Re: Well Logging Contractor/Licensee



Tad:

In the case you described below, NASA should provide the private contractor with written documentation regarding the jurisdictional status of the proposed work site.  The following procedure should be applied regarding this case:

1.  If the work site is covered by Exclusive Federal Jurisdiction (EFJ), the contractor should contact the NRC's Region-I Office to obtain reciprocity, if the contractor does not already hold an NRC license.  

2.  If the proposed work site is covered by "Other" than EFJ, the contractor should contact the State of Maryland to obtain reciprocity, if the contractor does not already hold a Maryland license.   

These determinations are quite involved and hinge mainly on land transfer records which are old and often subject to change.  The main point however, is to obtain the official land jurisdiction determination from NASA's legal department, then you can advise the contractor.

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).
