Dear Ms. Schmitt:

We have reviewed the Nebraska proposed Order and corresponding license condition to

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

quantities of concern, received by our office on November 1, 2005. This Order and

corresponding 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 Order and corresponding license condition with you on November 2, 2005.

We have determined that the proposed Nebraska Order and corresponding 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 Order and corresponding license condition issued to effected

Nebraska licensees.

The SRS Data Sheet summarizes our knowledge of the status of other Nebraska 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.
