SUBJECT: LICENSE AMENDMENT

Please find enclosed License No. 50-29001-01. You should review this license

carefully and be sure that you understand all conditions. If you have any

questions, you may contact the reviewer who signed your license at

(510) 975-0250.

NRC expects licensees to conduct their programs with meticulous attention to

detail and a high standard of compliance. Because of the serious consequences

to employees and the public which can result from failure to comply with NRC

requirements, you must conduct your program involving radioactive 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 Reports to Workers: Inspection and Investigations,"

10 CFR Part 20, " Standards for Protection Against Radiation," and other

applicable regulations.

2. Possess radioactive material only in the quantity and form indicated in

your license.

3. Use radioactive material only for the purpose (s) indicated in your

license.

4. Notify NRC in writing of any change in mailing address (no fee required

if the location of radioactive material remains the same).

5. Request and obtain written NRC consent before transferring your license

or any right thereunder, either voluntarily or involuntarily, directly

or indirectly, through transfer of control of your license to any person

or entity. A transfer of control of your license includes not only a

total change of ownership, but also a change in the controlling interest

in your company whether it is a corporation, partnership, or other

entity. In addition, appropriate license amendments must be requested

I

i and obtained for any other planned changes in your facility or program

that are contrary to your license or contrary to representations made in

. yoar license application, as well as supplemental correspondence

,

thereto, which are incorporated into your license. A license fee may be

-

charged for the amendments if you are not in a fee-exempt category.

6. Maintain in a single document decommissioning records that have been ,

'

certified for completeness and accuracy listing all the following items

,

applicable to the license:

.

• Onsite areas designated or formerly designated as restricted areas I

as defined in 10 CFR 20.3(a)(14) or 20.1003. l

• Onsite areas, other than restricted areas, where radioactive

materials in quantities greater than amounts listed in Appendix C

,

to 10 CFR 20.1001-20.2401 have been used, possessed, or stored.

• Onsite areas, other than restricted areas, where spills or other

unusual occurrences involving the spread of contamination in and

around the facility, equipment, or site have occurred that

required reporting pursuant to 10 CFR 30.50(b)(1) or (b)(4), i

including areas where subsequent cleanup procedures have removed

the contamination.

• Specific locations and radionuclide contents of previous and

current burial areas within the site, excluding radioactive

material with half-lives of 10 days or less, depleted uranium used

only for shielding or as penetrators in unused munitions, or i

sealed sources authorized for use at temporary job sites. l

• Location and description of all contaminated equipment involved in

licensed operations that is to remain onsite after license

termination.

7. Submit a complete renewal application with proper fee, or termination

request at least 30 days before the expiration date on your license.

You will receive a reminder notice approximately 90 days before the

expiration date. Possession of radioactive material after your license

expires is a violation of NRC regulations.

8. Request termination of your license if you plan to permanently

discontinue activities involving radioactive material.

.

.

Department of the Interior -3-

Alaska Science Center

You will be periodically inspected by NRC. Failure to conduct your program in i

accordance with NRC regulations, license conditions, and representations made

in your license application and supplemental correspondence with NRC will

result in enforcement action against you. This could include issuance of a

notice of violation; imposition of a civil penalty; or an order suspending,

modifying, or revoking your license as specified in the " General Statement of

Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions" (Enforcement Policy), 60 FR

34381, June 30, 1995.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Dear Ms. Prange:

As per our phone conversation of 19 Sept., please find enclosed materials in

support for our application for ammendment of our materials license (No. 50-29001-

01).- Enclosed is information pertaining to item #8 of the application materials (training )

for individuals working in cr frequenting restricted areas). Specifically, our current -

license stipulates that " licensed material shall be used by, or under the supervision of,

Kim Scribner, PhD, Judy Gust, or Ray Fields". Judy Gust and Ray Fields have both

recently left our program and have been replaced by two additional personnel  ;

(George Sage and John Pearse). Both have considerable experience (detailed

below) and skills in instrument calibration and use, survey and dosimetry

methodology, and in the handling, storage, and disposal of 32P and3 5S. I would ask

that based on their backgrounds (see attached), they be added to our site license and

that Fields and Gust be deleted. All other items on our license are current. '

Please be advised that our agency, The National Biological Service will as of

October 1,1996 become incorporated into a new division within the U.S. Geological

Survey. Our new agency title (as detailed on the application) is the Alaska Science

Center, Biological Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Sincerely,

Jh

Kim Scribner
