3 SNM-164 070-00190 Amendment No. 20 CONDITIONS
- 10. Licensed material shall be used or stored at the licensee's facilities located at: 620 Michigan Avenue, NE, Washington, District of Columbia, 20064 11.
Licensed material shall only be used by, or under the supervision of, individuals designated, in writing, by the Radiation Safety Committee.
The licensee shall maintain records of individuals designated as users for 3 years after the individual's last use of licensed material.
- 12. The Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) for this license is Mahmoud S Haleem.
- 13. The licensee shall not use the licensed material in or on humans.
- 14. The licensee shall not use licensed material in field applications where activity is released except as provided otherwise by specific condition of this license.
- 15. A.
Sealed sources and detector cells shall be tested for leakage and/or contamination at intervals not to exceed the intervals specified in the certificate of registration issued by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission under 10 CFR 32.210 or by an Agreement State. In the absence of a registration certificate, sealed sources shall be tested for leakage and/or contamination at intervals not to exceed 6 months, or at such other intervals as specified.
B.
Notwithstanding Paragraph A of this Condition, sealed sources designed to primarily emit alpha particles shall be tested for leakage and/or contamination at intervals not to exceed 3 months.
C. In the absence of a certificate from a transferor indicating that a leak test has been made within the intervals specified in the certificate of registration issued by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission under 10 CFR 32.210 or by an Agreement State, prior to the transfer, a sealed source received from another person shall not be put into use until tested and the test results received.

4 SNM-164 070-00190 Amendment No. 20 D. Sealed sources need not be tested if they contain only hydrogen-3; or they contain only a radioactive gas; or the half-life of the isotope is 30 days or less; or they contain not more than 100 microcuries of beta-and/or gamma-emitting material or not more than 10 microcuries of alpha-emitting material.
E.
Sealed sources need not be tested if they are in storage and are not being used. However, when they are removed from storage for use or transferred to another person, and have not been tested within the required leak test interval, they shall be tested before use or transfer. No sealed source shall be stored for a period of more than 10 years without being tested for leakage and/or contamination.
F.
The leak test shall be capable of detecting the presence of 185 becquerels (0.005 microcuries) of radioactive material on the test sample. If the test reveals the presence of 185 becquerels (0.005 microcuries) or more of removable contamination, a report shall be filed with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission in accordance with 10 CFR 30.50(c)(2), and the source shall be removed immediately from service and decontaminated, repaired, or disposed of in accordance with Commission regulations.
G. Tests for leakage and/or contamination, including leak test sample collection and analysis, shall be performed by the licensee or other persons specifically licensed by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission or an Agreement State to perform such services.
H. Records of leak test results shall be kept in units of becquerels (microcuries) and shall be maintained for 3 years.
- 16. The licensee shall conduct a physical inventory every 6 months, or at other intervals approved by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, to account for all sealed sources and/or devices received and possessed under the license. Records of inventories shall be maintained for 3 years from the date of each inventory, and shall include the radionuclides, quantities, manufacturer's name and model numbers, and the date of the inventory.
- 17. Sealed sources containing licensed material shall not be opened by the licensee, except as specifically authorized.
