Decommissioning Handbook

[Kristin Erickson <10525kfb@msu.edu>]

Hi, Radsafers:

In repsonse to the inquiry about the decommissioning handbook, let me
suggest that you all check out the new manual for decommissioning and site
release, called MARSIMM (Multi-Agency Radiation Survey and Site
Investigation Manual), just released in draft form for public comment.  It
is the first significant joint effort that I am aware of from the DOT, DOE,
NRC and EPA to provide joint guidelines and criteria for us to use.

I haven't had time to dig in much yet, but it looks to be comprehensive and
decently organized, which is already a step forward on a topic that has
placed all of us great duress in recent years.

I will be interested to hear what others think of it.  You can get one by
sending a request for this manual to one of the following locations.

The NRC Public Document Room
2120 L Street, N.S., Lower Level

They also have a web page with this doc on it at :
