I. Background

    Pursuant to Section 2.106 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal

City, Tennessee. This license is subject to the requirements of 10 CFR 
Part 70, Domestic Licensing of Special Nuclear Material. The licensee's

of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and the NRC's rules and

renewal was issued on July 24, 2014, and is effective immediately.
