[ RadSafe ] Regulatory Question

[Russ Johnson]

Had a question to post to the forum. This is quite basic, but I've not 
received a clear answer. Is the receiver of a domestic rad material 
shipment exempted from the requirement of having a license to receive 
that particlar isotope, if the isotope shipped is an excepted, limited 
quantity? Is that based on an NRC reg (and what is the citation if so)? 
I'm not a certified shipper these days, but I do need to know this to 
assist others. Thanks.
