Re: Termination of license number 21-18912-01, Heart Center for Excellence.
Please note that this termination is being sent in conjunction with an amendment to add the radioactive use areas at Heart Center for Excellence to Borgess Medical Center. Please terminate license number 21-18912-01 at the same time you approve the amendment to add the new address of use onto the Borgess Medical Center license to avoid any interruption of patient services.

As of January 1, 2011, Borgess Medical Center acquired the Heart Center for Excellence, license number 21-18912-01. This license is now owned and managed by Borgess Medical Center.
Upon approval, Borgess Medical Center will add Heart Center for Excellence onto its NRC license and we will continue to provide patient services. There will be no changes in the location of radioactive materials and use areas. All equipment will remain as is, but will now be owned by Borgess Medical Center. Radioactive sealed sources will remain at Heart Center for Excellence, but will now be owned by Borgess Medical Center. Authorized users on the Heart Center for Excellence license are also authorized users at Borgess Medical Center and our licensed program will continue to operate with no interruption in patient services.
All required records regarding the use and possession of licensed materials will be current at the time of the transfer. The status of compliance will be maintained before, during and after the transfer of ownership. The surveillance program is current and documented and all records are kept at the address of use. The surveillance program will continue to be up to date at the time of the transfer of control. There are no open inspection items related to materials license number 21-1 8912-01.
All parties involved with the transfer are aware and agree to the planned transfer of ownership.
If you have any questions regarding this termination please contact Tom Mushett, Radiology Director at 269-226-4833 or Paul Jursinic, Ph.D., RSO at Borgess Medical Center, at 269-373-7407.

Dear Ms Hall:
Enclosed please find the Nuclear Medicine inspection report for the first quarter of 201 I. This inspection was performed on January 6, 201 1. I have listed my comments and recommendations concerning your licensed activities below:
1.

The following documentation is enclosed for Dr. King to review and sign: the dose calibrator accuracy test, linearity test, sealed source inventory, leak test and this letter.
.The sealed source inventory was verified and leak tested. The results of the leak tests were acceptable.
Please note that your NRC license expires on May 31 , 201 1. The NRC must receive the license renewal 30 days prior to the expiration date. The NRC renewal application and the required documentation for the transfer of ownership were emailed to Autumn on January 11 , 201 1.
All available Nuclear medicine personnel exposure reports were reviewed. The following Nuclear Medicine personnel exposures were above ALARA level I limits of 125 mremlquarter for the whole body, 1250 mredquarter for the extremity and skin, and 375 mrem for the lens of eye.
A. Karis: 142 mrem (Whole Body) 3‘ quarter 2010
There was one spill of radioactive material recorded since my last visit. Nudear Medicine personnel appropriately followed spill pmcedures and decontaminated the area with no spread of contamination. All required papennrork has been filled out and filed appropriately.
No accidental administrations of radioactive material were recorded since my last visit.
During my visit, I tested the CAPRAC well counter and found it to be operating properly.

8. At the time of my visit, I was able to review the camera QC uniformity and resolution images. Review of the uniformity images and resolution images from Camera A and B reveal no significant non-uniformities and the resolution is within the range of expected values.
(
9. I have taken the Ludlum survey meter (sln 148569) for annual calibration.
10. All other NRC records appear to be in good operating order.
