Division of Radioactive Materials Department of Nuclear Safety 1035 Outer Park Drive Springfield,IL 62704
Dear Mr. Kl.nger:
This is in response to your May 26,1998, letter regarding the " Draft Update of Standard License Conditions." We appreciate your comments on this document. The following are l responses to your specific requests /comrnents:
l l 1. Please provide a copy of P&GD 1-26 that you have referenced throughout this draft
- regarding issuance of exemptions by the regions.
Response: A copy of P&GD 1-26 is enclosed.
- 2. We find Condition 20 very helpful and plan to implement a similar condition for high l dose rate afterloader (HDR) medical physicists. Would you please send us a copy i of the Technical Assistance Request and the response to this request for Region til that i is referenced here?
! Response: A copy of Technical Assistance Request and the response to this request
[ for Region 111 is enclosed.
- 3. In Conditions 84-92, please describe the history that led to the development of these conditions for non-human use of teletherapy units. We have been using modified medical requirements to provide for radiation safety aspects of this use while relieving the users of most of the human use/ quality control requirements. ,
I Response: When a teletherapy unit is used for non-human use, it essentially becomes I
. an irradiator. These conditions were developed to relieve licensees, using a l
teletherapy unit for non-human use, from complying with the requirements in 10 CFR Part 36," Licenses and Radiation Safety Requirements for
{' } J Irradiators." ]
l 4. In Condition 133, are the dose rates noted in item 1 consistent with those found in the device registries for HDR's or does this have to be modified for each type?
r Response: The condition will need to be modified with each type of HDR authorized. .

- 5. Please clarify the intent of Condition 174. Is it to be used for every licensee possessing a sealed source or device, and, if so, why?
l Response: This condition has been deleted. The regions have been informed that this l condition should not be used as there is a conflict with 10 CFR 32.210.
l 6. The Department has a condition limiting licensees to receipt, possession or transfer of l not greater than 999 kilograms of depleted uranium for shielding purposes. We believe this conodion is an old NRC condition which is no longer necessary and, therefore, does not appear in your latest draft. Please confirm that this is the case and not merely l an oversight, i 1 Response: You are correct. This condition has become obsolete and has been deleted.
i i 7. At one time, the NRC had several conditions regaraing decommissioning of licensed
! facilities. There are also conditions listed in P&G 94-02 for Remediation Contractors.
Please indicate what has happened to thoe as they do not appear in this draft.
Response: This omission was an oversight. These conditions will be included in the final document. Thank you for bringing this omission to our attention. 1 If you have any questions regarding these responses, please contact Patricia M. Vacherlon at (301) 415-6376, E-mail PMV@ NRC. Gov.
