R313-19-20. Types of Licenses.

Licenses for radioactive materials are of two types: general and specific.

(1) General licenses provided in Rule R313-21 are effective without the filing of applications with the [Executive Secretary]Director or the issuance of licensing documents to the particular persons, although the filing of a registration certificate with the [Executive Secretary]Director may be required by the particular general license. The general licensee is subject to the other applicable portions of these rules and limitations of the general license.

(2) Specific licenses require the submission of an application to the [Executive Secretary]Director and the issuance of a licensing document by the [Executive Secretary]Director. The licensee is subject to applicable portions of these rules as well as limitations specified in the licensing document.

 

R313-19-25. Prelicensing Inspection.

The [Executive Secretary]Director may verify information contained in applications and secure additional information deemed necessary to make a reasonable determination as to whether to issue a license and whether special conditions should be attached thereto by visiting the facility or location where radioactive materials would be possessed or used, and by discussing details of the proposed possession or use of the radioactive materials with the applicant or representatives designated by the applicant. Such visits may be made by representatives of the [Board or the Executive Secretary]Director.

 

R313-19-30. Reciprocal Recognition of Licenses.

(1) Subject to these rules, a person who holds a specific license from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, an Agreement State, or Licensing State, and issued by the agency having jurisdiction where the licensee maintains an office for directing the licensed activity and at which radiation safety records are normally maintained, is hereby granted a general license to conduct the activities authorized in the licensing document within this state, except in areas of exclusive federal jurisdiction, for a period not in excess of 180 days in a calendar year provided that:

(a) the licensing document does not limit the activity authorized by the document to specified installations or locations;

(b) the out-of-state licensee notifies the [Executive Secretary]Director in writing at least three days prior to engaging in such activity. Notifications shall indicate the location, period, and type of proposed possession and use within the state, and shall be accompanied by a copy of the pertinent licensing document. If, for a specific case, the three-day period would impose an undue hardship on the out-of-state licensee, the licensee may, upon application to the [Executive Secretary]Director, obtain permission to proceed sooner. The [Executive Secretary]Director may waive the requirement for filing additional written notifications during the remainder of the calendar year following the receipt of the initial notification from a person engaging in activities under the general license provided in Subsection R313-19-30(1);

(c) the out-of-state licensee complies with all applicable rules of the Board and with the terms and conditions of the licensing document, except those terms and conditions which may be inconsistent with applicable rules of the Board;

(d) the out-of-state licensee supplies other information as the [Executive Secretary]Director may request; and

(e) the out-of-state licensee shall not transfer or dispose of radioactive material possessed or used under the general license provided in Subsection R313-19-30(1) except by transfer to a person specifically licensed by the [Executive Secretary]Director or by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, a Licensing State, or an Agreement State to receive the material.

(2) Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection R313-19-30(1), a person who holds a specific license issued by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, a Licensing State, or an Agreement State authorizing the holder to manufacture, transfer, install, or service a device described in Subsection R313-21-22(4) within the areas subject to the jurisdiction of the licensing body is hereby granted a general license to install, transfer, demonstrate, or service a device in this state provided that:

(a) the person shall file a report with the [Executive Secretary]Director within thirty days after the end of a calendar quarter in which a device is transferred to or installed in this state. Reports shall identify each general licensee to whom a device is transferred by name and address, the type of device transferred, and the quantity and type of radioactive material contained in the device;

(b) the device has been manufactured, labeled, installed, and serviced in accordance with applicable provisions of the specific license issued to the person by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, a Licensing State, or an Agreement State;

(c) the person shall assure that any labels required to be affixed to the device under rules of the authority which licensed manufacture of the device bear a statement that "Removal of this label is prohibited"; and

(d) the holder of the specific license shall furnish to the general licensee to whom the device is transferred or on whose premises a device is installed a copy of the general license contained in Subsection R313-21-22(4) or in equivalent rules of the agency having jurisdiction over the manufacture and distribution of the device.

(3) The [Executive Secretary]Director may withdraw, limit, or qualify his acceptance of a specific license or equivalent licensing document issued by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, a Licensing State or an Agreement State, or a product distributed pursuant to the licensing document, upon determining that the action is necessary in order to prevent undue hazard to public health and safety or the environment.

          (1)  In expressing the concentrations in Section 
R313-19-70, the activity stated is that of the parent 
radionuclide and takes into account the radioactive decay 
products, because many radionuclides disintegrate into 
radionuclides which are also radioactive.
     (2)  For purposes of Subsection R313-19-13(2)(a) where
there is involved a combination of radionuclides, the limit 
for the combination should be derived as follows:  Determine 
for  each radionuclide in the product the ratio between the 
radioactivity concentration present in the product and the 
exempt radioactivity concentration established in Section 
R313-19-70 for the specific radionuclide when not in 
combination.  The sum of the ratios may not exceed one or 
unity.
     (3)  To convert microcuries (uCi) to SI units of
kilobecquerels (kBq), multiply the above values by 37.
