Radiation Safety Officer Niowave, Inc.

Dear Dr. Peters:

Enclosed is your NRC Materials License No. 21-35144-04 in accordance with your request.

Please note that, the decommissioning financial assurance related to this license is pending the review under Mail Control No. 610414. We may contact you for additional information, if needed, and will inform you in writing of the approval of the decommissioning financial assurance instrument when the review is completed.

Please review the enclosed document carefully and be sure that you understand all conditions.

If there are any errors or questions, please notify the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Region III office at (630) 829-9887 so that we can provide appropriate corrections and answers.

An environmental assessment for this action is not required, since this action is categorically excluded under Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Section 51.22(c).

Please be advised that your license expires at the end of the day, in the month, and year stated in the license. Unless your license has been terminated, you must conduct your program involving byproduct 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 Radiation," and other applicable regulations.

2. Notify NRC, in writing, within 30 days:

a. when the Radiation Safety Officer permanently discontinues performance of duties under the license or has a name change; or

b. when the mailing address listed on the license changes.

3. In accordance with 10 CFR 30.36(d) and/or license condition, notify NRC, promptly, in writing, and request termination of the license:

W. Peters the license; or

b. if you decide not to complete the facility, acquire equipment, or possess and use authorized material.

4. Request and obtain a license amendment before you:

a. change Radiation Safety Officers;

b. order byproduct material in excess of the amount, or radionuclide, or form different than authorized on the license;

c. add or change the areas of use, or addresses of use identified in the license application or on the license; or

d. change the name or ownership of your organization.

5. Submit a complete renewal application or termination request at least 30 days before the expiration date of your license. You will receive a reminder notice approximately 90 days before the expiration date. Possession of byproduct material after your license expires is a violation of NRC regulations.

You will be periodically inspected by NRC. Failure to conduct your program in accordance with NRC regulations, license conditions, and representations made in your license application and supplemental correspondence with NRC will result in enforcement action against you. This could include issuance of a notice of violation, or imposition of a civil penalty, or an order suspending, modifying or revoking your license as specified in the General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions. Since serious consequences to employees and the public can result from failure to comply with NRC requirements, prompt and vigorous enforcement action will be taken when dealing with licensees who do not achieve the necessary meticulous attention to detail and the high standard of compliance which NRC expects of its licensees.

The NRCs Safety Culture Policy Statement became effective in June 2011. While a policy statement and not a regulation, it sets forth the agencys expectations for individuals and organizations to establish and maintain a positive safety culture. You can access the policy statement and supporting material that may benefit your organization on NRCs safety culture Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/regulatory/enforcement/safety-culture.html. We strongly encourage you to review this material and adapt it to your particular needs in order to develop and maintain a positive safety culture as you engage in NRC-regulated activities.

NRCs Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2005-31 provides criteria to identify security-related sensitive information and guidance for handling and marking of such documents. This ensures that potentially sensitive information is not made publicly available through ADAMS, the NRCs electronic document system. Pursuant to NRCs RIS 2005-31 and in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, the enclosed license document is exempt from public disclosure because its disclosure to unauthorized individuals could present a security vulnerability. The RIS may be located on the NRC Web site at: https://www.nrc.gov/docs/ML1619/ML16196A237.pdf and the link for
