Subject:

Timely Renewal of NRC Approved Programs This distributes information about a recent event at a research reactor in NRC Region I.-

The licensee's NRC approved Quality Assurance Program for Radiation Material Pack-ages expired on December 31, 1985. No renewal request was submitted before license expiration, as provided in 10 CFR 2.106. Therefore, the licensee was not author-ized to transport licensed materials subsequent to December 31, 1985. _However, a shipment of spent fuel was made on January 27, 1986. There were no radiation control inadequacies with that shipment, but it was made without a proper license.

It is each licensee's responsibility to assure that activitics are conducted in accordance with requirements, including the Code of Federal Regulations and a valid license. Each licensee must request needed license renewals prior to their ex-piration.

All research and test reactor licensees should be aware of cxpiration dates for various prograrr.s at their facilities and.take required actions accordingly.

Sincerely, U M 'SignedBye Edward C. Wenzinger, Chief Projects Branch No. 3 DivisionofReactorProjects CC:
