SUBJECT:
LICENSE CONDITION FOR BYPRODUCT MATERIAL TO BE IRRADIATED IN A NON-POWER REACTOR At the Reactor Health Physics Counterpart Meeting of May 18-19, 1988, a question arose as to what the appropriate license condition should be for possession of byproduct material at non-power reactor facilities (sec item 8). The questica was prompted by a statement in guidance provided to the Regions in a memorandum dated fiarch 8,1988 (Enclosure 2).
The statement in enclosure 2 appears in item 2 and reads as follows:
...If a reactor license is silent with regard to possession of byproduct material it shall be amended...
Allnon-powerreactorlicenseshavealicenseconditionwhichpermitsth[
licensee to "possess, but not to separate such byproduct material as may have been produced by operation of the facility." This license condition, however, does not adequately cover byproduct material received at the facility which is going to be irradiated in the reactor. (Hemorandum, D.M. Crutchfield to Regions, March 8, 1988), item 3 states that -
All byproduct material which is to be inserted into a reacto,
or which is removed from the reacter, must be covered by the reactor license while the material is within the facility.
In order to satisfy this condition, the license condition dealing with 0
possession of byproduct material should be amended if a licensee receives U

byproduct material which is to be irrad hted in the reactor.
The license ccndition should read as follows:
Pursuant to the Act and 10 CFR Part 30, "Rules of General Applicability to Licensing of Byproduct flaterial," (and Part 70)*, to receive byproduct material which is to be irradiated in the reactor within 31 days of receipt, and to possess, but not separate, such byproduct (and special nuclear)* materials as may be produced by operation of the facility.
- Delete if Part 70 not applicable Licensees must request an amendment to their license to include this condition if they receive byproduct material to be irradiated by their reactor, unless the material is covered by another license before it is inserted into the reactor.
Violations involving byproduct material that is to be irradiated in a non-power reactor should generally be charged against the reactor license unless some other specific documentation has been developed by the licensee.
In this regard the statement in enclosure 2, item 3 is modified to read as follows:
All byproduct material which is to be inser+.ed into a reactor, should be covered by the reactor license; byproduct material which is removed from the reactor must be covered by the reactor license.

All byproduct material which is to be inserted into a reactor, should be covered by the reacter license; byproduct material which is removed from the reactor must be covered by the reactor license.
