Initial Site-Specific De-Inventory Report for Big Rock Point Report No.: RPT-3014537-002
Communication and interfacing with the applicable stakeholders would be needed to ensure readiness. This would include, but would not be limited to BRP, DOE, and State and local authorities. In addition, the NRC on-site and Region III inspectors would be expected to oversee the entire preparation, construction, and training/dry run program. Some entities would need to be involved in all aspects of the project (i.e., planning, development of concepts, training, readiness approval, and performing oversight on any dry run operations). This would include reviewing procedures and possibly performing audits/assessments to ensure operational readiness. As an additional readiness verification, an independent team of dry cask storage and transport experts would review applicable operational procedures and equipment design/function prior to initiation of the transfer program. As a last step prior to start of operations, a final dry run will be performed and witnessed by DOE, NRC, officials from the State of Michigan, and stakeholders. Additionally, and as applicable, these entities would be involved in event response planning and mitigation, including contingency event training, to ensure that any event is well managed and mitigated prior to the first shipment of the campaign. This would encompass approvals to start work, training, and interaction with state and local authorities. It is assumed that BRP, NRC, and DOE would participate as observer/regulator for each shipment. Transportation-related Operational Readiness Items Equipment Readiness is Determined thorough Review of the Following: Document insurance requirements of the contract are in place. Ensure transportation equipment certifications are current and would be for the duration of the transportation cycle. Ensure all vehicles have required registrations. Ensure all vehicles have current inspections. Ensure radiological packaging meets all current requirements. Ensure the packages are correctly identified (i.e., all required markings and placards are displayed properly and are available at the site prior to beginning the operation). Ensure the radioactive material contents of the transportation package(s) to be loaded are properly and fully described and documented and that the contents fully comply with the contents requirements listed in the CoC for the packaging(s). Provide copies of inspections for equipment to be utilized to handle and transport the overpacks. Provide copies of all procedures associated with the transportation of the overpacks. Provide proper documentation that the required security plan is in place and has been approved, when required (for example, with the USCG). The short line railroad would also need to be informed that the site has been designated as a "rail secure" facility. The railroads do not approve the plan, but the serving carrier must be informed a plan exists and a contact name must be provided.
