Description

Concerns remain over the control of sealed radiological sources, widely used in many industrial and medical devices and applications. The NRC, the DoE, and states have responsibilities for ensuring the safe and secure use and eventual disposal of these sources as low-level radioactive wastes. DoE must ensure disposal avail. for greater-than-class C (GTCC) waste; states must do so for non-GTCC waste. NRC and DoE also collaborate to identify and recover unwanted sources that are not safe or secure.
