paragraph does not authorize the manufacture, assembly, disassembly,
or repair of strontium-90 in ice detection devices.
(F) General license for intrastate transportation of
radioactive material.
(i) A general license is issued to any common or contract
carrier to transport and store radioactive material in the regular
course of their carriage for another or storage incident to transport,
provided the transportation and storage is in accordance with the
applicable requirements of §289.257 of this title insofar as
such requirements relate to the loading and storage of packages, placarding
of the transporting vehicle, and incident reporting. Any notification
of incidents referred to in those requirements shall be filed with
the agency and the United States Department of Transportation (DOT).
Persons who transport and store radioactive material in accordance
with the general license in this paragraph are exempt from the requirements
of §289.202 and §289.203 of this title except for §289.202(ww)
- (yy) of this title.
(ii) A general license is issued to any private carrier
to transport radioactive material, provided the transportation is
in accordance with the applicable requirements, appropriate to the
mode of transport, of the DOT insofar as such requirements relate
to the loading and storage of packages, placarding of the transporting
vehicle, and incident reporting. Any notification of incidents referred
to in those requirements shall be filed with the DOT, and with the
agency in accordance with §289.202(ww) - (yy) of this title.
(G) General license for the use of radioactive material
for certain in vitro clinical or laboratory
testing, not to include research and development. (The New Drug provisions
of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act also govern the availability
and use of any specific diagnostic drugs in interstate commerce.)
(i) A general license is issued to any physician, veterinarian,
clinical laboratory, or hospital to receive, acquire, possess, transfer,
or use, for any of the following stated tests, in accordance with
clauses (ii) - (iii) of this subparagraph, the following radioactive
materials in prepackaged units:

or laboratory tests not involving internal or external administration
of radioactive material, or the radiation therefrom, to humans or
animals;
(II) iodine-131, in units not exceeding 10 µCi
(0.37 MBq) each for use in in vitro clinical
or laboratory tests not involving internal or external administration
of radioactive material, or the radiation therefrom, to humans or
animals;
(III) carbon-14, in units not exceeding 10 µCi
(0.37 MBq) each for use in in vitro clinical
or laboratory tests not involving internal or external administration
