| (a) Each licensee who manufactures, transfers, receives,
disassembles, or disposes of a nationally tracked source shall complete
and submit to the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
a National Source Tracking Transaction Report as specified in paragraphs
(1) - (6) of this subsection for each type of transaction.
(1) Each licensee who manufactures a nationally tracked
source shall complete and submit to NRC a National Source Tracking
Transaction Report. The report must include the following information:
(A) the name, address, and license number of the reporting
licensee;
(B) the name of the individual preparing the report;
(C) the manufacturer, model, and serial number of the
source;
(D) the radioactive material in the source;
(E) the initial source strength in becquerels (curies)
at the time of manufacture; and
(F) the manufacture date of the source.
(2) Each licensee that transfers a nationally tracked
source to another person shall complete and submit to NRC a National
Source Tracking Transaction Report. The report shall include the following
information:
(A) the name, address, and license number of the reporting
licensee;
(B) the name of the individual preparing the report;
(C) the name and license number of the recipient facility
and the shipping address;
(D) the manufacturer, model, and serial number of the
source or, if not available, other information to uniquely identify
the source;
(E) the radioactive material in the source;
(F) the initial or current source strength in becquerels
(curies);
(G) the date for which the source strength is reported;
(H) the shipping date;
(I) the estimated arrival date; and
(J) for nationally tracked sources transferred as waste
under a Uniform Low-Level Radioactive Waste Manifest, the waste manifest
number and the container identification of the container with the
nationally tracked source.
(3) Each licensee that receives a nationally tracked
source shall complete and submit to NRC a National Source Tracking
Transaction Report. The report shall include the following information:
(A) the name, address, and license number of the reporting
licensee;
(B) the name of the individual preparing the report;
(C) the name, address, and license number of the person
that provided the source;
(D) the manufacturer, model, and serial number of the
source or, if not available, other information to uniquely identify
the source;
(E) the radioactive material in the source;
(F) the initial or current source strength in becquerels
(curies);
(G) the date for which the source strength is reported;
(H) the date of receipt; and
(I) for material received under a Uniform Low-Level
Radioactive Waste Manifest, the waste manifest number and the container
identification with the nationally tracked source.
(4) Each licensee that disassembles a nationally tracked
source shall complete and submit to NRC a National Source Tracking
Transaction Report. The report shall include the following information:
(A) the name, address, and license number of the reporting
licensee;
(B) the name of the individual preparing the report;
(C) the manufacturer, model, and serial number of the
source or, if not available, other information to uniquely identify
the source;
(D) the radioactive material in the source;
(E) the initial or current source strength in becquerels
(curies);
(F) the date for which the source strength is reported;
and
(G) the disassemble date of the source.
(5) Each licensee who disposes of a nationally tracked
source shall complete and submit to NRC a National Source Tracking
Transaction Report. The report shall include the following information:
(A) the name, address, and license number of the reporting
licensee;
(B) the name of the individual preparing the report;
(C) the waste manifest number;
(D) the container identification with the nationally
tracked source;
(E) the date of disposal; and
(F) the method of disposal.
(6) The reports discussed in paragraphs (1) - (6) of
this subsection shall be submitted to NRC by the close of the next
business day after the transaction. A single report may be submitted
for multiple sources and transactions. The reports shall be submitted
to the National Source Tracking System by using the following:
(A) the on-line National Source Tracking System;
(B) electronically using a computer-readable format;
(C) by facsimile;
(D) by mail to the address on the National Source Tracking
Transaction Report Form (NRC Form 748); or
(E) by telephone with follow-up by facsimile or mail.
(7) Each licensee shall correct any error in previously
filed reports or file a new report for any missed transaction within
five business days of the discovery of the error or missed transaction.
Such errors may be detected by a variety of methods such as administrative
reviews or by physical inventories required by regulation. In addition,
each licensee shall reconcile the inventory of nationally tracked
sources possessed by the licensee against that licensee's data in
the National Source Tracking System. The reconciliation shall be conducted
during the month of January in each year. The reconciliation process
shall include resolving any discrepancies between the National Source
Tracking System and the actual inventory by filing the reports identified
by paragraphs (1) - (6) of this subsection. By January 31 of each
year, each licensee shall submit to the National Source Tracking System
confirmation that the data in the National Source Tracking System
is correct.
(8) Each licensee that possesses Category 1 or Category
2 nationally tracked sources listed in subsection (b) of this section
shall report its initial inventory of Category 1 or Category 2 nationally
tracked sources to the National Source Tracking System by January
31, 2009. The information may be submitted to NRC by using any of
the methods identified by paragraph (6)(A) - (E) of this subsection.
The initial inventory report shall include the following information:
(A) the name, address, and license number of the reporting
licensee;
(B) the name of the individual preparing the report;
(C) the manufacturer, model, and serial number of each
nationally tracked source or, if not available, other information
to uniquely identify the source;
(D) the radioactive material in the sealed source;
(E) the initial or current source strength in becquerels
(curies); and
(F) the date for which the source strength is reported.
(b) Nationally tracked source thresholds. The Terabecquerel
(TBq) values are the regulatory standards. The curie values specified
are obtained by converting from the TBq value. The curie values are
provided for practical usefulness only and are rounded after conversion.
The following table contains nationally tracked source thresholds.
