Proposed NRC rule will track sealed sources

Proposed NRC rule will track sealed sources

Washington (Platts)--20Jul2005

A national tracking system for certain radioactive materials in sealed sources
would be implemented under a proposed NRC rule. Licensees would have to report
information about the manufacture, transfer, receipt or disposal of the
sources of interest to an automated National Source Tracking System. Each
licensee would also have to provide its initial inventory of trackable
sources, and manufacturers would have to assign a unique serial number to each
source of interest. Further details will be published soon in a Federal
Register notice, NRC said today.
