and thorium at any one time.
(-a-) A person authorized to possess, use, and transfer
source material as specified in this clause may not receive more than
a total of 70 kg (154 lb) of uranium and thorium in any 1 calendar

material as specified in this clause may not receive more than a total
of 70 kg (154 lb) of source material in any 1 calendar year.
(ii) Any person who receives, possesses, uses, or transfers
source material in accordance with the general license in clause (i)
of this subparagraph:
(I) is prohibited from administering source material,
or the radiation therefrom, either externally or internally, to human

(-a-) a cumulative total of 0.5 kg (1.1 lb) of source
material in a solid, non-dispersible form may be transferred each
calendar year, by a person authorized to receive, possess, use, and

persons receiving the material for permanent disposal. The recipient
of source material transferred in accordance with this item is exempt
from the requirements to obtain a license as specified in subsection

(iii) Any person who receives, possesses, uses, or
transfers source material in accordance with clause (i) of this subparagraph
shall conduct activities so as to minimize contamination of the facility
and the environment. When activities involving such source material
are permanently ceased at any site, if evidence of significant contamination
is identified, the general licensee shall notify the agency about
such contamination and may consult with the agency as to the appropriateness
of sampling and restoration activities to ensure that any contamination
or residual source material remaining at the site where source material
was used in accordance with this general license is not likely to
result in exposures that exceed the limits in §289.202(ddd)(2)
of this title.
(iv) Any person who receives, possesses, uses, or transfers
source material in accordance with the general license granted in
clause (i) of this subparagraph is exempt from the regulations in §§289.201,

any agreement state, unless authorized by a specific license issued
in accordance with §289.252(cc)(6)(A) of this title or equivalent
regulations of the NRC or any agreement state. This prohibition does
not apply to analytical laboratories returning processed samples to
the client who initially provided the sample. Initial distribution

this subparagraph may be continued until the NRC takes final action
on a pending application for license or license amendment to specifically
authorize distribution submitted on or before August 27, 2014.
(B) A general license is issued to own source material
without regard to quantity. This general license does not authorize
any person to receive, possess, use or transfer source material.
(C) A general license is issued to mine, transport,
and transfer ores containing source material without regard to quantity.
In addition to the provisions of subsection (f) of this section, persons

over the depleted uranium in accordance with this paragraph and designed
to prevent transfer of such depleted uranium in any form, including
metal scrap, to persons not authorized to receive the depleted uranium;
and
(III) name and/or title, address, and telephone number
of the individual duly authorized to act for and on behalf of the
