- 11. Licensed material shall be stored by , or under the supervision of , Robert M. Burgess, Ph.D. 12. The Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) for this license is Gino Begluitti, MPH, CIH, CHMM. PAGE 2 OF 5 PAGE S 13. In addition to the possession limits in Item 8 , the l i censee shall further restrict the possession of licensed material to quantities below the minimum limit specified in 10 CFR 30.35(d) for establishing decommissioning financial assurance. 14. The l i censee shall not use licensed material in or on human beings. 15. The licensee shall not use licensed material in field applications where it is released except as provided otherwise by spec i fic condition of this license. 16. Experimental animals , or the products from experimental animals , that have been administered licensed materials shall not be used for human consumption. 17. A. Sealed sources and detector cells shall be tested for leakage and/or contamination at intervals not to exceed the intervals specified in the certificate of registration issued by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission under 10 CFR 32.210 or by an Agreement State. In the absence of a registration certificate , sealed sources shall be tested for leakage and/or contamination at i ntervals not to exceed 6 months , or at such other intervals as specified.
B. Notwithstanding Paragraph A of this Condition , sealed sources designed to primarily emit alpha particles shall be tested for leakage and/or contamination at intervals not to exceed 3 months. C. In the absence of a certificate from a transferor indicating that a leak test has been made within the intervals specified in the certificate of registration issued by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission under 10 CFR 32.210 or under equivalent regulations of an Agreement State, prior to the transfer, a sealed source received from another person shall not be put into use until tested and the test results received.
NRC FORM 374A MATERIALS LICENSE SUPPLEMENTARY SHEET U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION License Number 38-11957-01 Amendment No. 28 Docket or Reference Number 030-06356 PAGE 3 OF 5 PAGES D. Sealed sources need not be tested if they contain only hydrogen-3; or they contain only a radioactive gas; or the half-life of the isotope is 30 days or less; or they contain not more than 100 microcuries of beta-and/or gamma-emitting material or not more than 10 microcuries of alpha-emitting material.
E. Sealed sources need not be tested if they are in storage and are not being used; however , when they are removed from storage for use or transferred to another person and have not been tested within the required leak test interval , they shall be tested before use or transfer.
No sealed source shall be stored for a period of more than 10 years without being tested for leakage and/or contamination.
F. The leak test shall be capable of detecting the presence of 185 becquerels (0.005 microcuries) of radioactive material on the test sample. If the test reveals the presence of 185 becquerels (0.005 microcuries) or more of removable contamination, a report shall be filed with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission in accordance with 10 CFR 30.50(c)(2), and the source shall be removed immediately from service and decontaminated, repaired, or disposed of in accordance with Commission regulations.
G. Tests for leakage and/or contamination, including leak test sample collection and analysis, shall be performed by the licensee or by other persons specifically licensed by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission or an Agreement State to perform such services.
H. Records of leak test results shall be kept in units of becquerels (microcuries) and shall be maintained for 3 years. 18. The licensee shall conduct a physical inventory every 6 months, or at other intervals approved by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, to account for all sealed sources and/or devices received and possessed under the license. Records of inventories shall be maintained for 3 years from the date of each inventory, and shall include the radionuclides , quantities, manufacturer's name and model numbers, and the date of the inventory. 19. Sealed sources or detector cells containing licensed material shall not be opened or sources removed from source holders by the licensee.

Maintenance , repair , cleaning , replacement , and disposal of foils contained in detector cells shall be performed only by the device manufacturer or other persons specifically authorized by the l.l.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission or an Agreement State to perform such services. 21. The licensee i s authorized to hold radioactive material with a physical half-life of less than or equal to 120 days for decay-in-storage before disposal in ordinary trash provided: A. Before disposal as ordinary trash , the waste shall be surveyed-at the container surface with the appropriate survey instrument set on its most sensitive scale and with no interposed shielding to determine that its radioactivity cannot be distinguished from background. All radiation labels shall be removed or obliterated , except for radiation labels on materials that are within containers and that will be managed as biomedical waste after they have been released from the licensee. B. A record of each such disposal permitted under this license condition shall be retained for 3 years. The record must include the date of disposal , the date on which the byproduct material was placed in storage, the radionuclides disposed , the survey instrument used, the background dose rate , the dose rate measured at the surface of. each waste contai n er , and the name of the individual who performed the disposal.
- 22. The licensee will take all actions that are within its ability to dispose of its material , notifying the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission within 30 days if disposal is achieved.
