Licensee is responsible for compliance with all applicable export, and other domestic regulatory requirements, including all terms and conditions of domestic material possession licenses.

Licensee must submit pertinent documentation required by 10 CFR 110.32(g) at least 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> prior to shipment. See Page 3 for Mandatory Advanced Notifications. Licensee shall submit by February 1 of each year one copy of a report of all americium shipments (under this license or under a general license) during the previous calendar year required by 10 CFR 110.54(b).

The report must include: (1) a description of the material, including quantity; (2) approximate shipment dates; and (3) a list of recipient countries, end users, and intended use keyed to the items shipped.

License expiration date is based upon established time limits for a period of 1 year from license issuance.

Neither this license nor any right under this license shall be assigned or THIS LICENSE IS INVALID UNLESS SIGNED BELOW otherwise transferred in violation of the provisions of the Atomic BY AUTHORIZED NRC REPRESENTATIVE Energy Act of 1954, as amended.

The following Advanced Notifications must be made to both the NRC and, in case of exports, the government of the importing country in advance of each shipment:

Mandatory Advanced Notifications to the NRC are to be emailed to hoo.hoc@nrc.gov (preferred method) or faxed to the NRC at 301-816-5151. In the subject line of the email or on the fax cover page include: "10 CFR 110.50(c)

Notification." For technical assistance, use the same e-mail address or call 301-287-9056.

Mandatory Advanced Notifications to the government of the importing country must be emailed or faxed to the appropriate foreign government authorities. To locate the point-of-contact for international Advanced Notifications see: http://www-ns.iaea.org/downloads/rw/imp-export/import-export-contact-points.pdf.

The sum of fractions methodology for evaluating combinations of radionuclides being transported is to be used when import or export shipments contain multiple sources or multiple radionuclides. The threshold limit values used in a sum of the fractions calculation must be the metric values (i.e., TBq).

I. If multiple sources and/or multiple radionuclides are present in an import or export shipment, the sum of the fractions of the activity of each radionuclide must be determined to verify the shipment is less than the Category 1 or 2 limits of Table 1, as appropriate. If the calculated sum of the fractions ratio, using the following equation, is greater than or equal to 1.0, then the import or export shipment exceeds the threshold limits of Table 1 and the applicable security provisions of this part apply.

II. Use the equation below to calculate the sum of the fractions ratio by inserting the actual activity of the applicable radionuclides or of the individual sources (of the same radionuclides) in the numerator of the equation and the corresponding threshold activity limit from the Table 1 in the denominator of the equation. Ensure the numerator and denominator values are in the same units and all calculations must be performed using the TBq (i.e., metric) values of Table 1.

R1 = activity for radionuclides or source number 1 AR1 = activity limit for radionuclides or source number 1 R2 = activity for radionuclides or source number 2 AR2 = activity limit for radionuclides or source number 2 RN = activity for radionuclides or source number n ARN = activity limit for radionuclides or source number n n
