Byproduct vs. Accelerator Produced Materials

[Tad Blanchard <Tad.M.Blanchard.1@gsfc.nasa.gov>]

Happy New Year All:

I have a question that might apply to other government facilities that
purchase or use Accelerator Produced Materials (for example Calcium-41).

We just purchased two sealed sources of calcium-41 (0.15 uCi each).  We are
a federal facility and do not have a "State" license to possess these
materials but we do keep close inventories on the material (in conjunction
with our NRC Byproduct License).

How are Accelerator Produced materials licensed?
