Why is the NRC using IAEA values to limit the quantity of byproduct material in a GL device?
The NRC supports U.S. Government efforts to establish consistent and uniform international guidance for the safety and security of radioactive materials of concern, which resulted in a major revision of the IAEA’s Code of Conduct on the Safety and Security of Radioactive Sources . In particular, the Code of Conduct contains a recommendation that each IAEA Member State develop a national source registry.
