normally used as gases. 2 µCi/gm for solids. NOTE 1. Many radioisotopes disintegrate into isotopes which are also radioactive. In expressing the concentrations in Schedule A, the activity stated is that of the parent isotope and takes into account the daughters. NOTE 2. For purposes of LAC 33:XV.304, where there is involved a combination of isotopes, the limit for the combination should be derived as follows: Determine for each isotope in the product the ratio between the radioactivity concentration present in the product and the exempt radioactivity concentration established in Schedule A for the specific isotope when not in combination. The sum of such ratios may not exceed "l" (i.e., unity). Example: NOTE 3. To convert µCi/ml to SI units of megabecquerels per liter, multiply the above values by 37. Example: Zirconium (40) Zr-97 (2 x 10-4 µCi/ml multiplied by 37 is equivalent to 74 x 10-4 MBq/1) NOTE 4. Values in Column I are given only for those materials normally used as gases. In Column II, concentrations are expressed in µCi/ml for liquids and µCi/gm for solids.

Appendix B Criteria Relating to Use of Financial Tests and Parent Company Guarantees for Providing Reasonable Assurance of Funds for Decommissioning An applicant or licensee may provide reasonable assurance of the availability of funds for decommissioning based on obtaining a parent company guarantee that funds will be available for decommissioning costs and on a demonstration that the parent company passes a financial test. This Appendix establishes criteria for passing the financial test and for obtaining the parent company guarantee. A. To pass the financial test the parent company must meet the criteria of either Paragraph A.1 or 2 of this Appendix. 1. The parent company must have: a. two of the following three ratios: i. a ratio of total liabilities to net worth less than 2.0; ii. a ratio of the sum of net income plus depreciation, depletion, and amortization to total liabilities greater than 0.1; and iii. a ratio of current assets to current liabilities greater than 1.5; and b. net working capital and tangible net worth each at least six times the current decommissioning cost estimates (or prescribed amount if a certification is used); and c. tangible net worth of at least $10 million; and d. assets located in the United States amounting to at least 90 percent of total assets or at least six times the current decommissioning cost estimates (or prescribed amount if a certification is used). 2. The parent company must have: a. a current rating for its most recent bond issuance of AAA, AA, A, or BBB as issued by Standard and Poor's or Aaa, Aa, A, or Baa as issued by Moody's; b. tangible net worth at least six times the current decommissioning cost estimate (or prescribed amount if a certification is used); and c. assets located in the United States amounting to at least 90 percent of total assets or at least six times the current decommissioning cost estimates (or prescribed amount if certification is used). B. The parent company's independent certified public accountant must have compared the data used by the parent company in the financial test, which is derived from the independently audited, year-end financial statements for the latest fiscal year, with the amounts in such financial statement. In connection with that procedure the licensee shall inform the Office of Environmental Compliance within 90 days of any matters coming to the auditor's attention which cause the auditor to believe that the data specified in the financial test should be adjusted and that the company no longer passes the test. C. After the initial financial test, the parent company must repeat the passage of the test within 90 days after the close of each succeeding fiscal year. D. If the parent company no longer meets the requirements of Subsection A of this Appendix, the licensee must send notice to the Office of Environmental Compliance of intent to establish alternate financial assurance as specified in these regulations. The notice must be sent by certified mail within 90 days after the end of the fiscal year for which the year-end financial data show that the parent company no longer meets the financial test requirements. The licensee must provide alternate financial assurance within 120 days after the end of such fiscal year. E. The terms of a parent company guarantee that an applicant or licensee obtains must provide that: 1. the parent company guarantee will remain in force unless the guarantor sends notice of cancellation by certified mail to the licensee and the Office of Environmental Compliance. Cancellation may not occur, however, during the 120 days beginning on the date of receipt of the notice of cancellation by both the licensee and the department, as evidenced by the return receipt; 2. if the licensee fails to provide alternate financial assurance as specified in these regulations within 90 days after receipt by the licensee and the department of a notice of cancellation of the parent company guarantee from the guarantor, the guarantor will provide such alternative financial assurance in the name of the licensee; 3. the parent company guarantee and financial test provisions must remain in effect until the department has terminated the license; 4. if a trust is established for decommissioning costs, the trustee and trust must be acceptable to the department. An acceptable trustee includes an appropriate state or federal government agency or an entity which has the authority to act as a trustee and whose trust operations are regulated and examined by a federal or state agency.

Note: This Appendix is retained for use by those agreement states that need to adopt decommissioning regulations compatible with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Note: Where there is involved a combination of isotopes in known amounts, the limit for the combination should be derived as follows: Determine, for each isotope in the combination, the ratio between the quantity present in the combination and the limit otherwise established for the specific isotope when not in combination. The sum of such ratios for all the isotopes in the combination may not exceed "1" or unity. Appendix E Criteria Relating to Use of Financial Tests and Self-Guarantee for Providing Reasonable Assurance of Funds for Decommissioning by Commercial Companies That Have No Outstanding Rated Bonds A. Introduction. An applicant or licensee may provide reasonable assurance of the availability of funds for decommissioning based on furnishing its own guarantee that funds will be available for decommissioning costs and on a demonstration that the company passes the financial test of Subsection B of this Appendix. The terms of the self-guarantee are in Subsection C of this Appendix. This Appendix establishes criteria for passing the financial test for the self-guarantee and establishes the terms for a self-guarantee. B. Financial Test 1. To pass the financial test a company must meet the following criteria: a. tangible net worth greater than $10 million, or at least 10 times the total current decommissioning cost estimate (or the current amount required if certification is used), whichever is greater, for all decommissioning activities for which the company is responsible as self-guaranteeing licensee and as parent-guarantor; b. assets located in the United States amounting to at least 90 percent of total assets or at least 10 times the total current decommissioning cost estimate (or the current amount required if certification is used) for all decommissioning activities for which the company is responsible as self-guaranteeing licensee and as parent-guarantor; c. a ratio of cash flow divided by total liabilities greater than 0.15 and a ratio of total liabilities divided by net worth less than 1.5. 2. In addition, to pass the financial test, a company must meet all of the following requirements. a. The company's independent certified public accountant must have compared the data used by the company in the financial test, which is required to be derived from the independently audited year-end financial statements, based on United States generally accepted accounting practices, for the latest fiscal year, with the amounts in such financial statements. In connection with that procedure, the licensee shall inform the department within 90 days of any matters that may cause the auditor to believe that the data specified in the financial test should be adjusted and that the company no longer passes the test. b. After the initial financial test, the company shall repeat passage of the test within 90 days after the close of each succeeding fiscal year. c. If the licensee no longer meets the requirements of Paragraph B.1 of this Appendix, the licensee shall send notice to the department of intent to establish alternative financial assurance as specified in department regulations. The notice shall be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, within 90 days after the end of the fiscal year for which the year-end financial data show that the licensee no longer meets the financial test requirements. The licensee must provide alternative financial assurance within 120 days after the end of such fiscal year. C. Company Self-Guarantee. The terms of a self-guarantee that an applicant or licensee furnishes must provide for the following. 1. The guarantee shall remain in force unless the licensee sends notice of cancellation by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the department. Cancellation may not occur until an alternative financial assurance mechanism is in place. 2. The licensee shall provide alternative financial assurance as specified in department regulations within 90 days following receipt by the department of a notice of cancellation of the guarantee. 3. The guarantee and financial test provisions shall remain in effect until the department has terminated the license or until another financial assurance method acceptable to the department has been put into effect by the licensee. 4. The applicant or licensee shall provide to the department a written guarantee (a written commitment by a corporate officer) that states that the licensee will fund and carry out the required decommissioning activities or, upon issuance of an order by the department, the licensee will set up and fund a trust in the amount of the current cost estimates for decommissioning. Appendix F Criteria Relating to Use of Financial Tests and Self-Guarantee for Providing Reasonable Assurance of Funds for Decommissioning by Nonprofit Colleges, Universities, and Hospitals A. Introduction. An applicant or licensee may provide reasonable assurance of the availability of funds for decommissioning based on furnishing its own guarantee that funds will be available for decommissioning costs and on a demonstration that the applicant or licensee passes the financial test of Subsection B of this Appendix. The terms of the self-guarantee are in Subsection C of this Appendix. This Appendix establishes criteria for passing the financial test for the self-guarantee and establishes the terms for a self-guarantee. B. Financial Test 1. For colleges and universities, to pass the financial test a college or university must meet either the criteria in Subparagraph B.1.a or the criteria in Subparagraph B.1.b of this Appendix: a. for an applicant or licensee that issues bonds, a current rating for its most recent uninsured, uncollateralized, and unencumbered bond issuance of AAA, AA, or A as issued by Standard and Poors (S&P), or Aaa, Aa, or A as issued by Moodys; b. for an applicant or licensee that does not issue bonds, unrestricted endowment consisting of assets located in the United States of at least $50 million, or at least 30 times the total current decommissioning cost estimate (or the current amount required if certification is used), whichever is greater, for all decommissioning activities for which the college or university is responsible as a self-guaranteeing licensee. 2. For hospitals, to pass the financial test a hospital must meet either the criteria in Subparagraph B.2.a or the criteria in Subparagraph B.2.b of this Appendix: a. for an applicant or licensee that issues bonds, a current rating for its most recent uninsured, uncollateralized, and unencumbered bond issuance of AAA, AA, or A as issued by Standard and Poors (S&P), or Aaa, Aa, or A as issued by Moodys; b. for an applicant or licensee that does not issue bonds, all of the following tests must be met: i. total revenues less total expenditures, divided by total revenues, shall be equal to or greater than 0.04; ii. long term debt divided by net fixed assets shall be less than or equal to 0.67; iii. current assets and depreciation fund, divided by current liabilities, shall be greater than or equal to 2.55; iv. operating revenues shall be at least 100 times the total current decommissioning cost estimate (or the current amount required if certification is used) for all decommissioning activities for which the hospital is responsible as a self-guaranteeing licensee. 3. In addition, to pass the financial test, a licensee must meet all of the following requirements. a. The licensee's independent certified public accountant must have compared the data used by the licensee in the financial test, which is required to be derived from the independently audited year-end financial statements, based on United States generally accepted accounting practices, for the latest fiscal year, with the amounts in such financial statements. In connection with that procedure, the licensee shall inform the department within 90 days of any matters coming to the attention of the auditor that cause the auditor to believe that the data specified in the financial test should be adjusted and that the licensee no longer passes the test. b. After the initial financial test, the licensee shall repeat passage of the test within 90 days after the close of each succeeding fiscal year. c. If the licensee no longer meets the requirements of Paragraph B of this Appendix, the licensee shall send notice to the department of its intent to establish alternative financial assurance as specified in department regulations. The notice shall be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, within 90 days after the end of the fiscal year for which the year-end financial data show that the licensee no longer meets the financial test requirements. The licensee must provide alternate financial assurance within 120 days after the end of such fiscal year. C. Self-Guarantee. The terms of a self-guarantee that an applicant or licensee furnishes must provide for the following. 1. The guarantee shall remain in force unless the licensee sends notice of cancellation by certified mail, and/or return receipt requested, to the department. Cancellation may not occur unless an alternative financial assurance mechanism is in place. 2. The licensee shall provide alternative financial assurance as specified in department regulations within 90 days following receipt by the department of a notice of cancellation of the guarantee. 3. The guarantee and financial test provisions shall remain in effect until the department has terminated the license or until another financial assurance method acceptable to the department has been put into effect by the licensee. 4. The applicant or licensee shall provide to the department a written guarantee (a written commitment by a corporate officer or officer of the institution) that states that the licensee will fund and carry out the required decommissioning activities or, upon issuance of an order by the department, the licensee will set up and fund a trust in the amount of the current cost estimates for decommissioning. 5. If, at any time, the licensee's most recent bond issuance ceases to be rated in any category of "A" or above by either Standard and Poors or Moodys, the licensee shall provide notice in writing of such fact to the department within 20 days after publication of the change by the rating service.
