CR/5849 & Release Criteria

[Floyd Galpin <fgalpin@compuserve.com>]

In response to the issue raised by Barber, there is a 1992-1993
(originally issued in 1992 and reprinted in 1993) NUREG/CR-5849
(CR is for contract report) titled "Manual for Conducting
Radiological Surveys in Support of License Termination."  This is
draft report for comment and was prepared by Oak Ridge Associated
Universities.  It also carries the number ORAU-92/C57.  This came
out along with a number of other documents related to release
including NUREG/CR-5512 "Residual Radioactive Contamination From
Decommissioning" 1992 and NUREG-1500 "Working Draft Regulatory
Guide on Release Criteria for Decommissioning: NRC Staff's Draft
for Comment" 1994.  All of this is likely to be replaced by the
NRC's efforts to develop new cleanup criteria.  The survey and
measurement information will be replaced by the "Multi-Agency
Radiation Survey and Site Investigation Manual," known as
MARSSIM, which is being developed by NRC, EPA, DOE, and DOD.  A
draft MARSSIM (NUREG-1575, EPA 402-R-96-018, NTIS-PB97-117659), 
for public comment was issued in December 1996 and
at least was available by faxing the NRC Distribution Service at
301/415-2260.
