About this file
This document outlines a proposed framework for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to provide support services to the Department of the Navy and Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program for the dismantlement and disposal of the Surface Ship Support Barge. Key details include:
The NRC would review planning documents, procedures, and work plans developed by the Navy's contractor. The NRC would also conduct onsite inspections, review final radiological surveys, and evaluate whether conditions are suitable for unrestricted release. Throughout this process, the NRC would provide recommended actions to the Navy rather than take direct regulatory action. The Navy intends to enforce the NRC's recommendations through its contract without modification.
The estimated value of the interagency agreement between the NRC and Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program is $2 million to be obligated over five fiscal years from 2019 to 2023. The scope of work involves NRC support before, during, and after dismantlement and disposal activities are completed by the Navy's contractor.

Surface Ship Support Barge {SSSB) lnteragency Agreement for Support Services FV19 through FV23
Background
The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), in collaboration with the Naval Nuclear
Propulsion Program (NNPP), a joint Navy and Department of Energy Program, is contracting for commercial dismantlement and disposal of the Surface Ship Support
Barge (SSSB). The SSSB is a NNPP-owned floatable radiological support facility. In preparation for this contracted work, the NNPP and NRC have developed a plan for the
NRC to provide support services to the Navy and the NNPP. This plan is described in detail in the Notional Framework for SSSB Dismantlement and Disposal (the "Notional
Framework"), which was published on FBO in Solicitation #N00024-18-R-4339 on 10
August 2018, and is discussed in concept in GAO Report GAO-18-523 dated August
2018. The Navy and the NNPP intend to enforce the recommendations of the NRC by contract with the company performing dismantlement and disposal, without any addition to or subtraction from, the NRC's recommendations. The Notional Framework will be incorporated into the SSSB dismantlement and disposal contract, at which time it will no longer be notional.
Scope of Work
The scope of work for NRC services in support of SSSB dismantlement and disposal is described in the atta_ched Notional Framework, and in additional detail in the NRC presentation at the 6 November 2018 Industry Day, which is also attached. Both documents are part of this lnteragency Agreement.
The Navy's contract for SSSB dismantlement and disposal will require that the NRC have unfettered access to the SSSB and support facilities when the SSSB is present at a shore-based facility for dismantlement and disposal or related work. This lnteragency
Agreement does not cover transport of the SSSB to such facilities.
The Navy's contract for SSSB dismantlement and disposal will require that NRC have access to the contractor's detailed work schedule information in order to allow for planning of inspections and confirmatory surveys. The NRC may employ outside contractors such as Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU), Oak Ridge Institute for
Science and Education (ORISE), and the Department of Energy Radiological and
Environmental Sciences Laboratory (RESL) for independent surveys and sample analysis. Such services are also part of the Scope of Work for this lnteragency
Agreement and are also reimbursable.
Appendix A Scope of Work_89233019SNR000040
It is recognized by both parties to this Agreement that the amount of NRC work necessary to provide support for SSSB dismantlement and disposal will depend on the quality of the work planning documents (Decommissioning Plan), management programs (project, quality assurance, corrective action, radiological and other required to comply with NRC and NNPP requirements), decommissioning work packages, implementing procedures and work execution conducted by the Navy's contractor as well as specific technical approaches to the work that may be proposed by the Navy's contractor. The estimated funding discussed in this Agreement is only an estimate, and future adjustments may be needed based on the quality and performance of the Navy contractor's work. All NRC work will be reimbursed on an hourly basis.
The Navy contractor's preparation and shipment of both low-level radioactive waste and mixed waste is subject to NRC services and support in the same manner as other aspects of the contractor's radiological work associated with dismantling.
NRC services under this Agreement may include both NRC Headquarters services as well as NRC Region services depending on which NRC Region covers the locations where the contractor proposes to conduct work, as appropriate and as determined available by the NRC, including participations in public meetings.
NRC will make its inspection reports available to the public, as appropriate in consultation with the NNNP.
The exact timing of NRC services will depend on the Navy's execution of the contracting process as well as the contractor's performance. The following notional timeline is provided for planning purposes. All work under both the Navy's SSSB dismantlement and disposal contract and this lnteragency Agreement is expected to be complete by the end of FY 2023.

Obligation of Funds - Estimated funds to be obligated by NNPP for performance of this lnteragency Agreement are $2,000,000 based on the following schedule:
FY19 $25,000
FY20 $500,000
FY21 $675,000
FY22 $500,000
FY23 $300,000
Such funds obligated are provided for the efforts applicable to the subject lnteragency
Agreement. The NNPP shall provide written amendment to the NRC to obligate additional funds as may be mutually agreed.
Limitation of Price and NRC Obligations - Funds available for performance are described above in Obligation of Funds. The amount of funds available at award is not considered sufficient for the performance required for any program period other than the specified program period. If additional funds or an additional program period is needed and mutually agreed to, the NNPP shall modify the amount of funds described in the lnteragency Agreement as available for lnteragency Agreement performance. This procedure shall apply for any successive program period, if any.
The NNPP is not obligated to the NRC for any amount over that described in the lnteragency Agreement as available for lnteragency Agreement performance.
The NRC is not obligated to provide services for any lnteragency Agreement period after the first period specified under this Agreement (Summer 2019 through October
2023) unless and until written notification is received from the NNPP of an increase in availability of funds and/or increase in the period of performance. If so notified, the NRC obligation shall increase only to the extent lnteragency Agreement performance is required for any additional program period for which funds are made available, and to the extent that NRC support and service resources are determined by the NRC to be available.
Cancellation of Items - "Cancellation", as used in this Section, means that NR is canceling their requirements for all items in program periods subsequent to that in which notice of cancellation is provided. Cancellation shall occur by the date specified in the obligation of funds schedule above related to the applicable subsequent lnteragency
Agreement period (unless a later date is agreed to}, if NR (a} notifies The NRC that funds are not available for lnteragency Agreement performance for any subsequent program period or (b} fails to notify that funds are available for performance of the succeeding program period requirement.
If cancellation under this section occurs, The NRC shall not be paid a cancellation charge.
Notional Framework for Regulation of SSSB Dismantlement and Disposal
Summary of the NRC Decommissioning Process for Materials Licensees
If the SSSB were a radiological support vessel owned by an entity licensed by the NRC, the licensee would be required to notify the NRC within 60 days upon either the expiration of the license, a decision by the licensee to cease operations, or a period of inactivity of 24 months. Within 12 months of this notification, the licensee would be required to submit a Decommissioning Plan (DP).
The DP review process begins with an acceptance review. The objective of the acceptance review is to verify that the application contains sufficient information before the staff begins an in-depth technical review. At the conclusion of the acceptance review, the DP will either be accepted for detailed technical review or rejected and returned to the licensee with the deficiencies identified. For DPs proposing unrestn·cted release a full technical review will be performed in accordance with Subpart E of 10 CFR Part 20, "Standards for Protection Against Radiation. n The results of the staffs review will be documented in an Environmental Assessment (EA), or Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) if a Finding of No Significant Impact cannot be made, and a Safety Evaluation Report (SER). If an EA or EIS is prepared, the EA or EIS will be shared with the appropriate State, and State comments will be considered in finalizing the EA or EIS. The final EA or EIS must be summarized in the Federal Register.
Following publication of the EA or EIS, a license amendment will be issued approving the DP.
Following approval of the DP, the licensee must complete decommissioning in accordance with the approved DP within 24 months or apply for an alternate schedule.
NRC staff will inspect the licensee and receive reports during decommissioning operations to ensure compliance with the DP. These inspections will normally include in-process and confirmatory radiological surveys.
As the final step in decommissioning, the licensee is required to
• Certify the disposition of all licensed material, including accumulated wastes, by submitting a completed NRC Form 314 or equivalent information; and
• Conduct a radiation survey of the premises where licensed activities were carried out (in accordance with the procedures in the approved DP) and submit a report of the results of the survey, unless the licensee demonstrates in some other manner that the premises are suitable for release in accordance with the Subpart E of 10 CFR Part 20.;
• Properly dispose of licensed material;
• Make reasonable effort to eliminate residual radioactive contamination, if present;
• Ensure the site meets the approved DP; and
• Perform a radiation survey or demonstrate that the premises are suitable for release in accordance with the Subpart E of 10 CFR Part 20.
If the licensee were to propose to transfer the license to a decommissioning company or other entity, the licensee would submit an application for license transfer pursuant to 10 CFR 30.34, "Terms and Conditions of Licenses". Such an application would have much of the same information as a Decommissioning Plan, along with additional information on the qualifications of the decommissioning company and the financial assurances that the decommissioning process would be completed by the decommissioning company wishing to assume the license. The results of the NRG staff's review would be documented in a Safety Evaluation Report (SER). Upon satisfactory completion of this review, the NRG could approve transfer of the license to the decommissioning company, together with any necessary modifications to the license.
The NRG could elect to review a DP and License Transfer Request in parallel in a case where an approved DP did not already exist.
In some cases, the NRG oversees decommissioning of sites that do not have a current NRG license at the initiation of decommissioning activities, but the NRG has jurisdiction over the byproduct material at the site. In such cases there are no existing licensing bases in areas such as security, emergency preparedness, fire protection, quality assurance, environmental moniton·ng, radiation safety, and ALARA that would comply with NRG requirements. Instead of a Decommissioning Plan, the NRG requires a Decommissioning Worl< Plan be provided for NRG review and approval. The NRG documents its findings in a Technical Evaluation Report, instead of a Safety Evaluation Report. The Decommissioning Work Plan incorporates all of the above listed topics as well as the Decommissioning Plan items discussed in NUREG 1757. The NRG has been successful with this process at a number of unlicensed sites where the NRG has jurisdiction, including AAR Manufacturing, Kaiser Aluminum, and Breckenridge, Notional Application of the NRC Process for the SSSB
Since the SSSB is not an NRG- licensed radiological vessel, the following outline describes a framework under which the NRC could assist NAVSEA with the oversight of SSSB decommissioning. Rather than NRC regulation of these activities, NAVSEA is presenting this Notional Framework wherein the NRC would provide support to NAVSEA to facilitate the decommissioning of the SSSB. Under this construct, the NRC would perform the same reviews prior to decommissioning and perform the same inspections and receive reports during and after decommissioning as it would for an unlicensed facility where the NRC is overseeing decommissioning activities. This would also include similar reviews to those that would be performed in cases in which a license transfer to a decommissioning company was being proposed. However, instead of taking any regulatory action with the owner (non-licensee) or decommissioning contractor company, the NRC would provide recommended actions to NAVSEA.
NAVSEA, in turn, would take action through its contract with the decommissioning company to implement the NRC recommendations. Key steps in this process would include the following.
1. NAVSEA's contract with the decommissioning contractor company would require that decommissioning contractor company perform SSSB dismantlement and disposal in compliance with all NRC regulations that would apply to an NRC licensee or an unlicensed company whose decommissioning the NRC was overseeing. In the contract, NAVSEA will require that the decommissioning contractor company comply with all NRC requirements. By contract, NAVSEA would also require that the decommissioning contractor company provide the same information and access to the NRC as would be required for an NRC-licensed decommissioning process. However, since there is no licensee, the NRC will prepare a technical evaluation report for the Navy instead of a safety evaluation report.
2. Under contract to NAVSEA, the decommissioning contractor company, in cooperation with NAVSEA, would prepare a Decommissioning Work Plan in accordance with NRC requirements. The Decommissioning Work Plan would be submitted to the NRC for review. Under a to-be-developed lnteragency Agreement with NAVSEA, the NRC would conduct the same review as it would for an unlicensed site whose decommissioning was regulated by NRC. Any Requests for Additional Information for the decommissioning contractor company would be provided to NAVSEA, and any additional information submittals would be required to be addressed under NAVSEA's contract with the decommissioning contractor company. If the Decommissioning Work Plan was adequate, as the servicing agency for the Navy, the NRC would prepare a Technical Evaluation Report and a draft EA and draft FONSI, if an EIS was not required to support the Navy's decision on the Decommissioning Work Plan. If the Decommissioning Work Plan was acceptable, the NRC would recommend that the Navy approve the Plan and issue the EA and FONSI or EIS, and NAVSEA would take that action in accordance with the contract.
3. NAVSEA would transfer possession of the SSSB to the decommissioning contractor company. This transfer would only occur after the NRC reviewed a Request for Transfer of Possession. The Request for Transfer of Possession should include the information specified in 10 CFR 30.34(b)(2). Although no license exists to be transferred, the NRC's review would be similar to the type of review performed for a proposed license transfer, including review of the company's technical capabilities and the financial assurances to ensure that the decommissioning contractor company would be able to complete the required SSSB dismantlement and disposal. This NRC review could be done in parallel with the NRC review of the Decommissioning Work Plan.
Rather than taking action to approve or disapprove a license transfer, the NRC would make a recommendation to NAVSEA on whether or not to transfer possession of the SSSB to the decommissioning contractor company.
4. If the Decommissioning Work Plan and transfer of the SSSB were recommended by the NRC and authorized by NAVSEA under the contract, the NRC would inspect the progress of the dismantlement and disposal for compliance with NRC regulations in the same manner that the NRC would for a licensed decommissioning process. However, the findings of such inspections would be provided to NAVSEA rather than to the decommissioning contractor company. If corrective actions or penalties were recommended by the NRC, it would be the responsibility of NAVSEA to take action to require such actions or enforce any penalties.
5. The NRC's reviews and inspections would be performed in accordance with NRC publicly available inspection manual chapters and inspection procedures and would focus on radiological hazards. Non-radiological hazards, including occupational safety and health, RCRA hazardous materials, PCBs, and asbestos containing materials, would be regulated by other State and Federal agencies in the same manner that these hazards are regulated in non-nuclear Navy ship dismantlement and recycling.
6. Following completion of SSSB dismantlement and disposal, the NRC would perform any necessary final inspections, confirmatory surveys, and technical reviews to ensure that all parts of the SSSB were· properly disposed of and that the dismantlement site is suitable for unrestricted release. NRC would provide the results of such final reviews in a "Closure" letter with a Technical Evaluation Report to document NRC's closure of our activities in lieu of a license termination letter to NAVSEA. NAVSEA would take any required action prior to contract closeout with the decommissioning contractor company.
Throughout this entire process, it is the intention of both NRG and NAVSEA that SSSB dismantlement and disposal be conducted, as closely as possible, in accordance with NRG regulations. However, in, no case would the NRG act directly as a regulator of the decommissioning contractor company, but rather would provide all recommended approvals, recommended disapprovals, requests for additional information, inspection results, and recommended enforcement actions or penalties to NAVSEA. It would be NAVSEA's intent to enforce the NRC's recommended actions by contract, without any addition to or subtraction from, the NRC's recommendations.
