Dear Sir:

i lhe purpose of this letter is to fulfill the requirements set forth in IE Bulletin No. 79-19 (p. 3), namely, submission of a report concerning l

, the transfer, packaging, and transport of low-level radioactive waste. <

The University of Northern Iowa made no low-level radioactive waste shipments during the year 1978 and the first six months of 1979. Further-more, no liquid low-level radioactive waste was generated in that period.

Our use of radioisotopes is largely limited to a laboratory course in l radiochemical techniques. Short-lived isotopes are used, the waste being  !

allowed to decay to background in a safe holding facility. It has been three years since this course was offered. We, therefore, anticipate no accumulation of low-level solid waste and no shipments of same.

It is our understanding, in accord with the statement near the bottom of page 3 of IE Bulletin No. 79-19, that no further action on our part is .;

required.  !

Sincerely yours, gdM!%

Howard Lyon, Assistant Professor of Che.aistry
