  restrictions on site use according to the provisions of 180 NAC
  4-017 in minimizing exposures at the
  site;
(C) Reduce doses to as low as

(D) Have
  submitted a decommissioning plan to the Department indicating the licensee's
  intent to decommission in accordance with 180 NAC
  3-019.04 and specifying that the
  licensee proposes to decommission by use of alternate criteria. The licensee
  must document in the decommissioning plan how the advice of individuals and
  institutions in the community who may be affected by the decommissioning has
  been sought and addressed, as appropriate, following analysis of that advice.
  In seeking such advice, the licensee must provide for:

  provided sufficient financial assurance in the form of a trust fund to enable
  an independent third party, including a governmental custodian of a site, to
  assume and carry out responsibilities for any necessary control and maintenance
  of the site.
