3. Changes of Location. Equipment, and Procedures:
The physical location of the licensed pharmacy and accelerator will remain at the
current location at 17490 Dugdale Dr. South Bend, IN 46635; however, expansion and upgrade
to the facilities equipment will be necessary to accommodate plans to increase possession and
use of 1-131.
Changes to existing procedures include adding 1-131 storage, monitoring, handling and
waste disposal to the licensed pharmacy audit Additional changes to procedures include
implementing a bioassay procedure that follows the methods and criteria described in
Regulatory Guide 8.20- Applications for Bioassay for Radioiodine. The update to the facility
layout, restricted area where radioactive material will be used or stored, including changes to
restrictive access controls is provided {see appendix I). The transferee will maintain the control
to modify and update equipment as needed to better accommodate handling licensed material
and/or improve general safety.
4. Surveillence Records:
The license facility keeps all instrumentation calibrated (as applicable), performs efficiency and
constancy testing {as applicable) and area wipes and surveys on days in which RAM is handled. All
facility employees are given radiation safety training at a minimum general classroom and on-the-job
instruction during on-boarding and classroom instruction annually thereafter, as well as job specific onthe-job radiation safety training as needed. Review of records demonstrate no known contamination
and therefore decontamination is not applicable. All calibration, leak tests, area survey, wipe test,
training, and quality control records are current and in accordance with licensee commitments.
Decommissioning Funding Plan:
Pursuant to 10 CFR 30.35{g), we shall maintain drawings and records important to decommissioning and
will transfer these records to an NRCor Agreement State licensee before licensed activities are
transferred; or we will transfer the records to the appropriate NRC regional office before the
license is terminated.
• The Transferor has agreed to make available to the Transferee and leave all records at the
facility location before or by on the Transfer of Control.
• The Transferee commits to maintain the records received from the transferor.
• Daily facility survey will confirm no contamination prior to the transfer.
• No decommissioning is planned before or after the transfer of control.
• The transferee commits that operations will continue,during and after the transfer process; and
the transforee agrees to accept the facillty "as is" on the date of transfer.
