In three letters, dated February 27, August 1, and August 14 (all 1995), Prof. Lawrence A.
Hitchingham (currently listed as the sole authorized user) attempted to modify our license in such a rnanner as to have me included as an authorized user, due to his then-impending retirement.
Unfortunately, these appears to have been a misunderstanding; while I was added to the hcense as 1
radiation safety officer, I was not included as an authorized user.
Prof. Hitchingham's retirement was effective at the end of August 1996, and 1 am scheduled to perform a lab in which the PuDe source will be used daring the first week offebruary 1997. Prof.
Rhchingharn stilllives in the area, and he has agreed to come in and operate the source fbr that lab, but the situation is clearly inconvenient for the both ofus. I hereby request that i be added to the license as an authnrized user as noon as possible. A brief overview of my backgiound was in-ciuded in Prof Hitchingham's letter of Febmary 27,1995, and is reproduced on the next page.
Both Prof. Hitchingham and myself apologize for our part in helping to create this misunder-standing, and we hnpe that the situation can be rectified as quickly as possible.

I have over 70 semester hourne of coursework m Physics, includmg 15 semester hours of coursework in Modern Physics. X Ray Physics, and Quantum Physics.
I was licensed in the use of X-Ray equipment while working as a sesearch aalstant at Arieona State University, I worked closely with Proc Hitchin;; ham (currently the authorized user) for seven years, be-e coming familiar with the safe use and operation of the sources, as well as becoming familiar with monitoring and leak testing procedures. Under Prof. Hitchingham's r.npenwon, I have beat using the sources and performing various monitoring tests during this time.
I have becn the radiation safety officer for this license as of July 29,1996.
11 Addition of Co-60 source to License During our most recent inspection (1/24/97) the mspection otticer, Mr Mark Mitchell, and myself came anoa a Co 60 hource with a listed activity of 2 mCl as of 7/27/74, making the estimated current activity approximately 100 pCi Neither i nor Psof Hitchingham have evei used this source, and we are still uncertain as to how it came to be in our possession Since it is in our pes-session, however, we will need to modify our licer.se so as to reflect this fact. Again, let me stress that neither I nor Prof Hitchingham have ever used this source, and I have no intention of doing so in the fisture We are rarjucsting only the permission to store it here at our lacility. We apolo-gize for our oversight hi this matter; I assure you it was not intentional. Also, I would hke to point out that the source is, and has been, stored in a safe and appropriate manner.
Thank you for your ascistance in these two matters. If you require more information, please fool free to call my ottee at (517) 796-S583, fax me at (517) 796-8637, or e-mail me at.

Dear Professor De Marco:
t Enclosed is Amendment No. 07 to your NRC Material License No. SNM-1171 in accordance with your request.
Please review the enclosed document carefully and be sure that you understand all
{
- conditions. If there are any errors or questions, please notify the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Region ill office at (630) 829-9887 so that we can provide appropriate corrections and answers.
it is our understanding based on our telecon on March 24,1997, that you intend to transfer / dispose of the cobalt 60 licensed material within twenty four months and that you will promptly notify us in writing when it is no longer in your possession.
]
Please be advised that your license expires at the end of the day, in the month, and year stated in the license. Unless your license has been terminated, you must conduct your j
program involving byproduct materials in accordance with the conditions of your NRC license, representations made in your license application, and NRC regulations. In j
particular, note that you must:
]
1.
Operate in accordance with NRC regulations 10 CFR Part 19, " Notices, instructions and Reports to Workers; Inspections," 10 CFR Part 20, " Standards for Protection
)
Against Radiation," and other applicable regulations.
]
2.
Notify NRC, in writing, within 30 days:
a.
When the Radiation Safety Officer permanently discontinues performance of duties under the license or has a name change; or b.
When the mailing address listed on the license changes. (No fee is required if the location of byproduct material remains the same.)
3.
In accordanca with 10 CFR 30.36(b) and/or license condition, notify NRC, promptly, in writing, and request termination of the license when a decision is made to terminate all activities involving materials authorized under the license.
4.
Request and obtain a license amendment before you:
a.
Change Radiation Safety' Officers; 176/
JD#
E p
/
=.
,U V
C. De Marco b.
Order byproduct materialin excess of the amount, or radionuclide, or form different than authorized on the license; c.
Add or change the areas of use or address or addresses of uso identified in the license application or on the license; or d.
Change ownership of your organization.
5.
Submit a complete renewal application with proper fee or termination request at least 30 days before the expiration date of your license. You will receive a reminder notice approximately 90 days before the expiration date. Possession of byproduct material after your license expires is a violation of NRC regulations. A license will not normally be renewed, except on a case-by-case basis, in instances where licensed material has never been possessed or used.
In addition, please note that NRC Form 313 requires the applicant, by his/her signature, to verify that the applicant understands that all statements contained in the application are true and correct to the best of the applicant's knowledge. The signatory for the application should be the licensee or certifying official rather than a consultant.
You will be periodically inspected by NRC. Failure to conduct your program in 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, or imposition of a civil penalty, or an order suspending, modifying or revoking your license as speciiied in the General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions. Since serious consequences to employees and the public can result from failure to comply with NRC requirements, prompt and vigorous enforcernent action will be taken when dsaling with licensees who do not achieve the necessary meticulous attention to detail and the high standard of compliance which NRC expects of its licensees.
Sincerely, Original Signed By Loren J. Hueter Nuclear Materials Licensing Branch License No.: SNM-1171 Docket No.: 070-01228
