Re: Exempt quantities



Exempt means exempt.
 
Sources manufactured and distributed as exempt are exempt from all regulation with regards to radiation, including disposal.  This simply recognizes the fact that as a practical matter it is impossible to "unexempt" something after its been released from all controls.
 
If it is necessary to control the disposal of a source, it is not an appropriate candidate for exempt distribution in the first place.
