5. Dr. Kcnneth Ihren is no longar caployed by the Sandwich School District, and has movei to another state. The physica pregran is now under the supervisien of Mr.

He has no specific training in the handling of radioactive materials, and is therefore not using the regulated source herein described.

use of the protection equipment and the last record of exposure was in June of 1978 when Mr. Ihren resi6ned. The materials have been in storage since then.

Your office will also be notified of our intention to transfer the material either to another educational institution or to a disposal agency so that one of your radiation specialists may sonitor the packa61ng and paperwork involved.

Sincerely, t

I
