(a) The term of the specific license is for a fixed term not to exceed ten (10) years.
(b) Expiration of the specific license does not relieve the licensee of the requirements of the Act, these rules, or existing license conditions.
(c) All license provisions continue in effect beyond the expiration date with respect to possession of licensed material until the Department notifies the former licensee in writing that the provisions of the license are no longer binding. During this time, the former licensee must: - (i) Limit actions involving radioactive material to strictly decommissioning related activities; and
- (ii) Continue to control entry to restricted areas until the location(s) is suitable for release for unrestricted use or for release for long-term care and maintenance.
(d) A licensee shall notify the Department, in writing to request the termination of the license within seven (7) days from when the licensee decides to terminate all licensed activities. This notification and request for termination of the license shall include the reports on decommissioning and reclamation activities as required by this Chapter.
(e) No less than thirty (30) days before the expiration date specified in the license, the licensee shall either: - (i) Submit an application for license renewal; or
- (ii) Notify the Department, in writing, if the licensee decides not to renew the license.
(f) If a licensee does not submit a notification for a license renewal under Section 13 of this Chapter the licensee shall, on or before the expiration date specified in the license: - (i) Terminate use of licensed material;
- (ii) Remove radioactive contamination to the extent practicable;
- (iii) Properly dispose of the licensed material;
- (iv) Submit a completed Department Form URP-314 or equivalent; and
- (v) Conduct a radiation survey of the premises where the licensed activities were carried out and submit a report of the results of this survey, unless the licensee demonstrates in some other manner that the premises are suitable for release in accordance with the criteria for decommissioning in this Chapter or the requirements in Criterion 6(6) of 10 C.F.R. Part 40, Appendix A. The licensee shall:
- (A) Report levels of radioactivity, including alpha and beta in units of µCi per 100cm2 removable and fixed for surfaces, µCi per milliliter for water, and pCi per gram for solids such as soils or concrete; and report levels of gamma radiation in units of microroentgen per hour at one meter from the surface.
- (B) Specify the instrumentation used and certify that each instrument was properly calibrated and tested.
- (C) If no residual radioactivity attributable to activities conducted under the license is detected or detectable residual radioactivity is below release criteria found in this Chapter, 10 C.F.R. 40 Appendix A, the licensee shall certify in writing that no detectable radioactivity contamination was found or it was below release criteria (Department Form URP-314 or equivalent). The Department will notify the licensee, in writing, of the termination of the license.
- (D) If detectable levels of residual radioactive contamination attributable to activities conducted under the license are found above release criteria, the license continues in effect beyond the expiration date, if necessary, with respect to possession of residual radioactivity or radioactive material present as contamination until the Department notifies the licensee in writing that the license is terminated. During this time the licensee is subject to the provisions of subsection (c) of this section.
(g) In addition to the information provided in subsection (f) of this Section, the licensee shall submit a plan for decontamination within twelve (12) months after the time of license expiration, contemplating for the residual radioactivity remaining at the time the license expires.
