Section 144-220-N-24 - Record keeping requirements for site reclamationEach licensee shall keep records of information important to the safe and effective reclamation of a facility in an identified location until the license is terminated by the Agency. If records of relevant information are maintained for other purposes, reference to these records and their locations may be used. For purposes of N.24, reclaiming6 shall mean returning property to a condition or state such that the property no longer presents a health or safety hazard or threat to the environment. Information the Agency considers important to reclaiming includes:
A. Records of spills or other unusual occurrences involving the spread of contamination in and around the facility, equipment or site. These records may be limited to instances when contamination remains after any cleanup procedures or when there is reasonable likelihood that contaminants may have spread to inaccessible areas as in the case of possible seepage into porous materials such as concrete. These records must include any known information on identification of involved radionuclides, quantities, forms and concentrations.B. As-built drawings and modifications 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.C. If required by N.26, records of this reclaiming cost estimate prepared for the amount approved by the Agency for reclaiming. 6For purposes of N.24, the term "reclaiming" includes but is not limited to those activities necessary to decommission the licensed facility, i.e., to remove (as a facility) safely from service and reduce residual radioactivity to a level that permits release of the property for unrestricted use and termination of license.
