shall:
A) Cease use of radioactive
				material;
B) Remove radioactive
				contamination to levels considered acceptable for unrestricted use. A site will
				be considered acceptable for unrestricted use when:
i) Radioactive contamination is removed to
				levels outlined in 32 Ill. Adm. Code 340.Appendix A; or
ii) The residual radioactivity, excluding
				radon, thoron and their progeny, that is distinguishable from background
				radiation does not result in a total effective dose equivalent (TDE) to an
				average member of the critical group that exceeds 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). Determination of the levels that are ALARA must take into
				account consideration of any detriments, such as deaths from transportation
				accidents, expected to potentially result from decontamination and waste
				disposal;
C) Properly
				transfer and/or dispose of radioactive material;
D) Submit a completed Agency Form KLM.007
				(Certificate Termination and Disposition of Radioactive Material) or provide
				equivalent information;
E) For
				licensees authorized to possess sealed sources, submit evidence of transfer
				and/or disposal of all sealed sources authorized on the license and a copy of
				the most recent leak test; and
F)
				For licensees authorized to possess radioactive material in forms other than
				sealed sources, submit a radiation survey report to confirm the absence of
				radioactive materials or to establish the levels of residual radioactive
				contamination, unless the licensee demonstrates the absence of residual
				radioactive contamination in some other manner. The radiation survey report
				shall specify the date of the survey and the instrumentation used and shall
				certify that each instrument was properly calibrated and tested. The licensee
				shall, as applicable, report levels or quantities of:
i) Beta and gamma radiation at 1 centimeter
				from surfaces in units, multiples, or subunits of Sieverts or rem per
				hour;
ii) Gamma radiation at 1
				meter from surfaces in units, multiples, or subunits of Sieverts or rem per
				hour;
iii) Removable radioactivity
				on surfaces in units, multiples, or subunits of Becquerels or Curies per 100
				square centimeters of surface area, or in disintegrations (transformations) per
				minute per 100 square centimeters of surface area;
iv) Fixed radioactivity on surfaces in units,
				multiples, or subunits of Becquerels or Curies per 100 square centimeters of
				surface areas or in disintegrations (transformations) per minute per 100 square
				centimeters of surface area;
v)
				Radioactivity in contaminated liquids, such as water, oils or solvents, in
				units, multiples, or subunits of Becquerels or Curies per milliliter of volume;
				and
vi) Radioactivity in
				contaminated solids, such as soils or concrete, in units, multiples, or
				subunits of Becquerels or Curies per gram of solid.
