MAR 2 01996 Docket No: 50-170 Defense Nuclear Agency Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute ATTN: Colonel James Conklin, MC, USAF Director Bethesda, Maryland 20014 Gentlemen:

Subject:

Timely Renewal of NRC Approved Programs This distributes information about a recent event at a research reactor in NRC Region I.

The licensee's NRC approved Quality Assurance Program for Radiation Material Pack-ages expired on December. 31, 1985. No renewal request was submitted before license expiration, as provided in 10 CFR 2.106. Therefore, th'e licensee was not author-ized to transport licensed materials subsequent to December 31,1985. ' However, a shipment of spent fuel was made on January 27, 1986. There were no radiation control inadequacies with that shipment, but it was made without a proper license.

It is each licensee's responsibility to assure that activities are conducted in accordance with requirements, including the Code of Federal Regulations and a valid license. Each licensee must request needed license renewals prior to their ex-piration.

All research and test reactor licensees should be aware of expiration dates for various programs at their facilities and take required actions accordingly.

Sincerely, N% s%

Edward C.: Wenziker, Chief Projects Branch No. 3 Division of Reactor Projects ~
