Dear Mr. Fraze,
www.cardinal.com
We are required by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and/or the state of California to notify you
that we are utilizing radioactive materials under an NRC or California license at:
50] B 40'h Street
Bakersfield, Ca 93301
This notification is for your information in case of a fire or disaster that might involve this building.
Tl~e material with which we work is for use by physicians for medical purposes and, therefore, is comprised
of short-lived radiopharmaceuticals.
Very little danger would exist in case of a fire or disaster; however, the fire fighting personnel should it be
necessary to enter the room in which the radioactive material is stored should exercise precautions. In the
case of a fire, the material would remain confined to this room due to the nature of this building's
const.niction.
Should it become necessary to enter the pharmacy area, survey instruments are readily available; they are
located in the rooms adjacent to the radioactive storage room. Also, personnel trained in the use of survey
instruments and familiar with hazardous radiation levels would be available to assist your personnel.
If you have any questions concerning this notification or if you would like to visit our facility to familiarize
yourself with our location do not hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely,
Dianna Romero
Nuclear Pharmacy Supervisor
