ALL AGREEMENT STATES

ANNUAL COUNT OF ACTIVE RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL LICENSES IN THE NATIONAL MATERIALS PROGRAM (STC-20-XXX)

Purpose: To update the count of radioactive material specific licenses, general licenses/registrations, and generally-licensed devices currently active in the National Materials Program.

Background: Annually, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requests that all Agreement States provide the number of specific radioactive material licenses currently active under their jurisdiction. Additionally, the NRC is requesting that all Agreement States who have regulations compatible with Title 10 Code of the Federal Regulations (CFR) 31.5, regarding general licenses, update the total number of general licenses/registrations and generally-licensed devices currently active under their jurisdiction.

Discussion: The latest count of specific material licenses in the National Materials Program as of February 25, 2020, is provided in Enclosure 1. Please revise the total number of currently active specific material licenses under your State’s jurisdiction and indicate how many of those licenses are categorized as either industrial, medical, academic or other.

The NRC is requesting that all Agreement States provide the following information on the total number of general licensed devices: (1) Active general licensees that are registered as per 10 CFR 31.5 or your compatible regulations, (2) Active general licensees that only possess tritium, if tracked by your state, (3) Active general licensees, this would include those registered per 10 CFR 31.5 (or your compatible regulations), any licensees that possess only tritium, and any remaining general licensees, (4) Generally licensed devices that are registered as per 10 CFR 31.5 or your compatible regulations, (5) Generally licensed devices that contain tritium, if tracked by your state, (6) Generally licensed devices possessed by the general licensees in Question number three. (Please note that an active general licensee would be one that has a current registration or has received, but not reported the transfer of their generally licensed device(s). If you do not know the number of licensees that possess only tritium or the number of devices that contain tritium, please specifically indicate that your totals do not include tritium.) If you have questions regarding the information requested on general licensees or devices, please feel free to contact the individual noted below.

We would appreciate your email response providing the updated count of specific licenses and general licenses to the point of contact below within 30 days of the date of this letter.¹ If you have any questions regarding this communication, please contact the individual named below:
