SUBJECT:

LICENSE AMENDMENT Please find enclosed License No. SNM-200. You should review this license carefully and be sure that you understand all conditions. If you have any questions, you may contact the l

reviewer who signed your license at 817-860-8132.

I 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 which can result from failure to comply with NRC requirements, you must conduct your program l

involving radioactive materials in accordance with the conditions of your NRC license, i

representations made in your license application, and NRC regulations. In particular, note that i

you must:

1.

Operate in accordance with 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.

Possess radioactive material only in the quantity and form indicated in your license.

3.

Use radioactive material only for the purpose (s) indicated in your license.

4.

Notify NRC in writing of any change in mailing address (no fee required if the location of radioactive material remains the same).

5.

Request and obtain written NRC consent before transferring your license or any right thereunder, either voluntarily or involuntarily, directly or indirectly, through transfer of control of your license to any person or entity. A transfer of control of your license includes not only a total change of ownership, but also a change in the controlling interest in your company whether it is a corporation, partnership, or other entity. In addition, appropriate license amendments must be requested and obtained for any other planned changes in your facility or program that are contrary to your license or contrary to representations made in your license application, as well as supplemental correspondence thereto, which are incorporated into your license. A license fee may be charged for the amendments if you are not in a fee-exempt category.

6.

Maintain in a single document decommissioning records that have been certified for comp!eteness and accuracy listing all the following items applicable to the license:

Onsite areas designated or fccmerly designated as restricted areas as defined in

+

10 CFR 20.3(a)(14) or 20.1003.

)

South Dakota State University Onsite areas, other than restricted areas, where radioactive materials in quantities greater than amounts listed in Appendix C to 10 CFR 20.1001-20.2401 have been used, possessed, or stored.

Onsite areas, other than restricted areas, where spills or other unusual occurrences involving the spread of contamination in and around the facility, equipment, or site have occurred that required reporting pursuant to 10 CFR 30.50(b)(1) or (b)(4), including areas where subsequent cleanup procedures have removed the contamination.

Specific locations and radionuclides contents of previous and current burial areas within the site, excluding radioactive material with half-lives of 10 days or less, depleted uranium used only for shielding or as penetrators in unused munitions, or sealed sources authorized for use at temporary job sites.

Location and description of all contaminated equipment involved in licensed operations that is to remain onsite after license termination.

7.

Submit a complete renewal application with proper fee, 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.

8.

Request termination of your license if you plan to permanently discontinue activities involving radioactive material.

You will be periodically inspected by NRC. Failure to conduct your program in accordance with NRC regulations, license conditions, and representations made in your license application and supplemental correspondence with NRC will 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 as specified in the " General Statement of Policy j

and Procedure for NRC Enforcernent Actions"(Enforcement Policy), NUREG 1600.

Thank you for your cooperation.
