SUBJECT:

REPORT OF PROPOSED ACTIVITIES IN NON-AGREEMENT STATES

Dear Mr. Coggins:

This refers to the proposed use of licensed materials at the Weeks Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, Baldwin County, Fairhope, Alabama. Upon consulting with Mr. Adams and the State of Alabama, it appears that the Research Reserve comes under Alabama jurisdiction rather than Nuclear Regulatory Commission for regulation of licensed byproduct material. I am retuming the materials you submitted.

The State of Alabama has a program for reciprocal recognition of byproduct material licensed activities. You may contact the State licensing authority at:

Division of Radiation Control ATTN: Mr. Kirksey E. Whatley Telephone 334-613-5391 Director Fax 334-613-5387 State Department of Public Health 434 Monroe Street Montgomery, Alabama 36130-1701 I have enclosed a recommended procedure for determining jurisdiction of areas which may be exclusive federal jurisdiction. Please do not hesitate to call me should you have any questions. My telephone number is (404) 331-5624, and fax number is (404) 331-7437.

14. A. (1) Each sealed source or detector cell containing licensed material, other than Hydrogen-3, with a half-life greater than thirty (30) days and in any form other than gas shall be tested for leakage and/or contamination at intervals not to exceed six (6), months, except that each source designed for the purpose of emitting alpha particles shall be tested at intervals not to exceed three (3) months. In the absence of a certificate from a transferor indicating that a test has been made within six (6) months prior to the transfer, a sealed source or detector cell received from another person shall not be put into use until tested.

(2) Notwithstanding the periodic leak test required by this condition, any licensed sealed source or detector cell is exempt from such leak tests when the source or detector cell contains 100 microcuries or less of beta and/or gamma emitting material or 10 microcuries or less of alpha emitting material.

(3) Except for alpha sources, the periodic leak test required by this condition does not apply to sealed sources that are stored and not being used. The sources excepted from this test shall be tested for leakage prior to any use or transfer to another per son unless they have been lesk tested within six (6) months prior to the date of use or transfer.

B. Each encapsulated plutonium source designed for the purpose of cmitting neutron or gamma radiation shall be tested for leakage at intervals not to exceed six (6) months. The test shall be capable of detecting the presence of 0.005 microcurie of alpha contamination on the test sample.

C. Each sealed source or detector cell fabricated by the licensee shall be inspected and tested for construction defects, leakage, and contaminatica prior to use or transfer as a sealed source or detector cell. If the inspection or test reveals any construction defects or 0.005 microcurie or greater of contamination, the source or detector cell shall not be used or transferred as a sealed source until it has been repaired, decontaminated and retested.

E. If the test required by Subsection A., B., or C. of this condition reveals the presence of 0.005 microcurie or more of removable contamination, the licensee shall immediately withdraw the sealed source or detector cell from use and shall cause it to be decontaminated and repaired or to be disposed ofin accordance with the Mississippi State Board of Health Regulations for Control of Radiation.

Individuals involved in frequent operations (less than every two weeks) which utilize, during any one (1) quart:r, a total of ten (10) millicuries of Iodine-125 and/or Iodine-131 in capsule form or a total of one (1) millicurie of liquid Iodine-125 and/or Iodine-131 must have a bioassay performed within six (6) to seventy-two (72) hours following the use of the licensed material. Infrequent use of Iodine-125 and/or Iodine-131 (greater than every two weeks) will necessitate a bioassay within ten (10) days following the use of the licensed material. Bioassays may be either in vivo or in vitro measurements; however, the licensee must maintain on file bioassay procedures and results for review by the Division of Radiological Health, Mississippi State Department of Health.
22. The licensee shall conduct a physical inventory every six (6) months to account for all sealed sources received and possessed under the license.

RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE FOR LICENSEES TO OBTAIN JURIS0ICTION DETERMINATIONS If you intend to conduct licensed activities at a Federally controlled site (e.g. a Federally controlled site in an Agreement State). the jurisdictional status of the site should be determined. if you are uncertain regarding the jurisdictional status of a proposed work site, it is recommended that you take the following steps:

a. Obtain specific information regarding the location of the proposed work site (e.g. street address. Range / Township. building or hangar number, distance from a specific intersection. or other identifying details) and identity of the Federal agency c.sntrolling the proposed work site.
b. Call the Federal agency's local contact (contract officer. base environmental health officer. district office staff regional office staff. etc.) and request information regarding the jurisdictional status of the proposed work site. We recommend that you request such a statement in writing. Otherwise. you should document for your records the name and title of the person at the Federal agency who providea the determination and the date that it was provided.
i. If the work site is identified as falling under " Exclusive Federal Jurisdiction" and you are an Agreement State licensee.

your notification of proposed work (NRC Form 241) and if available, a copy of the statement of jurisdiction from the agency should be submitted to NRC. In lieu of submitting an NRC Form 241. Agreement State licensees may apply for a specific NRC license to operate in areas under NRC jurisdiction. If you are an NRC 11censee. no action is required.

ii. If the work site is identified as other than " Exclusive Federal  !

4 Jurisdiction" you should contact the Agreement State within which the facility resides.

An Agreement State licensee found to be involvec in an area of exclusive Federal jurisdiction without a prior NRC license or without prior filing for reciprocity under 10 CFR 150.20 is potentially subject to escalated enforcement action. Including civil penalties and orders. However. NRC will not take enforcement action agair.st an Agreement State licensee for such ,

violations if the licensee has evidence that it received a determination from the Federal agency that the area of work is not under exclusive Federal jurisdiction. This evidence may be a written statement from the Federal agency that provided the determination and the date that it was provided or a written statement signed and dated by the licensee documenting the name and title of the person at the Federal agency who provided the determination that l

the work site was not in an area of " Exclusive Federal Jurisdiction" and the date the determination wds provided.

Dear Mr. Collins:

Please find enclosed a completed Form 241 and a copy of our license. As per our conversation on the phone, we are moving our research from Big Lagoon, Perdido Key, Florida to Weeks Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, Baldwin County, Alabama. The director of the Weeks Bay Reserve and contact person is Mr. L.G. Adams. His phone number is 334-928-9792. Mr. Adams has approved our research project, titled "Effect of the arsenic / phosphorus ratio on benthic microalgal assemblage structure in an estuary," and is v:ry enthusiastic about the fact we have chosen to work in Weeks Bay.

If you require any additional information, please contact myself or Mr. Terry Coggins, our RSO. I would like to thank you for your promptness and efficiency in initiating the reciprocity process so that we will be able to begin our work in Weeks Bay in early April.

Sincerely, ttG 4a 7. C -
