SUBJECT: UCENSE AMENDMENT
.
Please find enclosed License No. 50 23289 01. You should review this license carefully
and be sure that you understand all conditions. Please note that as part of this
amendment, in accordance with 10 CFR 30.36, effective February 15,1996, the
expiration date of your license has haen extended by a period of five years. Your new
expiration date is stated in item 4 of the license, if you have any questions, you may
contact the reviewer who signed your license at (510) 975 0250.
You should note that License Condition 26. has been added to your license relative to the
maximum amount of material you may possess under tne license. This licensing action
:
was necessary to preclude you from exceeding, possession limits of materials requiring that
. decommissioning financial assurance be provided. Should you determine that you require
possession of materialin excess of 10 CFR 30.35(d) amounts, please notify us regarding
an amendment to your license.
NRC expects licensees to conduct their programs with meticulous attention to detail and a
high standard of comp!!ance. 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 involving radioactive materials in accordance with the conditions of your NRC
license, representations made in your license application, and NRC regulations. In
particular, rote that 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,
