A person authorized under part 4731.4403 , subpart 1, for medical use of radioactive material may receive, possess, and use the following radioactive material for check, calibration, transmission, and reference use: A. sealed sources that do not exceed 30 millicuries (1.11 GBq) each and that are manufactured and distributed by a person licensed under part 4731.3400 or equivalent requirements of the NRC or an agreement state; B. sealed sources that do not exceed 30 millicuries (1.11 GBq) each and that are redistributed by a licensee authorized to redistribute the sealed sources manufactured and distributed by a person licensed under part 4731.3400 , providing the redistributed sealed sources are in the original packaging and shielding and are accompanied by the manufacturer's approved instructions; C. any radioactive material with a half-life not longer than 120 days in individual amounts not to exceed 15 millicuries (0.56 GBq); D. any radioactive material with a half-life longer than 120 days in individual amounts not to exceed the smaller of 200 microcuries (7.4 MBq) or 1,000 times the quantities in part 4731.3160 ; and E. technetium-99m in amounts as needed. Subp. 2. Restriction of use. Radioactive material in sealed sources authorized by this part must not be: A. used for medical use as defined in part 4731.0100 except in accordance with the requirements in part 4731.4460 ; or B. combined (i.e., bundled or aggregated) to create an activity greater than the maximum activity of any single sealed source authorized under this part. Subp. 3. Listing on license. A licensee using calibration, transmission, and reference sources in accordance with subpart 1 or 2 need not list these sources on a specific medical use license.
