%' e,% # ',o URAN!UM RECOVERY FIELD OFFICE box 25325 DENVER, COLORADO 83225 0CT 0 51933 LETTER FOR: Uranium Recovery Field Office Licensees on Attached List
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
It has come to our attention that some of the commercial laboratories that test mill tailings to characterize radioactive and physical properties may not have a license to receive and handle byproduct material. This letter is to remind you of your responsibilities under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and the requirements of 10 CFR 40.51.
Paragraph 40.51 prohibits transfer of source or byproduct material to another i
person or facility unless they hold a valid license. This requirement applies to small quantities of tailings that would be sent to a laboratory for testing or to any other facility because there is no provision to exempt byproduct material from licensing requirements.
Laboratories in Agreement States, including Texas, Colorado, Washington, and Illinois, should be licensed by that State. All other laboratories should have a specific license issued by the NRC. Accordingly, please verify that any laboratories that perform mill tailings testing for you hold a valid license.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, you may contact me at (303) 231-5800.
j Sincerely, Y
Ramon E. Hall Director
