Re: NRC Licensing of Am-241

["Spell, Bill" <bills@deq.state.la.us>]

Now you have me confused, Wes.  What makes a "....person exempt from 
licensing...."?  I am not aware of any regulation which makes a person 
"exempt" from licensing if that person has/wants to have licensable 
quantities of radioactive material (in Agreement States) or by-product 
material (in non-Agreement States).  But.......I'm willing to learn.  I 
haven't had to deal with this in a long, long time.  I suppose if a person 
is "exempt," it's because he has nothing more than exempt quantities in 
his/her possession.

Kent and Fellow Radsafers,

Kent, you are dead wrong here. It is perfectly clear that a licensee may
transfer a portion of his/her licensed material to a person exempt from
licensing. (And do it many times over, as long as it is not commercial
distribution.)

See 10 CFR 30.41 and then read 10 CFR 30.18.

Cheers, Wes
