DHS 157.13(11)(k)(k) The department may approve a request for an alternative schedule for completion of decommissioning of the site, separate building or outdoor area, and license termination if appropriate, if the department determines that the alternative is warranted after consideration of all the following: DHS 157.13(11)(k)1.1. Whether it is technically feasible to complete decommissioning within the allotted 24-month period. DHS 157.13(11)(k)2.2. Whether sufficient waste disposal capacity is available to allow completion of decommissioning within the allotted 24-month period. DHS 157.13(11)(k)3.3. Whether a significant volume reduction in wastes requiring disposal will be achieved by allowing short-lived radionuclides to decay. DHS 157.13(11)(k)4.4. Whether a significant reduction in radiation exposure to workers may be achieved by allowing short-lived radionuclides to decay. DHS 157.13(11)(k)5.5. Other site-specific factors which the department may consider appropriate on a case-by-case basis, such as the regulatory requirements of other government agencies, court decisions, ground-water treatment activities, monitored natural ground-water restoration, actions that could result in more environmental harm than deferred cleanup, and other factors beyond the control of the licensee. DHS 157.13(11)(L)(L) As the final step in decommissioning, a licensee shall do all the following: DHS 157.13(11)(L)1.1. Certify the disposition of all licensed material, including accumulated wastes, by submitting a completed department form for disposition of radioactive materials or equivalent information. DHS 157.13 NoteNote: The form may be obtained by writing the Department at: Department of Health Services, Radiation Protection Section, PO Box 2659, Madison WI 53701-2659; or by downloading from the Department website at: http://dhs.wisconsin.gov/radiation/Index.htm. DHS 157.13(11)(L)2.2. 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 s. DHS 157.33. DHS 157.13(11)(L)3.3. Report levels of gamma radiation in units of millisieverts (microroentgen) per hour at one meter from surfaces, and report levels of radioactivity, including alpha and beta, in units of megabecquerels per 100 square centimeters, disintegrations per minute per 100 square centimeters or microcuries per 100 square centimeters — removable and fixed — for surfaces, megabecquerels (microcuries) per milliliter for water, and becquerels (picocuries) per gram for solids such as soils or concrete. DHS 157.13(11)(L)4.4. Specify the survey instruments used and certify that each instrument is properly calibrated and tested. DHS 157.13 NoteNote: Submit reports to the Department at: Department of Health Services, Radiation Protection Section, P.O. Box 2659, Madison WI 53701-2659.
DHS 157.13(11)(m)(m) The department shall terminate a specific license, including an expired license, by written notice to the licensee when the department determines all of the following have occurred: DHS 157.13(11)(m)2.2. Reasonable effort has been made to eliminate residual radioactive contamination, if present. DHS 157.13(11)(m)3.3. The licensee has filed with the department sufficient information, including a radiation survey, to demonstrate that the premises are suitable for release in accordance with the criteria for decommissioning in s. DHS 157.33. DHS 157.13(12)(a)(a) An application for renewal of a specific license shall be filed under sub. (1). DHS 157.13(12)(b)(b) If a licensee, not less than 30 days prior to expiration of his or her existing license, has filed an application in proper form for renewal or for a new license authorizing the same activities, the license may not expire until final action by the department. DHS 157.13 NoteNote: A license renewal form may be obtained by writing the Department at: Department of Health Services, Radiation Protection Section, P.O. Box 2659, Madison WI 53701-2659; or by downloading from the Department website at: http://dhs.wisconsin.gov/radiation/Index.htm. DHS 157.13(13)(13) Amendment of licenses at request of licensee. An application for amendment of a license shall be filed under sub. (1) and shall specify the respects in which the licensee desires the license to be amended and the grounds for the amendment. The licensee shall include the appropriate fee specified in s. DHS 157.10 (3) with the amendment application. DHS 157.13 NoteNote: A specific license application form is not required for an amendment request.
