SUBJECT: AMENDMENT NO. 9 TO RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS LICENSE FOR ALASKA
NATIVE MEDICAL CENTER, NRC LICENSE NO. 50-27784-01
Dear Christopher Matthews:
Please find enclosed Amendment No. 9 to NRC License No. 9 authorizing a new
radiation safety officer and authorized user, as requested in your letter dated
September 26, 2023. An environmental assessment for this licensing action is not
required since this action is categorically excluded under 10 CFR 51.22(c)(14)(iv). You
should review this license carefully and be sure that you understand all conditions. You
can contact me at 817-200-1546 if you have any questions about this license.
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.
By 10 CFR 30.36(d) and/or license condition, notify NRC, promptly, in writing,
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.
In accordance with 10 CFR 35.14, notify the NRC no later than 30 days after:
a.
The date that the licensee permits an individual to work as an authorized
user, an authorized nuclear pharmacist or an authorized medical physicist
under 10 CFR 35.13(b)(1) through (b)(4);
b.
An authorized user, an authorized nuclear pharmacist, a Radiation Safety
Officer, or an authorized medical physicist permanently discontinues
duties under the license or has a name change;
c.
The licensees mailing address changes;
d.
The licensees name changes, but the name change does not constitute a
transfer of control of the license as described in 10 CFR 30.34(b); or
e.
The licensee has added to or changed the areas of use identified in the
application or on the license where byproduct material is used in
accordance with either 35.100 or 35.200.
5.
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, except for areas of use where byproduct
material is used only in accordance with either 10 CFR 35.100 or 35.200; or
d.
Change the name or ownership of your organization.
6.
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.
In addition, please note that NRC Form 313 requires the applicant, by signature, to verify
that the applicant understands that all statements contained in the application are true
and correct to the best of the applicants knowledge. The signatory for the application
should be the licensee or certifying official rather than a consultant. Since the NRC also
accepts a letter requesting amendment of an NRC license, the signatory for such a
request should also be the licensee or certifying official rather than a consultant.
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
