facility at 4055 Tudor Center Drive, Anchorage, Alaska. The facility at 225 Eagle Street,

Anchorage, Alaska, was not deleted from the license at this time. As was discussed in a

telephone conversation with you on July 11,1997, additional information needs to be

submitted to demonstrate that the facility at 225 Eagle Street satisfies the current NRC

release limits. Specifically, you should submit the following information under separate

cover:

1. A description of the facility at 225 Eagle Street, indicating areas of use and storage

of licensed material.

2. A history of the facility, including a description of the licensed materials used,

amounts used, and any spills. Specify the last date of use of licensed material.

3. A description of the counting equipment used, standards used (including NIST

traceability), minimum detectable activities, efficiencies for the materials of interest,

and the applicable release limita as stated in the guidelincs for decontamination

(copy enclosed).

.

4. Provide both radiation level and contamination wipe survey results, as well as

calibration information for the portable survey instrumentation.

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

Re Licence No 50-23224-01_

Dear Mr. Montgomery:

The Center for Disease Conirol and Prevention's Arctic Investigations Program relocated to a new facility May 21

1997.

The new address to appear on the licence:

Department of Health and lluman Services

Arctic Investigations Program

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

4055 Tudor Center Drive

Anchorage AK 99518

The old facility located at 225 Eagle Street Anchorage AK 99501 was vacated May 21 1997. This facility will be

excessed.

The areas where radioisotopes were used were decontaminated prior to vacation. All areas were cleaned with a

detergent based cleaner Alconox, Count-Off(liquid radioactive decontaminant), and Envirocide(Disinfectant). All

surfaces were monitored using the wipe method and contamination quantitatively monitored in our LKB 1272

Clinigama counter.

Final Survey results:

Blank i 1.4 cpm

Hood area 4.5 cpm

Sink 13.5 cpm

Floor 6.5 cpm

Gamma counter 15.5 cpm

Quick wash 5.5 cpm

Bench area 7.5 cpm

'

g .

~

f

Solid waste materials that had decayed to background <50 cpm using a Ludlum survey meter were incinerated via

commercial contractor. One container (33 gal metal trash cans) of solid waste with above background counts, and

radioactive standards were transfer to the new facility. No radioactive material remains at the old facility.

Amendments to Current Licence:

9. Facilities and equipment:

The new facility contains 6000 square fl of acens controlled laboratory space including a 99 sq ft

radioisotope room, with a locking door. The aiillow is negative with respect to the outer laboratory. The

radioisotope room contains a Hamilton Safeatre Chemical fume hood vented to the exterior through an in-

line charcoal filter. The hood contains a drain directly plumbed to the sewage system for disposal ofliquid

waste (<100uCi/L). An under counter refrigerator is located in the radioisotope room for storage of

radioisotopes. This is the only room where work with radioisotopes will be performed. Solid waste stored

for decay is contained in a lockable metal dumpster inside a locked metal cage. Instrumentation includes an

LKB Clinigama counter with internal standardization. An external standard source is also used. Other

monitoring systems include a Eberline ESP-1 GM counter with an IIP 260 probe and a back-up Ludlum

survey meter Model 2. Calibrations and servicing is provided annually by a Technical Services Group inc.

Lawrenceville Ga. We also have a Atomlab 900 thyroid scanner for monitoring personnel during radio 1

labeling experiments.  !

l

!

A diagram of the laboratory area and the radioisotope room with monitoring areas marked are enclosed.

l

All other procedures remain as written.

We require an amended licence with the new address as soon as possible so that we can resume or laboratory j

operation. l
