SUBJECT: LICENSE AMENDMENT
Dear Dr. Harmon:
Please find enclosed Amendment Number 2 to NRC License Number 50-35123-01
adding a modality and including an additional authorization for an existing authorized
user, as requested. An environmental assessment for this licensing action is not
required since this action is categorically excluded under 10 CFR 51.22(c)(14)(iv). You
should review this license carefully and be sure that you understand all conditions. You
can contact me at 817-200-1132 if you have any questions about this license.
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:

6. 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 medical uses of radioactive materials may
be obtained on the NRC Web site at:
http://www.nrc.gov/materials/miau/med-use-toolkit.html. This site also provides the
updated Training and Experience NRC Form 313A series of forms and guidance, as well
as information on the revised regulations for naturally-occurring and accelerator-
produced radioactive materials (NARM).
The NRC medical list server has been set up. The list server will send automatic e-mail
notifications of medical-related generic communications, Federal Register Notices, and
NMSS/FSME newsletters as they are published. Anyone may subscribe/unsubscribe to
the new medical list server by sending an e-mail to medical-gc@nrc.gov with Subscribe
