Licensing and Regulatory Compliance
Stan A. Huber Consultants, Inc. (SAHCI) has prepared or assisted in the preparation of radioactive material licensing documents for more than 400 clients. Our extensive experience assures that we are always up to date on current regulations and licensing formats. More complex licensing actions may require an on-site visit and license audit to ascertain correct coverage. A total NRC or Agreement State license audit is usually a prerequisite for establishing and maintaining an understandable and efficient control system. After completion of the license audit, our consultant can prepare any necessary radioactive material license renewal or amendment application.
Special management decisions must be made at the time of initiating a radioactive material program or expanding an existing operation. Our consultant can be of specialized assistance in this area by objective application of his/her experience and training to develop sound recommendations or justifications based on an individual facility's circumstance. The consultant can prepare or aid in the preparation of cost analysis studies, facility design, feasibility studies, and complete overview evaluation studies.
