CONDITIONS 10. Licensed material may be used or stored at the licensee's facilities located at:

A.

11301 Olive Lane, Anchorage, Alaska, 99515; and B.

Licensed material may also be used or stored at temporary job sites of the licensee anywhere in the United States where the Nuclear Regulatory Commission maintains jurisdiction for regulating the use of licensed material, including areas of exclusive Federal jurisdiction within Agreement States.

If the jurisdiction status of a Federal facility within an Agreement State is unknown, the licensee should contact the Federal agency controlling the job site in question to determine whether the proposed job site is an area of exclusive Federal jurisdiction. Authorization for use of radioactive materials at job sites in Agreement States not under exclusive Federal jurisdiction should be obtained from the appropriate state regulatory agency.

11. Licensed material shall only be used by, or under the supervision and in the physical presence of, individuals who have received the training described in the letter dated May 4, 2018. The licensee shall maintain records of individuals designated as users for 3 years following the last use of licensed material by the individual.

12. The Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) for this license is Justin Andryjowicz.

13. A.

Sealed sources and detector cells shall be tested for leakage and/or contamination at intervals not to exceed the intervals specified in the certificate of registration issued by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission under 10 CFR 32.210 or by an Agreement Stat In the absence of a registration certificate, sealed sources shall be tested for leakage and/or contamination at intervals not to exceed 6 months, or at such other intervals as specified.

B.

In the absence of a certificate from a transferor indicating that a leak test has been made within the intervals specified in the certificate of registration issued by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission under 10 CFR 32.210 or by an Agreement State, prior to the transfer, a sealed source received from another person shall not be put into use until tested and the test results receive License No.:

C.

Sealed sources need not be tested if they are in storage and are not being used. However, when they are removed from storage for use or transferred to another person, and have not been tested within the required leak test interval, they shall be tested before use or transfer. No sealed source shall be stored for a period of more than 10 years without being tested for leakage and/or contamination.

D.

The leak test shall be capable of detecting the presence of 185 becquerels (0.005 microcuries) of radioactive material on the test sample. If the test reveals the presence of 185 becquerels (0.005 microcuries) or more of removable contamination, a report shall be filed with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission in accordance with 10 CFR 30.50(c)(2), and the source shall be removed immediately from service and decontaminated, repaired, or disposed of in accordance with Commission regulations.

E.

Analysis of leak test samples and/or contamination shall be performed by persons specifically licensed by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission or an Agreement State to perform such services. The licensee is authorized to collect leak test samples but not perform the analysis.

F.

Records of leak test results shall be kept in units of becquerels (microcuries) and shall be maintained for 3 years.

14. Sealed sources or source rods containing licensed material shall not be opened or sources removed from source holders or detached from source rods by the licensee, except as specifically authorized.

15. The licensee shall conduct a physical inventory every 6 months, or at other intervals approved by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, to account for all sealed sources and/or devices received and possessed under the license. Records of inventories shall be maintained for 3 years from the date of each inventory, and shall include the radionuclides, quantities, manufacturer's name and model numbers, and the date of the inventory.

16. Except for maintaining labeling as required by 10 CFR Part 20, or Part 71, the licensee shall obtain authorization from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission before making any changes in the sealed source, device, or source-device combination that would alter the description or specifications as indicated in the respective certificate of registration issued either by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission pursuant to 10 CFR 32.210 or by an Agreement Stat License No.:

17. Each portable nuclear gauge shall have a lock or outer locked container designed to prevent unauthorized or accidental removal of the sealed source from its shielded position. The gauge or its container must be locked when in transport or storage, or when not under the direct surveillance of an authorized user.

18. Any cleaning, maintenance, or repair of the gauge(s) that requires detaching the source or source rod from the gauge shall be performed only by the manufacturer or by other persons specifically licensed by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission or an Agreement State to perform such services.

19. Except as specifically provided otherwise in this license, the licensee shall conduct its program in accordance with the statements, representations, and procedures contained in the documents, including any enclosures, listed belo This license condition applies only to those statements, representations, and procedures that are required to be submitted in accordance with the regulation The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's regulations shall govern unless the statements, representations, and procedures in the licensee's application and correspondence impose on the licensee requirements that are more restrictive than or in addition to the regulations.
