Re: Byproduct vs. Accelerator Produced Materials
Tad (et al):
It depends on the Federal Department, Agency to which your facility
is subordinate ... for instance, Army organizations submit applications
to possess/use other-than-byproduct material, which are similar (in
principle) to NRC/State Applications, to a designated office of the
Department of the Army. After review/approval, the organization is
issued a Department of the Army Authorization to possess/use Radio-
active Material which is specific to other-than-byproduct material.

Subject: Byproduct vs. Accelerator Produced Materials
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?
