NRC FORM 374A U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION MATERIALS LICENSE SUPPLEMENTARY SHEET License Number 19-23344-01 Amendment No. 30 13. The licensee shall not use the licensed material in or on humans. Docket or Reference Number 030-20775 PAGE 3 OF 6 PAGES 14. Experimental animals, or the products from experimental animals, that have been administered licensed material shall not be used for human consumption.

15. The licensee shall not use licensed material in field applications where activity is released except as provided otherwise by specific condition of this license. 16. 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. 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 32.210 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 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 1 O years without being tested for leakage and/or contamination.

NRC FORM 374A MATERIALS LICENSE SUPPLEMENTARY SHEET U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION License Number 19-23344-01 Amendment No. 30 Docket or Reference Number 030-20775 PAGE 4 OF 6 PAGES 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.

H. Records of leak test results shall be kept in units of becquerels (microcuries) and shall be maintained for 3 years. 17. Sealed sources or detector cells containing licensed material shall not be opened, or foil sources removed from detector cells by the licensee, except as specifically authorized.

18. A. Detector cells containing a titanium tritide foil or scandium tritide foil shall only be used in conjunction with a properly operating temperature control mechanism which prevents the foil temperature from exceeding that specified in the certificate of registration issued by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission pursuant to 10 CFR 32.210 or equivalentregulations from an Agreement State. B. When in use, detector cells containing a titanium tritide foil or scandium tritide foil shall be vented to the outside. 19.

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.

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:

NRC FORM 374A MATERIALS LICENSE SUPPLEMENTARY SHEET U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION License Number 19-23344-01 Amendment No. 30 Docket or Reference Number 030-20775 PAGE 5 OF 6 PAGES 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.

21. Notwithstanding the requirements of License Condition 22, the licensee is authorized to make program changes and changes to procedures specifically identified in the application dated July 20, 2015 and letter dated August 26, 2015, which were previously approved by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and incorporated into the license without prior Commission approval as long as: A.
