NAC459.264. Broad licenses: Types of licenses.
- The types of broad licenses available are:
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, not exceeding quantities specified in the license, for any authorized purpose, including, without limitation, medical use of radioactive material. 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 NAC 459.266, for any authorized purpose. The possession limit for a type B broad license, if only one radionuclide is possessed under the license, is the quantity specified for that radionuclide in Column I of NAC 459.266. 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 Column I of NAC 459.266 for that radionuclide. The sum of the ratios for all radionuclides possessed under the license must 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 NAC 459.266 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 Column II of NAC 459.266. 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 Column II of NAC 459.266 for that radionuclide. The sum of the ratios for all radionuclides possessed under the license must not exceed unity.
