(301) 816–5100. If, after 24 hours of
investigating, the location of the
material still cannot be determined, the
radioactive material shall be deemed
missing and the licensee shall
immediately notify the NRC Operations
Center at (301) 816–5100.
b. For domestic highway and rail
shipments, prior to shipping licensed
radioactive material that exceeds 100
times the quantities in Table 1 per
consignment, the licensee shall:
1. Notify the NRC 1, in writing, at least
90 days prior to the anticipated date of
shipment. The NRC will issue the Order
to implement the Additional Security
Measures (ASMs) for the transportation
of Radioactive Material Quantities of
Concern (RAM QC). The licensee shall
not ship this material until the ASMs for
the transportation of RAM QC are
implemented or the licensee is notified
otherwise, in writing, by NRC.
2. Once the licensee has implemented
the ASMs for the transportation of RAM
QC, the notification requirements of
3.b.1 shall not apply to future shipments
of licensed radioactive material that
exceeds 100 times the Table 1
quantities. The licensee shall implement
the ASMs for the transportation of RAM
QC.
c. If a licensee employs an M&D
licensee to take possession at the
licensee’s location of the licensed
radioactive material and ship it under
its M&D license, the requirements of 3.a.
and 3.b above shall not apply.
d. If the licensee is to receive
radioactive material greater than or
equal to the Table 1 quantities, per
consignment, the licensee shall
coordinate with the originator to:
1. Establish an expected time of
delivery; and
2. Confirm receipt of transferred
radioactive material. If the material is
not received at the expected time of
delivery, notify the originator and assist
in any investigation.
IC 4. In order to ensure the safe
handling, use, and control of licensed
material in use and in storage each
licensee that possesses mobile or
portable devices containing radioactive
material in quantities greater than or
equal to Table 1 values, shall:
a. For portable devices, have two
independent physical controls that form
tangible barriers to secure the material
from unauthorized removal when the
device is not under direct control and
constant surveillance by the licensee.
b. For mobile devices:

1. that are only moved outside of the
facility (e.g., on a trailer), have two
independent physical controls that form
tangible barriers to secure the material
from unauthorized removal when the
device is not under direct control and
constant surveillance by the licensee.
2. that are only moved inside a
facility, have a physical control that
forms a tangible barrier to secure the
material from unauthorized movement
or removal when the device is not under
direct control and constant surveillance
by the licensee.
c. For devices in or on a vehicle or
trailer, licensees shall also utilize a
method to disable the vehicle or trailer
when not under direct control and
constant surveillance by the licensee
IC 5. The licensee shall retain
documentation required by these
increased controls for three years after
they are no longer effective:
a. The licensee shall retain
documentation regarding the
trustworthiness and reliability of
individual employees for three years
after the individual’s employment ends.
b. Each time the licensee revises the
list of approved persons required by
1.d., or the documented program
required by 2, the licensee shall retain
the previous documentation for three
years after the revision.
c. The licensee shall retain
documentation on each radioactive
material carrier for three years after the
licensee discontinues use of that
particular carrier.
d. The licensee shall retain
documentation on shipment
coordination, notifications, and
investigations for three years after the
shipment or investigation is completed.
e. After the license is terminated or
amended to reduce possession limits
below the quantities of concern, the
licensee shall retain all documentation
required by these increased controls for
three years.
IC 6. Detailed information generated
by the licensee that describes the
physical protection of radioactive
material quantities of concern, is
sensitive information and shall be
protected from unauthorized disclosure.
a. The licensee shall control access to
its physical protection information to
those persons who have an established
need to know the information, and are
considered to be trustworthy and
reliable.
b. The licensee shall develop,
maintain and implement policies and
procedures for controlling access to, and
for proper handling and protection
against unauthorized disclosure of, its
physical protection information for
radioactive material covered by these

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
By letter dated December 13, 2007,
the Nuclear Engineering Teaching
Laboratory (NETL) at the University of
Texas at Austin (UTX–A) requested the
renewal of Special Nuclear Material
License No. SNM–180. Pursuant to Title
10 of the Code of Federal Regulations
(10 CFR), Section 2.106, the U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
is providing notice that Special Nuclear
Material License No. SNM–180, which
authorizes the NETL at the UTX–A to
receive title to, own, acquire, receive,
possess, use, and transfer plutonium
and uranium enriched up to 20% by
weight, has been renewed for a period
of 10 years. The NETL’s request for the
proposed renewed license was
previously noticed, and an opportunity
to request a hearing provided, in the
Federal Register on September 10, 2009
(74 FR 46626). No requests for a hearing
were received. The proposed licensing
action was categorically excluded under
10 CFR 51.22(c)(14)(v) from the
requirements to prepare an
Environmental Assessment or an
Environmental Impact Statement.
This license complies with the
standards and requirements of the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended,
and NRC’s rules and regulations as set
forth in 10 CFR Chapter 1. Accordingly,
this license was renewed on November
13, 2009, and is effective immediately.

The NRC has prepared a Safety
Evaluation Report (SER) that documents
the information that was reviewed and
the NRC’s conclusion. In accordance
