[External_Sender] RE: Licensing Question
Hi Solomon,
Our program is interested in using a non-standard licensing condition to license a source storage container in Condition 11 of the draft of Amendment 34 of our license 3D-005-01. Can we do it this way? I have attached the license draft and the request from the licensee. Thank you.
Best wishes, Alex

Let me know if there is anything else I can do. You may also want to discuss this at the NMP meeting next week. Just let Duncan know if you want to discuss it there as well.

[External_Sender] Licensing Question
Hi Shawn,
We got a request from Electric Boat in Quonset point to add a source storage container, which had us scratching our heads a bit on how to fit such a device neatly onto a radioactive materials license.
It has a manual from QSA, but isnt exactly a device, and the existing license condition for Depleted Uranium to shield radiographic equipment works slightly but not perfectly, and we have categories to discuss which exposure devices and source changers can work with each source model but not a storage device.
We wanted the permission to use these storage containers to be obvious, so our current thought is to include them as a license condition, not just a tie-down condition. Our proposed text for Condition 11 of their license is this: 11. Licensee is authorized to use Sentinel Model SSC-2 Source Storage Container in accordance with letter dated 1 February 2024, signed by Kelly Fulton, and Sentinel Models SSC-2 & SSC-4 Source Storage Containers User Instructions, dated December 2015.
Will the NRC be OK with us using this as a license condition?
Please feel free to forward this to NRC Region I licensing staff: in our experience, it is common for them to ask for an amendment in Groton shortly after asking for one in Quonset Point. Thanks for your help on this.
Sincerely, Alexander Hamm Rhode Island Department of Health 401-222-4249
