SUBJECT:

GROUP 9 LABORATORIES RELEASED FOR UNRESTRICTED USE

}

(TAC NO. L31027)

Dear Dr. Asmussen:

In accordance with your application dated July 17,1997, and pursuant to Part 70 to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Materials License SNM-696 is hereby amended to delete the Group 9 laboratories as places of authorized use of licensed materials and to allow their unrestricted use.

We have reviewed your request to remove the Group 9 Laboratories from your license and release them for unrestricted use along with reviewing the report entitled " Decontamination of Selected General Atomics' Science Laboratories for Release to Unrestricted Use (Group 9)."

Our review has determin ad that there is reasonable assurance that the release of the Group 9 Laboratories for unrestricted use will not adversely affect public health and safety or the )

environment. NRC considers this release a final action. Additional clean-up of these areas will l only be required if, based on new information, the NRC determines that the release criteria established in " Guidelines for Decontamination of Facilities and Equipment Prior to Release for Unrestricted Use or Termination of Licenses for Byproduct, Source, or Special Nuclear Material," dated April 1993, were not met, and residual radioactivity remaining at the sita could result in a significant threat to public health and safety.

f Accordingly, Safety License Condition S-1 has been revised to include the date of July 17, 1997.
