  1. NCHPS Fall Meeting 2010 • 10 CFR Part 37 Update

  2. Reference: • IMPLEMENTATION GUIDANCE FOR 10 CFR PART 37 PHYSICAL PROTECTION OF BYPRODUCT MATERIAL CATEGORY 1 AND CATEGORY 2 QUANTITIES OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL (June 2010 / Draft) • http://www.aapm.org/government_affairs/ documents/Part37DraftGuidanceJune2010.pdf • Available now on NRC website and ncradiation.net website – soon.

  3. Transition from “Orders to Regs”: • 10 CFR Part 37 establishes the objectives and minimum requirements that licensees must meet to protect against theft or diversion. • These requirements are intended to increase the protection of the public against the unauthorized use of category 1 or category 2 quantities of radioactive material by reducing the risk of the theft or diversion (or sabotage) of the material.

  4. General Overview: Extensive expansion of ICs with prescriptive documentation requirements, for example- • Strategy development for each element of the “monitor, detect, assess, & respond” chain. • Protocols and documentation for routine and non-routine system repair, calibration, testing, & revision. • Routine and recurring documented training and testing of system users’ understanding and ability to use the system appropriately and effectively. • Routine comprehensive program evaluations with self reported noncompliance findings and corrective actions.

  5. NRC TO HOLD PUBLIC MEETINGS IN MARYLAND: • Sept. 20 / 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m • Participate online at https://www1.gotomeeting.com/join/221305272 and by calling (888) 469-1280 (passcode 56389) for the audio. • Contact Amanda Noonan in advance at (301) 415-2551 or amanda.noonan@nrc.gov • The public comment period for the proposed rule ends Oct. 13.

  6. Recommended Actions: • Remember – they are not yet “final” only draft. • Read the referenced Implementation Guide. • Consider impact(s) on existing program(s). • Discuss potential impacts with resource providers. • Step back from existing compliance strategy and consider revision of “base” strategy such as leadership roles. (When is it a security mission and when a health physics mission?) • Be sure and consider – 37.43(a)(2)

  7. NC Path: • Agency management will evaluate options to reach “compatibility” requirements as required by “Agreement” – • Path will be a multi-phase timeline with orientation, comment, agreement, and compliance benchmarks (similar to original IC Orders).
