Section 336.621 - Recordkeeping for DecommissioningEach person licensed under this subchapter shall keep records of information important to the safe and effective decommissioning of the facility in an identified location until the license is terminated by the commission. If records of relevant information are kept for other purposes, reference to these records and their locations may be used. Information important to decommissioning consists of:
(1) records of spills or other unusual occurrences involving the spread of contamination in and around the disposal 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 nuclides, quantities, forms, and concentrations;(2) as-built drawings and modifications of structures and equipment in restricted areas where radioactive materials are disposed of and of locations of possible inaccessible contamination (e.g., buried pipes) that 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;(3) except for areas containing only radioactive materials having half-lives of less than 65 days, a list contained in a single document and updated every two years of the following: (A) all areas designated as restricted areas, as defined in § 336.2 of this title (relating to Definitions), and all areas formerly designated as restricted areas under rules in effect before January 1, 1994;(B) all areas outside of restricted areas that require documentation under paragraph (1) of this section;(C) all areas outside of restricted areas where current and previous wastes have been buried as documented under § 336.338 of this title (relating to General Recordkeeping Requirements for Disposal); and(D) all areas outside of restricted areas which contain material such that, if the license expired, the licensee must be required to decontaminate the area to unrestricted release levels; and(4) records of the cost estimate performed for the funding plan or of the amount certified for decommissioning, and records of the financial assurance mechanism used for assuring funds.30 Tex.
