He will consider this request further if you submit supporting documentation to show that the increased survey frequency will not result in a reduced level of safety.
Please review the enclosed document carefully and be sure that you understand all conditions.
You must conduct your program involving radicactive materials in accordance with the conditions of your NRC license, representations made in your license application, and NRC regulations.
In particular, note that you must:
1.
Operate in accordance with NRC regulations 10 CFR Part 19, " Notices, Instructions and Repbrts to Workers; Inspections," 10 CFR Part 20,
" Standards for Protection Against Radiation," and other bpplicable regulations.
2.
Possess radioactive r:.aterial only in the quantity and fonn indicated in your licanse.
3.
Use radioactive material only for the purpose (s) indicated in your license.
4.
Notify NRC in writing of any change in mailing address.
5.
Request and obtain appropriate amendment if you plan to change ownership of your organization, change locations of radioactive material, or make any other changes in your facility or program which are contrary to your license conditions or representations made in your license application and any supplemental correspondence with NRC.
Any anendment request should be acccr..panied by the appropriate fee specified in 10 CFR Part 170.

Glen Ellyn Illinois 60137 Gentlemen:
e This is a request to amend byproduct material license 12-509-3 to provide for an increase in half lives of materials that can be stored for decay, and to change the frequency of surveying the storage facility. Also, we are updating the membership of our committee.
Anendment rumber 38 to license 12-509-3, dated Feb 2, 1981, permits storage for decay of isotopes with half lives of 60 days or less. We respectfully request approval to store for decay all licensed material with half lives of 90 days or less. A copy of Kenneth Dam's letter, dated January 16, 1981, describing the facility and procedures is enclosed. We also request approval to increase the interval for monitoring the storage facility fron weekly to monthly. The type of materials stored and the level of activity do not require..Jekly surveys.
Also, with respect to all the university's NRC licenses, 12-509-3, 12-509-7,12-509-8,CS@f1@ and 12-1721-2, please update the membership of the University Committee-on Radiation Hazards with the addition of Dr.
Frank Fitch, Eugene Goldwasser, and Lucia Rothman-Denes. A brief biography for each of these new members is attached. The following names should be deleted from the previous list of committee members: William B. Cannon, Dr.

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Region III Licensing Branch 799 Roosevelt Road Clen Ellyn, Illinois 60137 Gentlemen:
Approval is requested to amend byproduct license 12-509-3 to permit disposal of certain radioactive materials by the " decay in storage" method as outlined in the NRC 1ctter to licensees dated June 25, 1980.
The information required in enclosure 1 to the letter is~as follows.
1.
Very short-lived isotopes decay in the laboratories in'which they'are used. This decay takes place in fume hoods or shielded caves or the lead shipping containers in which the materials
^
are received from the suppliers.
The laboratories are monitored regularly by the users (and also by the Radiation Protection Service. Other short-lived materials with half lives up to and including 60 days would be stored in a central facility.. A drawing of the facility is attached.
The floor is two feet reinforced concrete with an additional three inches of wearing surface, the' walls are constructed of four inches stone plus I.
eight inches concrete block, and the area above is open.
Since this is a one-story building, there are no occupied areas above.
The space below is occupied by Radiatica Therapy and the 50MeV linear accelerator. Note that the shielding is more than adequate to provide for the levels of activity co==only used under the University's license.
r 2.
Security for the storaEe facility is provided by locked doors.
3.
Radiation levels of the waste area will be monitored weekly.
l 4.
Haste w1]l be conitored to assute that it has decayed to background levels prior to disposal according to the following procedure:
a) waste-will be monitored in n low background area. b) a low level Geiger-Mueller type survey instrument will be used for conitoring I-125.
c) all shielding will be removed prior to monitoring.
d) a record of these surveys will be maintained as required pursuant to 10C7R20.
5.
Used Tc-99m ganerators will not be disposed of in this manner.
