Re: Honeywell International Inc. Morristown, NJ, NRC License No. 29-00040-10 Docket No. 030-11981 Status Change to License Request, Category 3L

Dear Ms. Joustra:

Based on our discussions and the recommendation from the Radiation Safety Committee, we are now requesting a status change to the above referenced materials license from broad scope (A) to limited scope (RBD). In order to narrow the material scope, we wish to retain materials 6.6 through 6.E and modify 6.A. to list only the Isotopes Sulfur 35 and Iodine 125. We are also requesting that Condition 1 l.A state that the users will be approved by the NRC and Condition 11.6 will list the Radiation Safety Offcer as Dr. Peter Unger (training 8 experience submitted in September).

We are also enclosing disposal documentation as per your request for the radionuclides. which fall under 6.A along with radioactive lab decommissioning documentation. Please be aware that at this time there is no work being conducted with radioactive materials on the above referenced site other than the use of a Nickel 63 source in a GC unit. All other radioactive materials have been properly disposed of except for 4 vials of Carbon 14 (e30 mCi) mixed RCRA waste which are awaiting disposal approval.

If you havz questions or require additional information, I may be reached at (973) 455-2621.

Memorandum Morrwown, New Jersey

Date: December 8, 1995

To: Radiation Safety Committee & File

Subject: RAM Usage at Morristown

As you are aware, the use of unsealed radiation sources at Morristown has ceased for the time being. Last fall, Paul Stidham and I examined the DEv Building Labs (4, 7, and 81 with Pete Jungfer to review what had been done to remove all RAM and decontaminate them. Pete subsequently did a wipe survey of the labs. The Siemens report (attached for file copy) verify that no measurable contamination remained. We are there for releasing these labs for unrestricted use.

Since there are no current uses of unsealed RAM we are choosing not to conduct radiation training this year. Should a request for usage comes before the committee, we will direct that suitable training be made available at that time.

Pete will also contact our Broker to remove any radioactive waste (the very little that remains) that we can while the Barnwell, SC site is available.

Best wishes for the holidays.
