WJ P 19G2 Docket No. 70-02243 Inquiry No. 82-01 New Jersey Institute of Technology License No. SNM-1681 ATTN:

Prof. Benjamin Stevenson Expiration Date:

10/31/81 323 High Street Newark, New Jersey 07102 Gentlemen:

SUBJECT:

N0ilCE OF VIOLATION This refers to the telephone discussion between Dr. L. F. Friedman of this office and yourself on February 4,1982. The subject of the discussion was the fact that NRC records show that the Special Nuclear Material License identified above has expired and no renewal application has been filed in accordance with Section 70.33 of Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 70.

From our discussions we learned that you still possess material which requires a specific NRC license.

Your possession of that material without a valid, specific license is a violation of Section 70.3 of 10 CFR Part 70. Section 70.3 states:

"No person subject to the regulations in this part shall receive title to, own, acquire, deliver, receive, possess, use, or transfer special nuc.iear material except as authorized in a license issued by the Commission pursuant to these regulations."

This Notice of Violation is sent to you under the provisions of Section 2.201 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," Part 2, Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations.

Section 2.201 requires you to submit to this office a written statement or explanation in reply including:

(1) corrective steps which have been taken by you, and (2) corrective steps which will be taken to avoid this happening in the future.

Since you plan to continue possession of radioact!ve material, your corrective steps must include prompt filing of an application for a new license.

Also, you must immediately place the radioactive material on hand in secure storage until such time as you acquire a valid license.

No other use of the material on hand or purchase of additional material is authorized.

Include a statement in your reply to this Notice of Violation confirming that you have taken this action and describing the controls that will be exercised over the stored material until such time that you obtain a valid license.
