SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Discussion The NRC has terminated License No. SNM–2018, held by Rapiscan Laboratories, Inc. (Rapiscan), for a site in Sunnyvale, California. Rapiscan was contracted by the DHS to conduct a research program for the development of new technologies that are capable of detecting SNM. The program includes utilizing SNM placed inside fully loaded cargo containers and other concealments during testing of proprietary equipment to determine if it can locate SNM sources placed inside containers when surrounded by the cargo. The materials used consisted of Low Enriched Uranium and High Enriched Uranium constructed for DHS. The SNM was encapsulated consistent with sealed source requirements or plated in 3 to 5 millimeters of nickel and was not dispersible or soluble. The sources used under this license were constructed by and owned by the Department of Energy, who retains ownership. The initial application for this license was received on October 22, 2010 and license was issued on September 24, 2012. Rapiscan notified the Office of Nuclear Materials Safety and Safeguards on February 17, 2017 that testing was completed. An application to terminate the license was received on May 12, 2017. Rapiscan’s use of the licensed materials was for conducting only nondestructive experiments utilizing sealed SNM and therefore, consistent with part 51.22(c)(14)(v) of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulation (10 CFR), the initial licensing action was categorically excluded from the need to prepare an Environmental Assessment or an Environmental Impact Statement. The NRC staff prepared a safety evaluation report for the termination of SNM–2018. This license termination complies with 10 CFR 70.38, the standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and the NRC’s rules and regulations as set forth in 10 CFR chapter 1. Accordingly, this license termination was issued on October 20, 2017. II.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Discussion

    The NRC has terminated License No. SNM-2018, held by Rapiscan 
Laboratories, Inc. (Rapiscan), for a site in Sunnyvale, California. 
Rapiscan was contracted by the DHS to conduct a research program for 
the development of new technologies that are capable of detecting SNM. 
The program includes utilizing SNM placed inside fully loaded cargo 
containers and other concealments during testing of proprietary 
equipment to determine if it can locate SNM sources placed inside 
containers when surrounded by the cargo. The materials used consisted 
of Low Enriched Uranium and High Enriched Uranium constructed for DHS. 
The SNM was encapsulated consistent with sealed source requirements or 
plated in 3 to 5 millimeters of nickel and was not dispersible or 
soluble. The sources used under this license were constructed by and 
owned by the Department of Energy, who retains ownership.
    The initial application for this license was received on October 
22, 2010 and license was issued on September 24, 2012. Rapiscan 
notified the Office of Nuclear Materials Safety and Safeguards on 
February 17, 2017 that testing was completed. An application to 
terminate the license was received on May 12, 2017. Rapiscan's use of 
the licensed materials was for conducting only non-destructive 
experiments utilizing sealed SNM and therefore, consistent with part 
51.22(c)(14)(v) of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulation (10 CFR), 
the initial licensing action was categorically excluded from the need 
to prepare an Environmental Assessment or an Environmental Impact 
Statement. The NRC staff prepared a safety evaluation report for the 
termination of SNM-2018. This license termination complies with 10 CFR 
70.38, the standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, 
as amended, and the NRC's rules and regulations as set forth in 10 CFR 
chapter 1. Accordingly, this license termination was issued on October 
20, 2017.
