Mark P. Winslow, Ph.D.
Radiation Safety Officer
Providence Imaging Center
3340 Providence Drive
Anchorage, Alaska 99508
SUBJECT: LICENSE AMENDMENT
Please find enclosed Amendment Number 04 to NRC License Number 50-29357-01 naming Dr.
Winslow as Radiation Safety Officer, as requested. An environmental assessment for this
licensing action is not required, since this action is categorically excluded under 10 CFR 51.22(c)(14)(iv). You should review this license carefully and be sure that you understand all
conditions. You can contact me at (817) 200-1590 if you have any questions about this license.
Note that your license and license conditions have been updated in a new format. Please review
your license and notify this office if you have any discrepancies or questions.
The NRCs Safety Culture Policy Statement became effective in June 2011. While a policy
statement and not a regulation, it sets forth the agencys expectations for individuals and
organizations to establish and maintain a positive safety culture. You can access the policy
statement and supporting material that may benefit your organization on NRCs safety culture
Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/regulatory/enforcement/safety-culture.html. We
strongly encourage you to review this material and adapt it to your particular needs in order to
develop and maintain a positive safety culture as you engage in NRC-regulated activities.
NRC expects licensees to conduct their programs with meticulous attention to detail and a high
standard of compliance. Because of the serious consequences to employees and the public
that can result from failure to comply with NRC requirements, you must conduct your radiation
safety program according to the conditions of your NRC license, representations made in your
license application, and NRC regulations. In particular, note that you must:
1. Operate by NRC regulations 10 CFR Part 19, Notices, Instructions and Reports to
Workers: Inspection and Investigations, 10 CFR Part 20, Standards for Protection
Against Radiation, and other applicable regulations.
2. Notify NRC in writing of any change in mailing address.
3. By 10 CFR 30.36(d) and/or license condition, notify NRC, promptly, in writing, and
request termination of the license:
a. When you decide to terminate all activities involving materials authorized under
the license whether at the entire site or any separate building or outdoor area;

b. If you decide not to acquire or possess and use authorized material; or
c. When no principal activities under the license have been conducted for a period
of 24 months.
4. In accordance with 10 CFR 35.14, notify the NRC no later than 30 days after:
a. The date that the licensee permits an individual to work as an authorized user,
an authorized nuclear pharmacist or an authorized medical physicist under
10 CFR 35.13(b)(1) through (b)(4);
b. An authorized user, an authorized nuclear pharmacist, a Radiation Safety Officer,
or an authorized medical physicist permanently discontinues duties under the
license or has a name change;
c. The licensees mailing address changes;
d. The licensees name changes, but the name change does not constitute a
transfer of control of the license as described in 10 CFR 30.34(b); or
e. The licensee has added to or changed the areas of use identified in the
application or on the license where byproduct material is used in accordance with
either 35.100 or 35.200.
5. Request and obtain a license amendment before you:
a. Change Radiation Safety Officers;
b. Order byproduct material in excess of the amount, radionuclide or form
authorized on the license;
c. Add or change the areas or address(es) of use identified in the license
application or on the license, except for areas of use where byproduct material is
used only in accordance with either 10 CFR 35.100 or 35.200; or
d. Change the name or ownership of your organization.
6. Submit a complete renewal application or termination request at least 30 days before the
expiration date on your license. You will receive a reminder notice approximately
90 days before the expiration date. Possession of radioactive material after your license
expires is a violation of NRC regulations.
In addition, please note that NRC Form 313 requires the applicant, by signature, to verify that
the applicant understands that all statements contained in the application are true and correct to
the best of the applicants knowledge. The signatory for the application should be the licensee
or certifying official rather than a consultant. Since the NRC also accepts a letter requesting
amendment of an NRC license, the signatory for such a request should also be the licensee or
certifying official rather than a consultant.

NRC will periodically inspect your radiation safety program. Failure to conduct your program
according to NRC regulations, license conditions, and representations made in your license
application and supplemental correspondence with NRC may result in enforcement action
against you. This could include issuance of a notice of violation; imposition of a civil penalty; or
an order suspending, modifying, or revoking your license as specified in the NRC Enforcement
Policy. The NRC Enforcement Policy is available on the following internet address:
http://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/regulatory/enforcement/enforce-pol.html.
An electronic version of the NRCs regulations is available on the NRC Web site at
www.nrc.gov. Additional information regarding medical uses of radioactive materials may be
obtained on the NRC Web site at: http://www.nrc.gov/materials/miau/med-use-toolkit.html. This
site also provides the updated Training and Experience NRC Form 313A series of forms and
guidance, as well as information on the revised regulations for naturally-occurring and
accelerator-produced radioactive materials (NARM).
The NRC medical list server has been set up. The list server will send automatic e-mail
notifications of medical-related generic communications, Federal Register Notices, and
NMSS/FSME newsletters as they are published. Anyone may subscribe/unsubscribe to the
new medical list server by sending an e-mail to medical-gc@nrc.gov with Subscribe or
Unsubscribe in the subject line.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter and its
enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document
Room or from the NRCs document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC
Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
