Dear Mr. Turner: 

We have reviewed the proposed changes to the Georgia regulations Radioactive Materials, 

Chapter 391-3-17, received by our office on February 19, 2013. These regulations were 

reviewed by comparison to the equivalent Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) rules in 10 

CFR Parts 19, 20, 30, 31, 32, 33, 35, 40, 61, 70, and 150 and the requirements of the five 

amendments identified in the enclosed State Regulation Status (SRS) Data Sheet. We 

discussed our review of the regulations with Chuck Mueller on April 10, 2013. 

As a result of our review, we have 24 comments that have been identified in the enclosure. 

Please note that we have limited our review to regulations required for compatibility and/or 

health and safety. Under our current procedure, a finding that the Georgia regulations meet the 

compatibility and health and safety categories of the equivalent NRC regulation may only be 

made based on a review of the final Georgia regulations. However, we have determined that if 

your proposed regulations were adopted, incorporating our comments and without other 

significant change, they would meet the compatibility and health and safety categories 

established in the Office of Federal and State Materials and Environmental Management 

Programs (FSME) Procedure SA-200, “Compatibility Categories and Health and Safety 

Identification for NRC Regulations and Other Program Elements.” 

We request that when the proposed regulations are adopted and published as final regulations, 

a copy of the “as published” regulations be provided to us for review. As requested in FSME 

Procedure SA-201, “Review of State Regulatory Requirements,” please highlight the final 

changes, and provide a copy to Division of Materials Safety and State Agreements, FSME. 

The SRS Data Sheet summarizes our knowledge of the status of other Georgia regulations, 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, is 

posted on the FSME website: http://nrc-stp.ornl.gov/rulemaking.html.

 COMPATIBILITY COMMENTS ON GEORGIA PROPOSED REGULATIONS 

STATE SECTION NRC SECTION RATS ID CATEGORY SUBJECT and COMMENTS 

1 391-3-17-

.07(4) 

19.13 2008-1 C Notification and reports to 

individuals 

Georgia (GA) is missing a reference 

in 391-3-17-.07(4)(d). The reference 

should be “When a licensee is 

required pursuant to Rule 391-3-17-

.03(15) (b), (c), and (d) of this 

Chapter...” in order to match the 

references to 10 CR 20.2202, 

20.2203 and 20.2204. 

GA needs to make the above change 

in order to meet the Compatibility 

Category C designation assigned to 

10 CFR 19.13. 

2 391-3-17-

.03(i) 

20.2006(e) 2007-3 B Transfer for disposal and 

manifests 

GA omits equivalent text to 10 CFR 

20.2006 from 391-3-17-.03(13)(i). 

Currently .03(13)(i) only contains text 

equivalent to 10 CFR 20 Appendix G. 

GA needs to make the above change 

to 391-3-17-.03(13)(i) in order to meet 

the Compatibility Category B 

designation assigned to 10 CFR 

20.2006. 

3 391-3-17-

.02(3)(a) 

30.14 2007-2 B Exempt Concentrations 

GA is missing a reference in 391-3-

17-.02(3)(a)(1). The first sentence 

should read “Except as provided in 

(3)(a)(2) and (3) ...” 

GA is missing an equivalent 

regulation to 10 CFR 30.14(b). 

GA lists incorrect reference in 391-3-

17-.02(3)(a)(3). GA needs to change 

(3)(a)(3) to read: “No person may 

introduce radioactive material into a 

product or material knowing or having

STATE SECTION NRC SECTION RATS ID CATEGORY SUBJECT and COMMENTS 

reason to believe that it will be 

transferred to persons exempt under 

(3)(a) or equivalent Regulations of the 

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 

any Agreement State, or a Licensing 

State, except in accordance with a 

license issued pursuant to 10 CFR 

32.11.” NRC’s 10 CFR 32.11 is a 

Compatibility Category NRC and 

therefore a State cannot have an 

equivalent provision. 

GA needs to make the above 

changes in order to meet the 

Compatibility Category B designation 

assigned to 10 CFR 30.14.

4 391-3-17-

.02(3)(c) 

30.15 2007-2 

2007-3 

B Certain items containing byproduct 

material 

GA omits “or persons who initially 

transfer for sale or distribution” from 

391-3-17-.02(3)(c)(1). 

GA omits an equivalent regulation to 

10 CFR 30.15(b). 

GA needs to make the above 

changes in order to meet the 

Compatibility Category B designation 

assigned to 10 CFR 30.15. 

5 391-3-17-

.02(3)(b) 

30.18 2007-2 

2007-3 

B Exempt Quantities 

GA omits an equivalent section to 10 

CFR 30.18(b). 

GA omits “or transfer” between 

“repackaging” and “of radioactive 

material” in 391-3-17-.02(3)(b)(2). 

GA needs to make the above 

changes in order to meet the 

Compatibility Category B designation 

assigned to 10 CFR 30.18.

6 391-3-17-.02 

(3)(c)3. 

30.20(a) 2007-3 B Gas and aerosol detectors 

containing byproduct material 

GA references a GA regulation that is 

designated as a Compatibility NRC. 

GA needs to change .02(3)(c)3.(i) to 

read “...initially transferred in 

accordance with a specific license 

issued by the U.S. Nuclear 

Regulatory Commission pursuant to 

Section 32.26 of 10 CFR, Part 32; 

which authorizes the transfer of the 

detectors to persons who are exempt 

from regulatory requirements.” 

GA needs to remove all references to 

Section (11)(c) and replace those with 

10 CFR 32.26 in 391-3-17-

.02(3)(c)(3). Accordingly GA also 

needs to delete 391-1-17-.02(11)(c) 

since this regulation is a Category 

NRC. 

GA needs to make the above 

changes in order to meet the 

Compatibility Category B designation 

assigned to 10 CFR 30.20(a). 

7 391-3-17-.02 

(21)(b) 

30.71 2007-3 B Schedule B 

GA needs to remove the entires for 

Carbon 11, Nitrogen13, and Oxygen 

15 from its table. These items are not 

listed in NRC’s Schedule B and 

therefore would fall under the 

Category “Any byproduct material not 

listed above other than alpha emitting 

byproduct material.” The value for 

this is 0.1 microcuries. 

GA needs to make the above change 

in order to meet the Compatibility 

Category B designation assigned to 

10 CFR 30.71 Schedule B.

(21)(e) 

30.72 2007-3 B Schedule C – Quantities of 

radioactive material requiring 

consideration of the need for an 

emergency plan for responding to 

a release 

GA omits two entries from 391-3-17-

.02(21(e). GA needs to add 

Radium-226, .001 (Release Fraction), 

100 (Quantity in curies) and Mixed 

Corrosion products, .01 (Release 

Fraction), 10,000 (Quantity in curies). 

GA needs to make the above change 

in order to meet the Category H&S 

designation assigned to 10 CFR 

30.72.

.02(6)(c) 

31.5 2007-2 

2007-3 

C Certain detecting, measuring, 

gauging, or controlling devices and 

certain devices for producing light 

or an ionized atmosphere 

GA needs to delete “distribute” and 

replace it with the phrase “initially 

transferred” in 391-3-17-.02(11)(d)(1). 

GA has the wrong record retention 

requirements in (6)(c)(3)(iv). GA 

requires records of tests to be kept for 

one year after the next required test. 

NRC requires the records to be kept 

for three years after the next required 

test. GA is less restrictive. GA needs 

to change their record retention 

requirements to at least 3 years for 

each test in (6)(c)(3)(iv). 

GA omits an equivalent to 10 CFR 

31.5(c)(7). 

GA needs to change (6)(c)(3)(vii) to 

state “ Shall transfer or dispose of the 

device containing radioactive material 

only by export as provided by 10 CFR 

(c)(7) [Insert GA reference once 

adopted as noted in the comment

licensee as authorized in 

(6)(c)(3)(viii), or to a person 

authorized to receive the device by a 

specific license that authorizes waste 

collection, or equivalent regulations of 

the NRC or an Agreement State, or 

as otherwise approved under 

(6)(c)(3)(vii)(III).” 

GA needs to change the first 

sentence of (6)(c)(3)(vii)(II) to read 

“Within 30 days after transfer of a 

device to a specific licensee or export, 

the licensee shall furnish...” 

GA omits an equivalent regulation to 

10 CFR 31.5(c)(11). 

GA needs to add the following to 

(6)(c)(3)(xi)(III)(IV) “For portable 

devices, the address of the primary 

place of storage.” 

GA needs to add the following to 

(6)(c)(3)(xii) “For a portable device, a 

report of address change is only 

required for a change in the device’s 

primary place of storage.” 

GA needs to make the above 

changes in order to meet the 

Compatibility Category C designation 

assigned to 10 CFR 31.5.

GA needs to remove 391-3-17-

.02(11)(a) from their regulations. 10 

CFR 32.11 has been designated a 

Category NRC and therefore cannot 

be regulated by an Agreement State.

32.13 2007-2 C Same: Prohibition of introduction 

GA lists incorrect reference in 391-3-

17-.02(3)(a)(3). GA needs to change 

(3)(a)(3) to read: “No person may 

introduce radioactive material into a 

product or material knowing or having 

reason to believe that it will be 

transferred to persons exempt under 

(3)(a)1. or equivalent Regulations of 

the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission, any Agreement State, or 

a Licensing State, except in 

accordance with a license issued 

pursuant to 10 CFR 32.11.” NRC’s 10 

CFR 32.11 is a Compatibility 

Category NRC and therefore a State 

cannot have an equivalent provision. 

GA needs to make the above change

license 

GA omits equivalent regulations to 10 

CFR 32.72 (a)(2)(iv) and (v) from 391-

3-17-.02(11)(i). 

GA omits a reference in .02(11)(i)5.: 

“A licensee described by (11)(i)2.(iii):” 

When GA adds an equivalent 

regulation to 10 CFR 32.72(a)(2)(iv) 

they will need to list the reference in 

.02(11)(i)5. 

GA has an incorrect reference cited in 

.02(11)(i)5.(i). The sentence should 

read “May prepare 

radiopharmaceuticals for medical use, 

as defined in Rule .05 (2)(s) provided 

that the radiopharmaceutical is 

prepared by either an authorized 

nuclear pharmacist, as specified in (ii) 

and (iv) or an individual under the 

supervision of an authorized nuclear 

pharmacist as specified in Rule 

.05(18)(b).” 

GA lists an incorrect reference in 

.02(11)(i)5.(ii)(III). The sentence 

should read “Is designated as an 

authorized nuclear pharmacist in 

accordance with (iv).” 

GA’s rule in 391-3-17-.02(11)(i)5.(iv) 

is not essentially identical to NRC’s 

regulation. The paragraph should 

read “May designate a nuclear 

pharmacist in accordance with Rule 

.05(26) as an authorized nuclear 

pharmacist if the individual was a 

nuclear pharmacist preparing only 

radiopharmaceuticals containing 

accelerator produce radioactive
