Dear Mr. Nanney:

We have reviewed the Tennessee proposed legally binding license condition to implement

increased controls for certain licensees that possess certain radioactive materials in quantities

of concern, received by our office on September 15, 2005. This license condition was reviewed

by comparison to the equivalent NRC requirements that were transmitted from this office on

September 2, 2005. We discussed our review of the license condition with Johnny Graves on

September 15, 2005.

We have determined that the proposed Tennessee license condition, if issued without significant

change, would meet the compatibility category ‘B’ designation in NRC Order EA-05-090.

We appreciate receiving the final license condition issued to effected Tennessee licensees.

The SRS Data Sheet summarizes our knowledge of the status of other Tennessee regulations and

legal binding requirements, as indicated. Please let us know if you note any inaccuracies, or have

any comments on the information contained in the SRS Data Sheet. This letter, including the SRS

Data Sheet, will be posted on the STP website: http://www.hrsd.ornl.gov/nrc/rulemaking.htm. 

If you have any questions regarding the review, the compatibility categories, or any of the NRC

requirements used in the review, please contact Mr. Andrew Mauer of my staff at 301-415-3962 or

e-mail: anm@nrc.gov.
