180 NAC 3-032. INACTIVATION OF CERTIFICATES OF REGISTRATION OF SEALED SOURCES AND DEVICES

032. INACTIVATION OF CERTIFICATES OF REGISTRATION OF SEALED SOURCES AND DEVICES. This section addresses the inactivation of certificates of registration of sealed sources and devices. 032.01 REQUEST FOR INACTIVATION OF REGISTRATION. A certificate holder who no longer manufactures or initially transfers any of the sealed source or sources or device or devices covered by a particular certificate issued by the Department must request inactivation of the registration certificate. Such a request must be made to the Department and must normally be made no later than two years after initial distribution of all of the source or sources or device or devices covered by the certificate has ceased. However, if the certificate holder determines that an initial transfer was in fact the last initial transfer more than two years after that transfer, the certificate holder must request inactivation of the certificate within 90 days of this determination and briefly describe the circumstances of the delay. 032.02 TERMINATION OF SPECIFIC LICENSE. If a distribution license is to be terminated according to 180 NAC 3-019, the licensee must request inactivation of its registration certificates associated with that distribution license before the Department will terminate the license. Such a request for inactivation of certificate or certificates must indicate that the license is being terminated and include the associated specific license number. 032.03 INACTIVATED CERTIFICATE. A specific license to manufacture or initially transfer a source or device covered only by an inactivated certificate no longer authorizes the licensee to initially transfer such sources or devices for use. Servicing of devices must be according to any conditions in the certificate, including in the case of an inactive certificate.

Many radioisotopes disintegrate into isotopes which are also radioactive. In expressing the concentrations in 180 NAC 3, Appendix 003-A the activity stated is that of the parent isotope and takes into account the daughters. For purposes of 180 NAC 3-004 where there is involved a combination of isotopes, the limit for the combination must be derived as follows: Determine for each isotope in the product the ratio between the concentration present in the product and the exempt concentration established in Appendix 003-A for the specific isotope when not in combination. The sum of such ratios may not exceed "1", or unity. Concentration of Isotope A in Product + Concentration of Isotope B in Product = ≤1 Exempt concentration of Isotope A Exempt concentration of Isotope B To convert µCi /ml to SI units of MBq per liter multiply the above value by 37. Zirconium (40) Zr-97 2E-4 µCi /ml multiplied by 37 is equivalent to 74E+4 MBq/l) APPENDIX 3-B Radioactive Material ....................................................................

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 Section II of this appendix. The terms of this self-guarantee are in Section III of this appendix. This appendix establishes criteria for passing the financial test for the self-guarantee and establishes the terms for obtaining a self-guarantee. II. FINANCIAL TEST A. To pass the financial test a company must meet all of the criteria set forth in this section. For purposes of applying the Appendix 3-D criteria, tangible net worth must be calculated to exclude all intangible assets and the net book value of the facility and site, and total net worth, which may include intangible assets, must be calculated to exclude the net book value and goodwill of the facility and site. These criteria include: (1) Tangible net worth of at least $21 million, and total net worth at least 10 times the amount of decommissioning funds being assured by a self-guarantee for all decommissioning activities for which the company is responsible as self-guaranteeing licensee and as parent-guarantor for the total of all facilities or parts, or the current amount required if certification is used. (2) Assets located in the United States amounting to at least 90% of total assets or at least 10 times the amount of decommissioning funds being assured by a self-guarantee, for all decommissioning activities for which the company is responsible as self-guaranteeing licensee and as parent-guarantor for the total of all facilities or parts, or the current amount required if certification is used. (3) A current rating for its most recent uninsured, uncollateralized, and unencumbered bond issuance of AAA, AA, or A, including adjustments of + and –, as issued by Standard and Poor's, or Aaa, Aa, or A, including adjustments of 1, 2, or 3, as issued by Moody's. B. To pass the financial test, a company must meet all of the following additional requirements: (1) The company must have at least one class of equity securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; (2) The company's independent certified public accountant must have compared the data used by the 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. The accountant must evaluate the company's off-balance sheet transactions and provide an opinion on whether those transactions could materially adversely affect the company's ability to pay for decommissioning costs. The accountant must verify that a bond rating, if used to demonstrate passage of the financial test, meets the requirements of Section II, paragraph A of this appendix. In connection with the auditing procedure, the licensee must 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 company no longer passes the test; and (3) After the initial financial test, the company must annually pass the test and provide documentation of its continued eligibility to use the self-guarantee to the Department within 90 days after the close of each succeeding fiscal year. C. If the company no longer meets the requirements of Section II.A of this appendix, the licensee must send immediate notice to the Department of its intent to establish alternate financial assurance as specified in the Department’s regulations within 120 days of such notice. III. COMPANY SELF-GUARANTEE The terms of a self-guarantee which an applicant or licensee furnishes must provide that: A. The guarantee will remain in force unless the licensee sends notice of cancellation by certified mail to the Department. Cancellation may not occur, however during the 120 days beginning on the date of receipt of the notice of cancellation by the Department, as evidenced by the return receipt. B. The licensee must provide alternative financial assurance as specified in the Department’s regulations within 90 days following receipt by the Department of a notice of cancellation of the guarantee. C. The guarantee and financial test provisions must remain in effect until the Department has terminated the license or until another financial assurance method acceptable to the Department has been put in effect by the licensee. D. The licensee will promptly forward to the Department and the licensee’s independent auditor all reports covering the latest fiscal year filed by the licensee with the Securities and Exchange Commission according to the requirements of Section 13 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. E. (1) If, at any time, the licensee's most recent bond issuance ceases to be rated in any category of "A–" and above by Standard and Poor's or in any category of "A3" and above by Moody's, the licensee will notify the Department in writing within 20 days after publication of the change by the rating service. (2) If the licensee's most recent bond issuance ceases to be rated in any category of A or above by both Standard and Poor's and Moody's, the licensee no longer meets the requirements of Section II.A of this appendix. F. The applicant or licensee must provide to the Department a written guarantee, a written commitment by a corporate officer, which 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 fund the standby trust in the amount guaranteed by the self-guarantee agreement. G. (1) A standby trust to protect public health and safety and the environment must be established for decommissioning costs before the self-guarantee agreement is submitted. (2) 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. The Department has the right to change the trustee. An acceptable trust will meet the regulatory criteria established in these regulations that govern the issuance of the license for which the guarantor has accepted the obligation to pay for decommissioning costs. H. The guarantor must agree that if the guarantor admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally, or makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or any proceeding is instituted by or against the guarantor seeking to adjudicate it as bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking dissolution, liquidation, winding-up, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief or composition of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking the entry of an order for relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, or other similar official for the guarantor or for any substantial part of its property, or the guarantor takes any action to authorize or effect any of the actions stated in this paragraph, then the Department may: (1) Declare that the financial assurance guaranteed by the self-guarantee agreement is immediately due and payable to the standby trust set up to protect the public health and safety and the environment, without diligence, presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by guarantor; and (2) Exercise any and all of its other rights under applicable law. I. The guarantor must notify the Department, in writing, immediately following the occurrence of any event listed in paragraph H of this appendix, and must include a description of the event, including major creditors, the amounts involved, and the actions taken to assure that the amount of funds guaranteed by the self-guarantee agreement for decommissioning will be transferred to the standby trust as soon as possible.

APPENDIX 3-F Criteria Relating to Use of Financial Tests and Parent Company Guarantees for Providing Reasonable Assurance of Funds for Decommissioning I. INTRODUCTION 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. II. FINANCIAL TEST A. To pass the financial test, the parent company must meet the criteria of either paragraph A.1 or A.2 of this section. For purposes of applying the Appendix 3-F criteria, tangible net worth must be calculated to exclude all intangible assets and the net book value of the facility and site, and total net worth, which may include intangible assets, must be calculated to exclude the net book value and goodwill of the facility and site. 1. The parent company must have: (i) Two of the following three ratios: A ratio of total liabilities to net worth less than 2.0; a ratio of the sum of net income plus depreciation, depletion, and amortization to total liabilities greater than 0.1; and a ratio of current assets to current liabilities greater than 1.5; (ii) Net working capital and tangible net worth each at least six times the amount of decommissioning being issued by a parent company guarantee for the total of all facilities or parts, or prescribed amount if a certification is used; (iii) Tangible net worth of at least $21 million; and (iv) Assets located in the United States amounting to at least 90% of the total assets or at least six times the current decommissioning cost estimates for the total of all facilities or parts, or prescribed amount if a certification is used. 2. The parent company must have: (i) A current rating for its most recent uninsured, uncollateralized, and unencumbered bond issuance of AAA, AA, A, or BBB, including adjustments of + and –, as issued by Standard and Poor's or AAA, AA, A, or Baa, including adjustment of 1, 2, or 3, as issued by Moody's; (ii) Net working capital and tangible net worth each at least six times the amount of decommissioning funds being assured by a parent company guarantee for the total of all facilities or parts, or prescribed amount if a certification is used; (iii) Tangible net worth of at least $21 million; and (iv) Assets located in the United States amounting to at least 90% of the total assets or at least six times the current decommissioning cost estimates for the total of all facilities or parts, or prescribed amount if a certification is used. B. The parent company's independent certified public accountant must compare the data used by the parent company in the financial test, which is derived from the independently audited, yearend financial statements for the latest fiscal year, with the amounts in such financial statement. The accountant must evaluate the parent company's off-balance sheet transactions and provide an opinion on whether those transactions could materially adversely affect the parent company's ability to pay for decommissioning costs. The accountant must verify that a bond rating, if used to demonstrate passage of the financial test, meets the requirements of paragraph A of this section. In connection with the auditing procedure, the licensee must inform the Department 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. 1. After the initial financial test, the parent company must annually pass the test and provide documentation of its continued eligibility to use the parent company guarantee to the Department within 90 days after the close of each succeeding fiscal year. 2. If the parent company no longer meets the requirements of paragraph A of this section, the licensee must send notice to the Department of intent to establish alternate financial assurance as specified in the Department's regulations. The notice must be sent by certified mail within 90 days after the end of the fiscal year for which the yearend 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. III. PARENT COMPANY GUARANTEE The terms of a parent company guarantee which an applicant or licensee obtains must provide that: A. The parent company guarantee will remain in force unless the guarantor sends notice of cancellation by certified mail to the licensee and the Department. 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 receipts. B. If the licensee fails to provide alternate financial assurance as specified in the Department's regulations within 90 days after receipt by the licensee and Department of a notice of cancellation of the parent company guarantee from the guarantor, the guarantor will provide alternative financial assurance that meets to provision of the Department’s regulation in the name of the licensee. C. The parent company guarantee and financial test provisions must remain in effect until the Department has terminated the license, accepted in writing the parent company’s alternate financial assurances, or accepted in writing the licensee’s financial assurances. D. A standby trust to protect public health and safety and the environment must be established for decommissioning costs before the parent company guarantee agreement is submitted. 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, whose trust operations are regulated and examined by a Federal or State agency. The Department has the right to change the trustee.
