[ RadSafe ] RE: DU Licensing

[David Wesley]

The link below will take you to an interesting NRC document that points
out that NRC doesn't keep jurisdiction over these materials when used
outside of the US or its possessions, and also shows what happened when
they were inadvertently used.

Subject: [ RadSafe ] DU Licensing

Here's a licensing question for the group:  what happens to licensed  DU

after it is used as military  projectiles/penetrators?  The  stuff can
and does 
turn up in D&D operations long after the DU rounds  were fired.  Is the
rule: 
once licensed, always licensed?  Has anyone  addressed this question
with regard 
to DU?
