DENVER, COLORADO 80225 OCT 2 71993 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 ~
l test material received from NRC-licensed facilities to characterize radioactive and physical properties may not have a license to receive and i
handle byproduct material. This letter is to remind you of your i
responsibilities under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and the requirements of 10 CFR 40.51.
I Paragraph 40.51 prohibits transfer of source or byproduct material to another 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 tc exempt byproduct l
material from licensing requirements.
Please note, however, this requirement l
does not include environmental samples taken for monitoring requirements.
l Laboratories in Agreement States, including Texas, Colorado, Washington, and Illinois, should be licensed by that State. All other laboratories should have a license issued by the NRC. Authority to possess and test byproduct material can, however, be included by license condition to existing source material licenses issued under 10 CFR Part 30. Typically, most laboratories l
which test radioactive materials have such licenses. ~ Accordingly, please verify that any laboratories that perform mill tailings testing for you hold a valid license.
i If you have any questions regarding this matter, you may contact me at (303) 231-5800.
Sincerely, e
e C
amon E. Hal Director
