NRC FORM 374 PAGE 1 OF 5 PAGES U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION MATERIALS LICENSE Pursuant to the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-438), and Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter I, Parts 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 39, 40, 70 and 71, and in reliance on statements and representations heretofore made by the licensee, a license is hereby issued authorizing the licensee to receive, acquire, possess, and transfer byproduct, source, and special nuclear material designated below; to use such material for the purpose(s) and at the place(s) designated below; to deliver or transfer such material to persons authorized to receive it in accordance with the regulations of the applicable Part(s). This license shall be deemed to contain the conditions specified in Section 183 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and is subject to all applicable rules, regulations, and orders of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission now or hereafter in effect and to any conditions specified below.

3. License number: 06-09241-02

4. Expiration Date: June 30, 2033 5. Docket No.: 030-39110 Reference No.: 6. Byproduct, source, and/or special nuclear material 7. Chemical and/or physical form 8. Maximum amount that licensee 9. Authorized use may possess at any one time A. Any byproduct material specified in section 33.100, Schedule A, Column 2, 10 CFR Part 33 (Type C Broad License) A. Any under this license A. See Condition 11 A. For research and development as CONDITIONS defined in 10 CFR 30.4 including in-vitro studies; teaching and training of students; and calibration and checking of the licensee's instruments.

10. Licensed material may be used or stored at the licensee's facilities located at: Connecticut College, 270 Mohegan Avenue, New London, Connecticut, 06320-4196 NRC FORM 374A MATERIALS LICENSE SUPPLEMENTARY SHEET U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION License Number 06-09241-02 Docket or Reference Number 030-39110 PAGE 2 OF 5 PAGES 11. If only one radionuclide is possessed, the possession limit is the quantity specified for that radionuclide in 10 CFR 33.100, Schedule A, Column II. If two or more radionuclides are possessed, then the possession limit is determined as follows: For each radionuclide, determine the ratio of the quantity possessed to the applicable quantity specified in 10 CFR 33.100, Schedule A, Column II, for that radionuclide.

The sum of the ratios for all radionuclides possessed under the license shall not exceed unity. 12. Licensed material shall only be used by or under the supervision of individuals meeting the requirements stated in 1 O CFR 33.15(b) for the materials and uses as indicated.

13. The Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) for this license is Steven Langlois.

14. In addition to the possession limits in Item 8, the licensee shall further restrict the possession of licensed material to quantities below the minimum limit specified in 1 O CFR 30.35(d) for establishing decommissioning financial assurance.

15. The licensee shall not use the licensed material in or on humans. 16. The licensee shall not use licensed material in field applications where activity is released except as provided otherwise by specific condition of this license. 17. 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 State. 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. Notwithstanding Paragraph A of this Condition, sealed sources designed to primarily emit alpha particles shall be tested for leakage and/or contamination at intervals not to exceed 3 months.

NRC FORM 374A MATERIALS LICENSE SUPPLEMENTARY SHEET U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION License Number 06-09241-02 Docket or Reference Number 030-39110 PAGE 3 OF 5 PAGES C. 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 32.21 O 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 received.

D. Sealed sources need not be tested if they contain only hydrogen-3; or they contain only a radioactive gas; or the half-life of the isotope is 30 days or less; or they contain not more than 100 microcuries of beta-and/or gamma-emitting material or not more than 1 O microcuries of alpha-emitting material.

E. 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.

F. 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.

G. Tests for leakage and/or contamination, including leak test sample collection and analysis, shall be performed by the licensee or other persons specifically licensed by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission or an Agreement State to perform such services.

H. Records of leak test results shall be kept in units of becquerels (microcuries) and shall be maintained for 3 years. 18. 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.

NRC FORM 374A MATERIALS LICENSE SUPPLEMENTARY SHEET U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION License Number 06-09241-02 Docket or Reference Number 030-39110 PAGE 4 OF 5 PAGES 19. Sealed sources containing licensed material shall not be opened [Insert: or sources removed from source holders or detached from source rods, or foil sources removed from detector cells] by the licensee, except as specifically authorized.

20. The licensee is authorized to hold radioactive material with a physical half-life of less than or equal to 120 days for decay-in-storage before disposal in ordinary trash provided:

A. Before disposal as ordinary trash, the waste shall be surveyed at the container surface with the appropriate survey instrument set on its most sensitive scale and with no interposed shielding to determine that its radioactivity cannot be distinguished from background.

All radiation labels shall be removed or obliterated, except for radiation labels on materials that are within containers and that will be managed as biomedical waste after they have been released from the licensee.

B. A record of each such disposal permitted under this license condition shall be retained for 3 years. The record must include the date of disposal, the date on which the byproduct material was placed in storage, the radionuclides disposed, the survey instrument used, the background dose rate, the dose rate measured at the surface of each waste container, and the name of the individual who performed the disposal.
