Gentlemen: i

;

Pleaso find enclosed the renewal of your NRC Material License.,

Please review the enclosed document carefully and be sure that you understand !all conditions. If there are any errors or questions, please notify theRegion I Material Licensing Section, (215)'337-5239, so that we can provideappropriate corrections and answers. i

'Picase be advised that you must conduct your program involving licensedradioactive materials in accordance with the conditions of your NRC license,

'

representations made in your license application, and NRC regulations. Inparticular, please note the items in the enclosed, " Requirements for Materials-Licensees." .

Your letter dated December 16, 1988 included details of your proposed ,

relocation of radioactive material use areas as well as information concerningyour plans to decontaminate and decommission your present facilities. 10 CFR30.36(d)(1) requires that each licensee, prior to release of 'a restricted area i

for unrestricted use, submit to the NRC, a radiation survey report to confirmthe absence of radioactive materials or to establish the levels of residualradioactive contamination. The licensee shall, as appropriate:

a. Report levels of radiation in units of microrads'por hour of beta andgamma radiation at one centimeter and gamma radiation at one meter.

~

Report levels of radioactivity in units of disintegrations per minute (ormicrocuries) per 100 square centimeters removable and fixed on surfaces.

b. Specify the survey instrument (s) used and certify that each instrument isproperly calibrated and tested.

If no residual radioactive contamination attributable to the activitiesconducted under the license is detectable, then you must submit acertification that no removal radioactive contamination was found. If the !

'submitted information is adequate, the NRC will notify you in writing, thatthe facility may be released for unrestricted use.

If residual radioactivity is detected, the licensee must continue to controland limit access to the restricted area and :ontinue efforts to reduce theremaining level of radioactivity to less than the levels specified in" Guidelines for Decontamination of Facilities and Equipment Prior to Releasefor_ Unrestricted use or Termination of Licenses for Byproduct, Source, orSpecial Nuclear Material" (copy enclosed). Upon reduction of residualradioactive contamination to levels less than those specified in thisdocument, you must certify to ti.e NRC that the facility is ready to releaseto unrestricted use. If the submittei information is adequate, the NRC willnotify you in writing, that the #acility may be released for unrestricted use.

Since serious consequences to employees and the public can result from failureto comply with NRC requirements, the NRC expects licensees to pay meticulousattention to detail and to achieve the high standard of compliance which theNRC expects of its licensees.

You will be periodically inspected by NRC. A fee may be charged forinspections in accordance with 10 CFR Part 170. Failure to conduct yourprogram safely and in accordance with NRC regulations, license conditions,and representations made in your license application and supplementalcorrespondence with NRC will result in prompt and vigorous enforcementaction against you. This could include issuance of a notice of violation,or in case of serious violations, an imposition of a civil penalty or an

,

order suspending, modifying or revoking your license as specified in the (General Policy and Procedures for NRC Enforcement Actions,10 CFR Part 2,Appendix C.

RE: Mail Control No. 108352

Dear Mr. Kinnemam '

,

This is in response to your 19 November 1988 letter, requeetingfurther details supporting our application (License No. 06 21254-01). Your notations called for revision of items 4-6 in my 24October 1988 letter su1portin; the application. The revised itemsare attached, labeled "leviset Ap11ication", and are presented in '

triplicate, where the third copy ;mighlights significant changesmade.

Thank you for forwarding to me the copies of regulations that you |deem applicable. Actually I had accessed some of these materials ;but. thought that there might be a catagory of usage that may be !lower in level than that deemed necessary for " medicalinstitutions". Our highest level of contamination that we have lever assessed in user instruments known to be contaminated do not J

~

approach the contamination levels cited in regulatory guide 8.23.While we will make every attempt to adhere to your criteria,1 -iappeal to the NRC- to create a category for a lower level of usage '

that might involve less administration and labor to monitor i

contamination levels. ]

| In item #1 of my 24 October 1988 application, I cited that ourL laboratory premises (user areas will be relocated to the newly !

renovated second floor of 25 ) Science Park (the floor below ourI

present facility). The safety consulting firm that we retained is !advising us to apply a self-consistent set of " OSHA" based safety l

regulations to our laboratory area, with a considerable increasein . radiation safety measures. Hence, the resulting radiation |safety rules that will be effective will be considerably more |

elaborate than this application implies. I fully realize that |your office must receive notice of the pending move, as well asthe plan that accomodates the "decommissionmg"l noticeof our present

=

space. Please accept this reminder as a forma of ourL intentions, and please notify me immediately if the plan| presented below is insufficient to effect the move and

decommissioning of our present facility, fbbN

AMMENDMENT TO NhtC LICENSE #06 21254 01 (RE: Restricted Area)Effective Date: The time frame for becoming operational in thenew facility is late January 1989.

New location: The East wing of the Second Floor of 25 SciencePark, New Haven, CT. Ttus location is newly renovated wetlaboratory space, directly below the current facility. The newfacility floor plan is identical to the previous floor plan; theuser areas and amount of usage is relatively unchanged. The newfacility floor plan is attached. Two significant changes in thefloor plan are the designated limit of the restricted area, whichwill be defined by a security (card access) door, and theposition of the radioactive waste, which will be in a dedicatedcloset.

Movement of Radioactivity: All current e that may becontaminated will be prequalified for " release'quipmentby our usual wipetest and according to action levels designated in RegulatoryGuide 8.23, Sect. 2, Table 3. Designated storage containers andrefrigerators will be maintained for that same purpose in newuser areas; hence, no decommissioning of storage containers andrefrigerators is planned. Movement of these items will bedirected - by the RSO and through the restricted area only (anelevator commutes the old and new restricted nicas). The singularradioactive source is the internal standard of the LSC; itsmovement will be contracted through the vendor of the maintenancecontract.

Decommissioning of Restricted Area: The vacated area will bethoroughly assessed by wipe tests to qualify the area for release

Sect. 2,g to action levels designated by Regulatory Guide 8.23,-

accordm

place by the Science Park Development Corporation (owner) y inTable 3. No usage, nor renovation p ans are entrentl ,

for thearea to be decommissioned.

I thank you for your cooperation and advice.

Sincerely, y

1. Prepare and lab,el area for Radioactive work prior to handlingradioactivity. Clearly label all containers and areas where -radioactive material is to be used.

2. No ingestion of food or drink, no storage of food, nothing by mouth,and no . mouth pipetting in any laboratory within the controlled

.

laboratory area at IBI, whether or not radioactivity is used or stored |within a particular laboratory.

3. Wear lab coats, specified lab shoes / shoe covers, gloves, and film j

badges for all radioactive applications and in all laboratories whereradioactivity is generally used.

4 Isotopes may be requested only through the Radiation Safety Officer,and are stored and disseminated only at that location (R&D Lab).Dispensing of the isotopes from primary storage containers shall ;

occur only in the provided area adjacent to the specified storage,,

freezer. Upon removal of any isotopes from the specified freezer: jA. allquot into a sealed container (microfuge tube)8. record the amount removed in log book immediatelyC.' secure the primary storage container, and return to freezer

_

D. promptly return to prepared experimental location. y

l5. Slgn In for scintillation counter use, indentify vial locations by 1

numbers, remove vlais when complete, and discard vialsappropriately.

)6. Separate solid and liquid waste, and segregate 32p,35S, MC and H.3

Store any tempory waste containers behind available plexiglass j

shield or in a metal cabinet. Transfer all waste to designated waste :

facility immediately upon the completicn of your experiment. ;

7. It is recommended that the experimental area be appropriately |monitored immediately af ter waste removal and general cleanup. 1

Gentlemen:

This is in reference to your application dated January 22, 1988 and your -

subsequent letter dated October 22, 1988, for the renewal of License No.06-21254-01. In order to continue our review, we need the following additionalinformation:s

1.. Item 6 of the 1etter dated October 24, 1988, states that an action level."2X background (50 cpm)" has been established for the evaluation ofpackage receipt contamination surveys. Item 6.3 of the same' letterstates that "all wipe assays are recorded as 3-channel cpm.from LSCoutput." The use of "2X background" as an' action limit and " cpm" as

= units is unacceptable since they are subject to variations in countingbackground and counting equipment performance and can not be directlyrelated.to an; actual measured physical quantity.

Item 6.e of our-letter dated July. 26~,1988, specifically states that thecresults of contamination surveys must be recorded and evaluated in unitsor subunits of curies or disintegrations per minute. This requirement is .!designed to permit a licensee to evaluate the results of their surveys in

~

terms of a real physical unit and to directly compare these result's to,

the values established in 10 CFR 20 for radiological protection. '

Table 2 of Regulatory Guide 8.23, " Radiation Safety Surveys at MedicalInstitutions" establishes suggested action limits for variouse ,

radionuclides. These limits are considered acceptable to the NRC-stafffor the type of operations conducted under your radioactive materiallicense'. It is necessary for you to revise your radiation survey andevaluation procedures to' include the use of physical units and establish' action limits in these units. A copy of Regulatory Guide 8.23 isenclosed.

2. Item 4.d. of your letter dated October 24, 1988 established _ InternationalBiotechnologies Radiation Safety Rules for the safe handling ofradioactive material. These rules fail to specifically prohibit thepractice of mouth pipetting when handling radioactive material. It willbe necessary for you to submit revised laboratory safety rules whichspecifically prohibit the practice of mouth pipetting of radioactivematerial.

3. Item 6 of your letter dated October 24, 1988 states the RSO will performquarterly contamination surveys and that users of radioactive materialwill be encouraged to perform radiation use area surveys af ter each use.It is necessary that radiation use area surveys be~made at leastmonthly. It is suggested that you closely review the survey frequencyguidelines established-in Regulatory Guide 8.23 (Section 2 and Table 1).It is necessary for you to submit revised laboratory radiation surveyfrequencies.
