| (a) The criteria in this subchapter apply to the decommissioning of facilities regulated under Subchapter F of this chapter (relating to Licensing of Alternative Methods of Disposal of Radioactive Material), the inactive disposal sites regulated under this subchapter, the ancillary surface facilities that support low-level radioactive waste disposal activities at facilities licensed under Subchapter H of this chapter (relating to Licensing Requirements for Near-Surface Land Disposal of Low-Level Radioactive Waste) , naturally occurring radioactive material waste disposal facilities licensed under Subchapter K of this chapter (relating to Commercial Disposal of Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material Waste from Public Water Systems), and to radioactive substances processing and storage facilities licensed under Subchapter M of this chapter (relating to Licensing of Radioactive Substances Processing and Storage Facilities). (b) This subchapter also establishes the criteria under which a facility may be licensed for decommissioning. (c) After a site has been decommissioned and the license terminated in accordance with the criteria in this subchapter, the commission may require additional cleanup only if, based on new information, it determines that the criteria of this subchapter have not been met and residual radioactivity remaining at the site could result in significant threat to public health and safety. (d) When calculating the total effective dose equivalent (TEDE) to the average member of the critical group, the licensee shall determine the peak annual TEDE expected within the first 1,000 years after decommissioning. |
