NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Public Workshop: Demonstrating Compliance With the Radiological 
Criteria for License Termination--License Termination Under Restricted 
Conditions

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

ACTION: Notice of meeting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The NRC will hold a public workshop in Rockville, Maryland to 
receive input from licensees and the public on a working paper on 
``License Termination Under Restricted Conditions.'' This working paper 
is being developed as a section of a future Regulatory Guide, 
``Demonstrating Compliance With the Radiological Criteria for License 
Termination.'' The Regulatory Guide is being written to describe an 
acceptable method to comply with the NRC's recent final rule on 
Radiological Criteria for License Termination (62 FR 39058; July 21, 
1997). The purpose of the workshop is to obtain comments, suggestions, 
and information from the public on the approach in the working paper so 
that a better Regulatory Guide can be developed. All interested 
licensees and members of the public are invited to attend this 
workshop.

DATES: The workshop will be held on October 15, 1997, beginning at 9 
a.m. and ending at about 5 p.m.
    Interested parties, unable to attend the workshop, are encouraged 
to provide written comments by November 30, 1997.

room at Two White Flint North, 11545 Rockville Pike, Rockville,

considered in developing the Regulatory Guide working paper on 
``License Termination under Restricted Conditions.'' After the 
introduction, the Working Paper will be reviewed section-by-section. 
Attendees will be asked for questions and comments on each section. The 
NRC will ask questions on the approach that it has developed. Written 
comments that have been received from the public will be discussed.
