Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
This section prescribes requirements for the issuance of
						specific licenses of broad scope for radioactive material and certain
						regulations governing holders of such licenses. (Authority to transfer
						possession or control by the manufacturer, processor, or producer of any
						equipment, device, commodity, or other product containing byproduct material
						whose subsequent possession, use, transfer, and disposal by all other persons
						are exempted from regulatory requirements may be obtained only from the Nuclear
						Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555-0001.)
A. The different types of broad scope
					 licenses are set forth below:
1. A "Type A
					 specific license of broad scope" is a specific license authorizing receipt,
					 acquisition, ownership, possession, use and transfer of any chemical or
					 physical form of the radioactive material specified in the license, but not
					 exceeding quantities specified in the license, for any authorized purpose. The
					 quantities specified are usually in the multicurie range.
2. A "Type B specific license of broad scope"
					 is a specific license authorizing receipt, acquisition, ownership, possession,
					 use and transfer of any chemical or physical form of radioactive material
					 specified in
					 12VAC5-481-3760, for any
					 authorized purpose. The possession limit for a Type B license of broad scope,
					 if only one radionuclide is possessed thereunder, is the quantity specified for
					 that radionuclide in
					 12VAC5-481-3760, Column I. If two
					 or more radionuclides are possessed thereunder, the possession limit for each
					 is determined as follows: for each radionuclide, determine the ratio of the
					 quantity possessed to the applicable quantity specified in
					 12VAC5-481-3760, Column I, for
					 that radionuclide. The sum of the ratios for all radionuclides possessed under
					 the license shall not exceed unity.
3. A "Type C specific license of broad scope"
					 is a specific license authorizing receipt, acquisition, ownership, possession,
					 use, and transfer of any chemical or physical form of radioactive material
					 specified in
					 12VAC5-481-3760, for any
					 authorized purpose. The possession limit for a Type C license of broad scope,
					 if only one radionuclide is possessed thereunder, is the quantity specified for
					 that radionuclide in
					 12VAC5-481-3760, Column II. If two
					 or more radionuclides are possessed thereunder, the possession limit is
					 determined for each as follows: for each radionuclide, determine the ratio of
					 the quantity possessed to the applicable quantity specified in
					 12VAC5-481-3760, Column II, for
					 that radionuclide. The sum of the ratios for all radionuclides possessed under
					 the license shall not exceed unity.
