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 radioactive material, your corrective steps must include prompt filing of an application for a-new license.
Since your present license has expired, your application will be processed as a request for a new license. Accordingly, you must determine if your program is subject to a license fee as required by Section 170.31 of 10 CFR Part 170 and, if one is required, submit the appropriate fee lalong with the application.
