David Crowley, RMB Manager Radioactive Materials Branch 9
Introduction to Myself David Crowley, MS: B.S. Physics from Case Western Reserve University (Cleveland, OH) Joined Navy, served as Nuke Officer at Training Units (Charleston, SC) Once out, attained M.S. Medical Physics from Georgia Tech (Atlanta, GA) Began with agreement state programs in 2012, managed GA program after they had been placed on probation. (Atlanta, GA) After getting GA off probation, moved to NC program December 2014. (Raleigh, NC) Organizations: Director of Emerging Issues, Organization of Agreement States Chair of Southern Emergency Response Council, Southern States Energy Board Member, Conference of Radiation Control Program Directors 10
Current Branch Staffing & Status Name Expertise Name Expertise Sharn Jeffries Lead, Inspection & Enforcement Randy Crowe Licensing Louis Brayboy Lead, Licensing Caleb Smith Inspection & Licensing Travis Cartoski Lead, Security & Response Scott Houchin Inspection & Licensing Sheila Nelson Inspection William Johnson Coordinator, General Licensing Cliff Harris, PhD Inspection Nick Driver Coordinator, Reciprocity & Support Dawn Burke Licensing Patrick Cox Environmental Monitoring James Albright Regulatory Consultant Vacancy Inspection & Licensing Vacancy posted here: http://agency.governmentjobs.com/northcarolina/job_bulletin.cf m?jobid=1549571 Open until 10/17/2016, COB, please share with those you think may be qualified and interested. 11
Important Changes or Reminders Website is under construction, if you need anything please contact respective staff for assistance. Also, we will accept just about any NRC form equivalent if you can no longer find the NC forms. (Most of the NC forms were out of date and inaccurate.) Emergency RAM Branch #, cell carried 24/7/365. If you have a materials incident you may call 919-602-7151. (This is also printed on the bottom of newest notice to employees form.) For licensees with a good compliance history over the past renewal cycle, that submit renewal on time, will be awarded a 10 year license. Restarted sending expiration notices monthly, to all licensees within 3 months of expiring back to those already expired. Will be sent to licensee s contact email. 12
Important Changes or Reminders New license requests will be slightly delayed; however, we will try to issue within 1-3 months. This is due to vulnerabilities pointed out in the 2015 Government Accountability Office sting operation (report here: http://www.gao.gov/products/gao-16-330). No longer will NC do hand-deliveries, but pre-licensing visits (and security inspections where applicable). Fee will need to be paid as a last step, and the license will be issued with a date when the payment clears. Licensing staff will be required to independently verify credibility of at least 3 documents submitted during licensing; this is done by contacting persons outside of the applicant s organization. All specific licensing requests are encouraged to be submitted electronically to: licensing.ram@dhhs.nc.gov Reciprocity requests and temporary job site notifications to be submitted to: reciprocity.ram@dhhs.nc.gov 13
Regulatory Updates Increased Controls were formalized in NC regulation this year We adopted 10 CFR Part 37 in March 2016 via license condition and the NC rules, 10A NCAC 15.1700, became effective June 1, 2016. Currently, a package of 30 separate rules are out for public comment. October 3, 2016 edition of the N.C. Register found here: http://www.ncoah.com/rules/register Public hearing is scheduled for November 18, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. in Room 131, Wright Building, 1201 Umstead Drive, Raleigh, NC 27603. The proposed effective date of these rules is March 1, 2017. Will be adopting a snapshot in time of 10 CFR (NRC rules in effect January 1st, 2016) by reference; it was later decided by the Radiation Protection Commission that future changes will include subsequent amendments. Mostly updating for compatibility with NRC, no large impact to licensees expected. Added rules to formalize the sealed source and device program. Added rules for planning, testing, and minimizing subsurface contamination be included for decommissioning purposes. Added that licensees are required to provide exposure history at end of employment, upon request. 14
Branch s (Inter) National Efforts Louis Brayboy OAS/NRC working group on pre-licensing enhancements post GAO sting 15. Caleb Smith OAS/NRC working group to establish licensing guidance for gallium/germanium PET generator. James Albright OAS/NRC working group to evaluate extended license renewal periods. Myself IAEA workshop in Vienna/Bucharest with Dr. Yoshizumi and Christopher Westerfeldt (both of Duke University TUNL/DFELL) to establish regulatory framework for Romanian Extreme Light Infrastructure Nuclear Physics facility (http://www.eli-np.ro). 15
NRC s State Communication Portal Lots of great information, if you navigate the public links to left hand side of page: https://scp.nrc.gov/ Draft policies and federal regulation out for comment, look for What s Due? : https://scp.nrc.gov/actionitems.html If curious about any other active working groups or committees, look for NRC & Agreement State Working Groups : https://scp.nrc.gov/workinggroup.html 16
