Exemptions From Materials Licensing
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing to amend several regulations for byproduct, source, and special nuclear material by expanding how certain nuclear material can be safely used without a license. This proposed action would be responsive to the NRC's mission to enable safe, efficient, and reliable licensing and consistent with several Executive orders. These changes would be deregulatory in nature, eliminating the need to obtain licenses for certain materials uses and quantities.
