Mr. Christopher V. Baxter
Radiation Safety Officer
Baxter Inc.
3591 Nebula Circle
Anchorage, AK 99517
SUBJECT: LICENSE AMENDMENT
Mr. Baxter:
Please find enclosed Amendment No. 1 to NRC License No. 50-35534-01 removing and adding
a location, as requested. In application dated December 8, 2020, you informed the U.S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission of your request to release for unrestricted use the following location
listed on the license: 6129 Petersburg Street, Anchorage, Alaska, 99507. The supporting
documentation provided by you stated that the latest leak test results indicated that there was
no leakage of radioactive material from the sealed sources. Based on this information, the staff
concluded that all licensable material has been removed from this location. Your facility located
at 6129 Petersburg Street, Anchorage, Alaska, 99507, is suitable for unrestricted use in
accordance with 10 CFR 20.1402, "Radiological Criteria for Unrestricted Use. An environmental
assessment for this action is not required since this action is categorically excluded under 10
CFR 51.22(c)(20)(ii). You should review this license carefully and be sure that you understand
all conditions. You can contact me at 817-200-1127 if you have any questions about this
license.
The NRCs Safety Culture Policy Statement became effective in June 2011. While a policy
statement is 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 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.
NRC expects licensees to conduct their programs with meticulous attention to detail and a high
standard of compliance. Because of the serious consequences to employees and the public
that can result from failure to comply with NRC requirements, you must conduct your radiation
safety program according to the conditions of your NRC license, representations made in your
license application, and NRC regulations. In particular, note that you must:
1.
Operate by NRC regulations 10 CFR Part 19, Notices, Instructions and Reports to
Workers: Inspection and Investigations, 10 CFR Part 20, Standards for Protection
Against Radiation, and other applicable regulations.
2.
Notify NRC in writing of any change in mailing address.

3.
In accordance with 10 CFR 30.36(d), notify NRC, promptly, in writing within 60 days, and
request termination of the license:
a.
When you decide to terminate all activities involving materials authorized under
the license whether at the entire site or any separate building or outdoor area;
b.
If you decide not to acquire or possess and use authorized material; or
c.
When no principal activities under the license have been conducted for a period
of 24 months.
4.
Request and obtain a license amendment before you:
a.
Change Radiation Safety Officers;
b.
Order byproduct material in excess of the amount, radionuclide or form
authorized on the license;
c.
Add or change the areas or address(es) 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 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 violation of NRC regulations.
NRC will periodically inspect your radiation safety program. Failure to conduct your program
according to NRC regulations, license conditions, and representations made in your license
application and supplemental correspondence with NRC may result in enforcement action
against you. This could include issuance of a notice of violation; imposition of a civil penalty; or
an order suspending, modifying, or revoking your license as specified in the NRC Enforcement
Policy. The NRC Enforcement Policy is available on the following internet address:
www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/regulatory/enforcement/enforce-pol.html.
An electronic version of the NRCs regulations is available on the NRC Web site at
www.nrc.gov. Additional information regarding use of radioactive materials may be obtained on
the NRC Web site at https://www.nrc.gov/materials/miau/mat-toolkits.html. This site also
provides the link to the toolbox for updated information on the revised regulations for naturally-
occurring and accelerator-produced radioactive materials (NARM).
