or devices containing sealed sources for initial transfer to persons having a
specific license to receive those sealed sources or devices will be approved
subject to the following conditions:
A) The
applicant satisfies the general requirements specified in Section 330.250;
B) The
licensee subject to this subsection (m) shall not transfer a sealed source or
device containing a sealed source to any person, except in accordance with the
requirements of Section 330.400.
2) Any
manufacturer or initial distributor of a sealed source or device containing a
sealed source may submit a request to the Agency for evaluation of radiation
safety information about its product and for filing an evaluation sheet in the NRC
"Registry of Radioactive Sealed Sources and Devices".
3) The
request for review of a sealed source or a device must include sufficient
information about the design, manufacture, prototype testing, quality control
program, labeling, proposed uses and leak testing, and, for a device, the
request must also include sufficient information about installation, service
and maintenance, operating and safety instructions, and the device's potential
hazards to provide reasonable assurance that the radiation safety properties of
the source or device are adequate to protect health and minimize danger to life
and property.
4) The
Agency normally evaluates a sealed source or a device using radiation safety
criteria in accepted industry standards. If these standards and criteria do
not readily apply to a particular case, the Agency formulates reasonable standards
and criteria with the help of the manufacturer or distributor. The Agency
shall use criteria and standards sufficient to ensure that the radiation safety
properties of the device or sealed source are adequate to protect health and
minimize danger to life and property. Other subsections of this Section have
specific criteria that apply to certain products.
5) After
completion of the evaluation, the Agency issues a certificate of registration
to the person making the request. The certificate of registration acknowledges
the availability of the submitted information for inclusion in an application
for a specific license proposing use of the product, or concerning use under an
exemption from licensing or general license, as applicable, for the category of
certificate.
6) The
person submitting the request for evaluation and registration of safety
information about the product shall manufacture and distribute the product in
accordance with:
A) The
statements and representations, including quality control program, contained in
the request; and
B) The
provisions of the registration certificate.
7) Authority
to manufacture or initially distribute a sealed source or device to specific
licensees may be provided in the license without the issuance of a certificate
of registration in the following cases:
A) Calibration and
reference sources containing no more than:
i) 37
MBq (1 mCi), for beta and/or gamma emitting radionuclides; or
ii) 0.37
MBq (10 µCi), for alpha emitting radionuclides; or
B) The
intended recipients are qualified by training and experience, and have
sufficient facilities and equipment, to safely use and handle the requested
quantity of radioactive material in any form, in the case of unregistered
sources, or, for registered sealed sources contained in unregistered devices,
are qualified by training and experience and have sufficient facilities and
equipment, to safely use and handle the requested quantity of radioactive
material in unshielded form, as specified in their licenses; and
i) The
intended recipients are licensed under Section 330.270
or comparable provisions of NRC or
an Agreement State; or
ii) The recipients are
authorized for research and
development; or
iii) The sources and
devices are to be built to the unique
specifications of the particular
recipient and contain no more than 740 GBq (20 Ci) of tritium or 7.4 GBq (200
mCi) of any other radionuclide.
8) After the certificate
is issued, the Agency may conduct an additional
review as it determines is
necessary to ensure compliance with current regulatory standards. In
conducting its review, the Agency will complete its evaluation in accordance
with criteria specified in this Section. The Agency may request such
additional information as it considers necessary to conduct its review and the
certificate holder shall provide the information requested.
9) A
certificate holder who no longer manufactures or initially transfers any of the
sealed sources or devices covered by a particular certificate issued by the Agency
shall request inactivation of the registration certificate. The request must
be made to the Agency by an appropriate method listed in 32 Ill. Adm. Code
310.110 and must normally be made no later than two years after initial
distribution of all the sources or devices covered by the certificate has
ceased. However, if the certificate holder determines that an initial transfer
was in fact the last initial transfer more than 2 years after that transfer,
the certificate holder shall request inactivation of the certificate within 90
days after this determination and briefly describe the circumstances of the
delay.
10) If
a distribution license is to be terminated in accordance with Section 330.325,
the licensee shall request inactivation of its registration certificates
associated with that distribution license before the Agency will terminate the
license. A request for inactivation of certificates must indicate that the
license is being terminated and include the associated specific license
number.
11) A
specific license to manufacture or initially transfer a source or device
covered only by an inactivated
certificate no longer authorizes the licensee to initially transfer the sources
or devices for use. Servicing of devices must be in accordance with any
conditions in the certificate, including in the case of an inactive
certificate.
n) Manufacture
and Distribution of Radioactive Material for Medical Use Under General License.
A specific license authorizing the distribution of radioactive materials for
diagnostic medical use by a physician under a general license shall be issued
only if the applicant for the specific license satisfies the requirements of
