Dear Mr. Decker:
Please find enclosed Amendment Number 17 to NRC License Number 50-23289-01

and model number information, adjusts maximum activity per source, and updates
device manufacturers name in accordance with information from sealed source and
device registration certificate MA-1396-D-101-B dated February 20, 2018. An
environmental assessment for this action is not required since this licensing action is

document carefully and be sure that you understand all conditions. You can contact me
at 817-200-1189 if you have any questions about this license.

Please review your license and notify this office if you have any discrepancies or

The NRCs Safety Culture Policy Statement became effective in June 2011. While a
policy statement is not a regulation, it sets forth the agencys expectations for individuals
and organizations to establish and maintain a positive safety culture. You can access
the policy statement and supporting material that may benefit your organization on
NRCs safety culture Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/about-
nrc/regulatory/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.

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. 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; or
d. Change the name or ownership of your organization.
5. 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
as specified in the NRC Enforcement Policy. The NRC Enforcement Policy is available
at: http://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/regulatory/enforcement/enforce-pol.html.
An electronic version of the NRCs regulations is available on the NRC Web site at
www.nrc.gov. Additional information regarding use of radioactive materials may be
obtained on the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/materials/miau/mat-toolkits.html.
This site also provides the link to the toolbox for updated information on the revised
regulations for naturally-occurring and accelerator-produced radioactive materials
(NARM).
NRCs Regulatory Issue Summary (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
the NRCs Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). The
RIS may be located on the NRC Web site at: http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-
collections/gen-comm/reg-issues/2005/. Pursuant to NRCs RIS 2005-31, the enclosed
materials license will not be made publicly available.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
/RA/
