- e JUL 221985 Frontier Technology Corporation ATTN: Edward F. Janzow President 2671 Crone Road Xenia, OH 45385 Gentlemen:
Enclosed is your NRC License Number SNM-1957 in accordance with your request.
Please note that we have not authorized you to perform services for licensees
.per your request of June 25, 1985. . With regard to the other conc' erns addressed in your letter, you will recall that during our phone conference of May 24, 1985, it was explained to you that the reason for the delay in issuance of this license was the complexity of the program. Indeed, this is one of the more complex license catagories that the NRC is responsible for. Region III customarily tells inquiring new license applicants that a response time of four to six weeks can be expected for new ifcense applications because this is, in fact, our average turnaround time for such licensing actions. At the end of this period a typical NRC " response" to such an application may.be the issuance of a Ifcense, a deficiency phone call or, when the deficiencies in the application are lengthly and significant, a deficiency letter. The general nature of the deficiencies in your application were explained to you during our May 24, 1985 telephone conference.
It was also explained to you at that time that, because of the length and complex nature of these deficiencies, we would defer any detailed explanation of them until you were in possession of the deficiency letter, at which time we would be happy to provide any assistance you would need to respond to our letter.
In response to items 6 and 7 of our letter you stated that it was apparently our intent to limit your " manufacturing and distribution license to specific source models and ... specific shipping containers." Upon review of our May 30, 1985 letter, we are at a loss to determine how you arrived at such a conclusion. You will note that the licensing document is devoid of such restrictions. Item 6 of our letter is intended to establish that you have some minimal criteria for shipping containers used for shipment of radioactive material, regardless of whom you are shipping to.
The information requested in Item 7 of our letter is generally of more benefit to the~ licensee than to the NRC. As was explained to you during our May 24, 1985 telephone conference, a review of an application by a specific licensee (other than an operating power reactor licensee or a Type A broadscope research and development licensee) to possess one of your sources would include referring to our Sealed Source and Device Registry to determine if the source has been approved by our Materials Certification Branch for licensing purposes. If your sources do not 8604030534 e50722 REG 3 LIC70 PDR SNM-1957 p i
Frontier Technology Corporation 2 appear in this registry, the ifcensee (your customer) would be asked to supply us with information equivalent to that requested in the enclosure which we sent to you along with our May 30, 1985 letter. As you can imagine, this would place a considerable burden on your customers as well as significantly lengthen the licensing process. Registration of your sources will effectively circumvent such delays. Note that if a manufacturer wishes to distribute to general licensees as described in 10 CFR 31.5, the Comission must make a determination that the requirements of 10 CFR 32.51(1), (2) and (3) have been satisfied. This determination is generally made by our Materials Certification Branch through the Sealed Source and Device registry system.
We regret any inconvenience the delay in obtaining your license may have caused you. We believe the infomation provided you was as accurate as could be provided at that point in time.
Please review the enclosed document carefully and be sure that you understand all conditions. You must conduct your program involving radioactive materials in accordance with the conditions of your NRC license, representations made in your license application, and NRC regulations. In 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 Radiatio ~n," and other applicable regulations.
- 2. Possess radioactive material only in the quantity and form indicated in your license.
- 3. Use radioactive material only for the purpose (s) indicated in your license.
- 4. Notify NRC in writing of any change in mailing address.
- 5. Request and obtain appropriate amendment if you plan to change ownership
{ of your organization, change locations of radioactive material, or make
! any other changes in your facility or program which are contrary to your license conditions or representations made in your ifcense application and'
! any supplemental correspondence with NRC. Any amendment request should be accompanied by the appropriate fee specified in 10 CFR Part 170.
- 6. Submit a complete renewcl application with proper fee or termination request at least 30 days before the expiration date on your license. You will receive a reminder notice approximately 90 days before the expiration date. Possession of radioactive material after your license expires is a i violation of NRC regulations.

- 7. Request termination of your license if you plan to permanently discontinue activities involving radioactive material prior to your expiration date.
You will be periodically inspected by NRC. Failure to conduct your program in accordance with NRC regulations, license conditions and representations in your license application will result in enforcement action against you in accordance with the General Policy and Procedures for NRC Enforcement Actions,10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C.
If you have any questions or require clarification of any of the above stated information, contact us at (312) 790-5625.
