The different types of broad licenses are
:
(a) 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 multi-curie range.
(b) 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 WAC
				  246-235-140
				  Schedule B, for any authorized purpose. The possession limit for a Type B broad
				  license, if only one radionuclide is possessed thereunder, is the quantity
				  specified for that ra-dionuclide in WAC
				  246-235-140
				  Schedule B, Column I. If two or more radionuclides are possessed, 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 WAC
				  246-235-140
				  Schedule B, Column I, for that radionuclide. The sum of the ratios for all
				  radionuclides possessed under the license must not exceed unity.
(c) 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 WAC
				  246-235-140
				  Schedule B, for any authorized purpose. The possession limit for a Type C broad
				  license, if only one radionuclide is possessed, is the quantity specified for
				  that radionuclide in WAC
				  246-235-140
				  Schedule B, Column II. If two or more radionuclides are possessed, 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 WAC
				  246-235-140
				  Schedule B, Column II, for that radionuclide. The sum of the ratios for all
				  radionuclides possessed under the license must not exceed
				  unity.
