RE: Well Logging Contractor/Licensee

["Dunn, Wes" <WDunn@intiso.com>]

"It depends"

Basically, is the facility under "Exclusive Federal Jurisdiction" (I
think that is the phrase out of the Atomic Energy Act)?  The best
interpretation I've seen is that this declaration must be made at the
time the Federal government takes over the property.  It can apparently
be rescinded at any time.

If it is under "EFJ", then the NRC would have jurisdiction.  Otherwise,
the State.

Example: The NASA base in Clear Lake, Texas is regulated by the State of
Texas, not the NRC.  Most (All?) military facilities are regulated by
NRC.

	Hello RADSAFERs, 

	We will be having some environmental test wells drilled and
logged at our
	NASA facility (a federal installation) which is located within
the State of
	Maryland (an agreement state).  The contractor (I suppose) will
be using
	radiation sources within well logging equipment.  Here's my
question:

	If the contractor possesses only a "State" license, do they need
to get
	approval from the NRC prior to performing work at our federal
facility?  If
	so, what type of approval will be required?

	PS.  We have an NRC Broadscope License but it does not include
well logging
	equipment.

	Thanks for your help (in advance).  

	Please mailto:Tad.M.Blanchard.1@GSFC.NASA.GOV to save RADSAFE
bandwidth.
