MAR 201986 Docket No:

50-54 Cintichem, Inc.

ATTN: Mr. James J. McGovern Plant Manager P. O. Box 816 Tuxedo, New York 10987 i

Gentlemen:

Subject:

Timely Renewal of NRC Approved Programs This distributes information about a recent event at a research reactor in NRC Region I.

The licensee's NRC approved Quality Assurance Program for Radiation Material Pack-ages expired on December 31, 1985.

No renewal request was' submitted before license expiration, as provided in 10 CFR 2.106.

Therefore, the licensee was not author-ized to transport licensed materials subsequent to December 31, 1985.

However, a shipment of spent fuel was made on January 27, 1986.

There were no radiation control inadequacies with that shipment, but it was.made without a proper license.

It is each licensee's responsibility to assure that activities are conducted in accordance with requirements, including the Code of Federal Regulations and a valid license.

Each licensee must request needed license renewals. prior to their ex-piration.

All research and test reactor licensees should be aware of expiration dates for various programs at their facilities and take required actions accordingly.

Sincerely, Criminal signed By:

Edward C. Wenzinger, Chief Projects Branch No. 3 Division of Reactor Projects cc:
