Information Notice No. 90-15: RECIPROCITY: NOTIFICATION OF AGREEMENT
STATE RADIATION CONTROL DIRECTORS BEFORE
BEGINNING WORK IN AGREEMENT STATES
Addressees:
All holders of Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) materials licenses which
authorize use of radioactive material at temporary job sites.
Purpose:
This information notice provides guidance to materials licensees about
notifying Agreement State Radiation Control Directors before working with
NRC-licensed material in an Agreement State. It is expected that recipients
will review this notice for applicability to their NRC licensed programs to
ensure compliance with Agreement State requirements. No written response to
this information notice is required.
Discussion:
Many NRC licensees, particularly radiographers, well-loggers, and portable
gauge users, are authorized to use radioactive material at temporary job
sites. However, this authorization does not permit operations in the 29
Agreement States (except for licensees who are Federal Agencies). Some
Agreement States have reciprocity provisions that permit NRC licensees to
perform work using NRC-licensed radioactive materials in their States. In
some Agreement States, you will need to obtain a license to perform work
using licensed materials. Most Agreement States permit reciprocity for as
long as 180 days per year and some permit reciprocity for as little as 20
days per year. NRC licensees are advised that they should notify the
Agreement State in advance of doing work in that State.
We have attached telephone numbers for all the Agreement States and a map
showing the location of Agreement States.
