No. 98-137

August 3, 1998

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff has issued for public comment draft guidance on how to demonstrate compliance with radiation levels permitted for license termination after a nuclear facility permanently shuts down.

The Commission has authorized interim use of the draft guidance, titled "Demonstrating Compliance with the Radiological Criteria for License Termination," (DG-4006) for the next two years. A final version of the guide will then incorporate public comments and experience gained during the interim use.

Comments will be most helpful if received by August 31 of next year. Written comments may be submitted to the Rules and Directives Branch, Office of Administration, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555. Comments may also be provided via the NRC interactive rulemaking web site at http://techconf.llnl.gov/radcri/java.html.

The draft guide will be posted at the same NRC web site. Copies of the guide are also available by written request to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555, Attention: Reproduction and Distribution Services Section, or by fax to 301/415-5272.
