Docket i 50-148/89-01
Dear Mr. Murray:
I am responding to your letter dated March 10, 1989, in which the transfer to Kansas State University, seemingly without appropriate documentation, of 2 grams of encapsulated special nuclear material is addressed as a violation.
Although the University of Kansas Radiation Safety Service was not able to locate documentation of the appropriate KSU license in its records, it is the recollection of the Radiation Safety Officer, Ben Friesen, that the documentation was exchanged at the time of the transfer. It has always been the practice of the Service to obtain documentation before shipping or releasing radioactive materials, including special nuclear materials. This responsibility is taken seriously, and the Service has in its files the documentation for all other transfers.
The KU Service responded immediately to the discovery that the documentation for that particular transfer could not be located, and it now possesses the required documentation that KSU has and did have the license to possess and use radioactive and special nuclear materials. A copy of the l applicable portions of the KSU license is enclosed, as is a copy of the
'
assurance from the KSU Radiation Officer that possession limits were not
. exceeded.
The KU Radiation Safety Service already requires the receipt of documentation before the shipment or transfer of licensed materials, including special nuclear materials. The Service has, in addition, created a checklist (a copy of which is enclosed) that must be completed before the transfer of any special nuclear materials. This checklist will remind those involved of the requirements and will specify where the documentation will be filed.
