4.0 Specification of Activities to be Performed This license is requested to permit the possession and use of special nuclear material for:
a)
The analysis of unirradiated enriched uranium for uranium content and isotopic composition by mass spectrometry.
Samples are prepared for analysis in the Uranium licxafluoride Laboratory, Uranium-Plutonium Laboratory, and the Low Level Uranium Preparation Laboratory for analysis in the Mass Spectrometry area (see diagrams in Appendix A).
All samples are stored either in the Low Level Uranium Preparation Laboratory, the Uranium-liexafluoride Laboratory or the' Uranium-Plutonium Laboratory (see diagrams in Appendix A).
b)
Radiometric analysis using U-232 and Pu-236 for standard-i:ation purposes.
Standard solutions are kept in the C-14/
Tritium Laboratory, Room 178, in exempt quantities.
c)
Use of U-235 as a tracer to determine uranium concentration of geological samples by isotope dilution. Standard solutions of microgram quantities of U-235 are kept in a
(
cabinet in the Low Level Uranium Preparation Laboratory (see diagram in Appendix A).

5.0 Licensed Limitt fer Special Nuclear Material Thr, following possession limits delineated by isotope, mass, and activity will cover the total anticipated inventory of special nuclear material including stored material and waste:
Isotope Quantity Activity U-232 2.00 micrograms 4.19 x IC -5 Ci U-233 1.00 micrograms 9.48 x 10-3 Ci 7.42 X 10-4 Ci U-235 346.0 grams Pu-236 2.00 micrograms 1.06 x 10-3 Ci Pu-238 0.0025 gram 1.75 x 10-1 Ci 4.29 x 10-2 Ci Pu-239 0.5 gram Pu-240 0.10 gram 2.27 x 10-1 Ci Pu-241 0.08 gram 9.00 Ci Pu-242 0.01 gram 3.90 x 10-5 Ci Pu-244 0.10 gram 1.83 X 10-6 Ci It should be noted that combinations of any quantity of special nuclear material mentioned above is insufficient to form a critical mass as calculated using the formula stated in Section 1.1 of Regulatory Guide 10.3.
Pu-241 is the only isetope which may contain a major dose contributing contaminant from build up of the decay product Am-241.
U-232 and Pu-236 are maintained as standard solutions for radiometric analysis by the Radiochemistry Section.
Unirradiated enriched uranium sampics nay be submitted in a variety of compounds such as UF, U 0, UO, alloys, and 6
3g 2
uranyl nitrate.
Microgram quantities of irradiated uranium and plutonium 4/15/81
l Page 7 WTELEDYNE ISOTOPES samples may be submitted in dry nitrate form for the purpose of isotopic analysis.
It is reques.. that the materials be considered to have any solid or liquid form because of tha variety of uses in which they are amployed.
