The purpose of these proposed rule changes is to maintain required compatibility with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission by updating department rules for use of radioactive materials or radiation from radioactive materials, address processes not permitted by statute and update financial surety methodology. Changes will also include the use of discrete sources of radium 226, naturally occurring radioactive material or accelerator produced radioactive materials and use of radioactive materials within the State of Florida. Some of the proposed rule changes will provide possession and use of radioactive materials under a new general license instead of a specific license. Changes will also be in requests for exemption from financial surety processes, requirements for financial surety and clarification of financial surety mechanisms.
