Uranium/Thorium Exempt?

["Erik C. Nielsen" <nielsenec@earthlink.net>]

The interpetation that I have been operating under is that a someone that
does not have a radioactive material license is allowed to possess this
material under a "general license" but when you have a rad material license
the material is no longer generally licensed and is part of your
radioactive inventory with all associated controls.

A very similar situation occurs with Ni-63 sources in ECD's.  The license
is held by the manufacturer, you must do wipe tests but the sources are
considered generally licensed.  Get a radioactive material license and
these items get "captured" by the license.  There are other similar exempt
source situations where the controls needed depend on your license status.
