Purpose


All changes described herein are needed to comply with the requirements of Florida’s agreement with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to regulate radioactive material. As an agreement state, many of Florida’s regulations governing the possession and use of radioactive materials must be identical to the NRC’s regulations for federal radioactive materials licensees. The proposed rule specifies requirements for transportation of radioactive materials; national tracking of certain large radioactive sources; general license device transfers and export requirements; manufacturer or distributors of generally licensed devices requirements; reciprocity recognition of out of state licenses reporting requirements; technical changes in the use of energy compensation sources; and written procedures for inspection and maintenance of industrial radiography equipment.
