SUBJECT:
TRIP REPORT Purpose To become familiar with Teledyne Isotopes' nuclear activities with licensed material and to discuss the licensee's renewal application of Materials License No. SNM-107.
Place & Date Teledyne Isotopes, Westwood, NJ; March 26, 1981.
Discussion j
On March 26, 1981 I went to Teledyne Isotopes, Westwood, New Jersey and met with the following Teledyne staff: Dr. Donald Schutz, President of Teledyne
~
Isotopes; Mr. Steven Bleck, Radiation Safety Officer; and Mr. Lewis Casabona, Manager of the Mass Spectrometry Service Department.
They showed me through all the areas where the licensed materials are being handled, and they explained in detail the radiation safety controls procedure for the use of the material in each area. The areas I visited am the Chemistry Laboratories and the Mass Spectrometry Laboratory.
The equipment seen and description provided are in accord with the information provided in the application. The licensee's major activity under this license is providing service for determining the uraniun content and isotopic composition of the sample by the mass spectrometry method. The sample is prepared in a well ventilated and filtered hood of the Chemistry laboratory, and the quantity of radioactive material contained in each' sample is only a l
fraction of one milligram.
In the discussion with the licensee about their renewal application, Mr. Black told me that since their last subnission of the renewal application dated j
j November 27, 1978, several items in the original application are no longer applicable. Accordingly, the licensee will update their renewal application and resubmit to NRC. It was also agreed that the following additional informa-tion will be incorporated in the updated renewal application and that it will i
i be submitted to NRC by April 16, 1981.
