Illinois Administrative Code › Title 32 - ENERGY › Part 331 - FEES FOR RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL LICENSEES › Section 331.30 - Definitions

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
The following definitions are applicable for use in this Part
				only. Additional definitions for use in this Part are located in 32 Ill. Adm.
				Code
				310.20.
"Application" means a request filed with the Agency for a
				license, amendment, termination, renewal, sealed source or device evaluation,
				amendment to a sealed source or device evaluation or an exemption granted by
				the Agency pursuant to 32 Ill. Adm. Code: Chapter II.
"Amendment" means a modification in the license document that
				reflects changes to a radiation safety program or modifications to a sealed
				source or device evaluation.
"Anniversary date" means the last day of the month for each
				year the license is in effect, corresponding to the month in which the license
				expires.
AGENCY NOTE: For purposes of this Part, the 28th shall be
				considered the last day of the month of February.
"Billing year" means the period of time from October 1 of one
				year to September 30 of the following year.
"Category I irradiator" means a gamma irradiator in which the
				sealed source is completely contained in a dry container constructed of solid
				material, the sealed source is shielded at all times, and human access to the
				sealed source and the volume undergoing irradiation is not physically possible
				because of the design of the irradiator.
"Category II irradiator" means a controlled human access gamma
				irradiator in which the sealed source is contained in a dry container
				constructed of solid materials, is fully shielded when not in use and is
				exposed within a radiation volume that is maintained inaccessible during use by
				an entry control system.
"Category III irradiator" means a gamma irradiator in which the
				sealed source is contained in a storage pool, the sealed source is shielded at
				all times, and human access to the sealed source and the volume undergoing
				irradiation is physically restricted in its design configuration and proper
				mode of use.
"Category IV irradiator" means a controlled human access gamma
				irradiator in which the sealed source is contained in a storage pool, is fully
				shielded when not in use and is exposed within a radiation volume that is
				maintained inaccessible during use by an entry control system.
"Confirmatory environmental monitoring" means those surveys
				conducted by the Agency either to establish whether the licensee has complied
				with the concentrations and exposure limits or dose limits specified in 32 Ill.
				Adm. Code 332, 340, 601 or 606, or to provide data to evaluate potential health
				and environmental impacts resulting from licensed activities.
"Custom sealed source or device evaluation" means a document
				issued by the Agency for either a sealed source or a device containing
				radioactive material, built to the unique specifications for use at the site
				specified in the evaluation.
"Dispensing" means to remove aliquots of radioactive material
				from bulk stock and distribute portions to another licensee or to a person
				exempt from licensure.
"Distribution" means the transfer of radioactive material to
				three or more licensees or persons exempt from licensure pursuant to 32 Ill.
				Adm. Code 330 or 332.
"Educational institution" means a non-profit organization that
				has as its primary purpose the advancement of knowledge in one or more specific
				fields and that is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and
				Schools or equivalent.
"Manufacture" means the dispensing or processing of radioactive
				material or the assembly of radioactive material as sealed sources into
				devices.
AGENCY NOTE: A person manufacturing or assembling devices
				intended to utilize radioactive sealed sources may need to obtain a license
				authorizing manufacturing, even if that device is to be evaluated for safety by
				the Agency for distribution without the radioactive component.
"Materials license" means a radioactive material license issued
				pursuant to 32 Ill. Adm. Code 330, 332 or 601.
"Permanent jobsite" means any location where licensed material
				is stored or used for more than 180 days during any consecutive 12 months, or
				any site listed on a specific license that authorizes receipt, use or storage
				of radioactive material.
"Primary material use category" means the category described in
				Appendix E that corresponds to the category of use of radioactive material with
				the highest fee, either authorized by the license or requested by the
				applicant.
"Processing" means the preparation, manipulation or conversion
				of radioactive material.
"Remote site" means any permanent jobsite that is located in an
				area that is not contiguous to the primary use location.
"Sealed source or device evaluation" means a document issued by
				the Agency, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, an Agreement State or a
				Licensing State, indicating that the sealed source or device specified on the
				document has been evaluated for distribution.
"Temporary jobsite" means any location where licensed material
				is used or stored for 180 days or less during any consecutive 12 months, and
				not specifically listed on a radioactive materials license.
AGENCY NOTE: For mobile nuclear medicine licensees in fee
				category 208F, radioactive material can only be shipped to and received at
				sites specifically listed on a radioactive material license; therefore,
				material cannot be shipped to a temporary jobsite, but may be transported to
				temporary sites by the licensee.
"Treatment" means any method, technique or process, including
				storage for radioactive decay, designed to change the physical, chemical or
				biological characteristics or composition of any waste in order to render the
				waste safer for transport, storage or disposal, amenable to recovery,
				convertible to another usable material or reduced in volume. [420 ILCS 20/3
