Section 31.11 of 10 CFR 31 establishes a general license authorizing physicians, clinical laboratories, hospitals, and veterinarians in the practice of veterinary medicine to
possess certain small quantities of byproduct material for in vitro clinical or laboratory tests not involving the internal or external administration of the byproduct material or
the radiation therefrom to human beings or animals. Possession of byproduct material under 10 CFR 31.11 is not authorized until the physician, clinical laboratory, hospital,
or veterinarian in the practice of veterinary medicine, has filed NRC Form 483 and received from the Commission a validated copy of NRC Form 483 with a registration
number.
