Jource Material License No. 2B-293 was issued to United Nuclear Corp. for activities at the Eematite, Missouri site, with expiration date of 12-31-61.

Source Material License No. C-5308 has been retained for activities perfomed by the Mallinckrodt Chemical Works at the St. Louis site j

dtich is not involved in the merger with United Nuclear Corporation.

J An allocation of material is not requested, i

l Adequate corporate data have been presented in the May 9 supplement to their application.

l, Based upon our review of the infomation furnished by the applicant, it is hereby detemined that the applicant is qualified by reasons of training and experience to use the source and special nuclear material for the purpose requested.

The licensing action at thir time involves only a change in oor-porate name for the licenses involved ar.a the licensee's predecessors pro-posed procedures, facilities and equipment remain unchanged in this transfer of activities and are adequate to protect health and minimize danger to life i

and property.
