AMENDMENT NO. 06 TO RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS LICENSE FOR NIOWAVE, INC., NRC LICENSE NO. 21-35144-04
Dear Dr. Peters:
Enclosed is Amendment No. 06 to your U.S. Nu clear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Materials License No. 21-35144-04 in accordance with your request dated April 15, 2024. Specifically, you requested changes for the licensed material and use and users in the license. Your request is available electronically from the Agencyw ide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) at Accession No. ML24107B048 (non-public).
For your information, your license is authorized for NIST traceable calibration source(s) containing polonium-209 in Item 6.Z. of the license. This was added to your license in Amendment 4 based on your request dated November 18, 2022. However, Table 6.1. of your application showed it as lead-209. Please verify your inventory and make correction, if needed, to ensure you are in compliance with terms and c onditions of the license. Additionally, based on the changes in the licensed material and use, the program codes for your license have been changed. This change will impact your annual license fee and inspection frequency. Information for the program codes, inspection priority, and annual license fee can be found on the NRCs website at: https://www.nrc.gov/materials/miau/mat-toolkits.html and https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/cfr/part171/part171-0016.html.

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 that 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 positiv e safety culture. You can access the policy statement and supporting material that may benefit your organization on NRCs safety culture Web site at https://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/regulator y/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) 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 NRCs ADAMS, the NRCs electronic document system. Pursuant to NRCs RIS 2005-31 and in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice and Procedure, the enclosed license document is exempt from public disc losure because its disclosure to unauthorized individuals could present a security vulnerability. The RIS may be located on the NRCs Generic Communications Web page under Regulatory Issue Summaries at https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/gen-comm/, and the link for frequently asked questions regarding protection of security-related sensitive information may be located at https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/sensitive-info/faq.html.
A copy of this letter will be available electr onically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the NRCs ADAMS, accessible from the NRC Web site at https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html.
