Dear Mr. Segovia.Kane:
LHiginbothem This is in response to your letter of October 18 to Chainaan Palladino requesting assistance in the safe disposal of a quantity of waste material containing americium-241. The Comission staff has considered your proposal to return the material to EAD Metallurgical in Tonawanda New York for disposal. While your intention to return the material to EAD is understandable, we have been advised by the New York nuclear regulatory officials, who have jurisdiction over the disposition of the material within i* New York State, that EAD is no longer authorized to receive and possess material containing americium-241.
With respect to alternative disposal locations in the United States, at this time neither the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission nor any State nuclear
! regulatory agency has licensed the operator of a disposal site to receive americium-241 or any other transuranic bearing material in concentrated amounts for disposal.
h As a result of the situation described above, the Comission staff recomends that you seek either to sell these materials to someone who is licensed to receive and possess them, or to find alternate means of disposal within Mexico. Some of the material may be of low enough activity to pemit disposal as low-level waste. The Mexican Nuclear Safety and Safeguards Comission should be able to assist you in this effort.
We appreciate your cooperation and patience in-working to find a reasona%1e l
resolution of this problem. Please write to me if you have additional l questions.
