RE: Well Logging Contractor/Licensee

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

I sent a second, clarifying answer to Tad (should have more completely
read his original note)....Since the facility has an NRC license, then
NRC must have jurisdiction.  As such, the logging company should get
reciprocity from the NRC to operate at the facility.

	"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	be rescinded at any time.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.
