(3) Pursuant to the Act and 10 CFR Part 30, "Rules of General Applicability to Domestic Licensing of Byproduct Material," to receive, acquire, possess, use and transfer byproduct material without restriction to chemical or physical form for sample analysis, instrument calibration, or associated with radioactive apparatus, hardware, tools, and equipment, provided the cumulative radioactive material quantity of the byproduct material does not exceed the criteria contained in Section 30.72, Schedule C, Quantities of Radioactive Materials Requiring Consideration of the Need for an Emergency Plan for Responding to a Release.
(4) Pursuant to the Act and 10 CFR Part 70, "Domestic Licensing of Special Nuclear Material" to receive, acquire, possess, use and transfer, but not separate, special nuclear material in a quantity not to exceed 15 grams of U-235, U-233, or plutonium, or any combination thereof and not to exceed plutonium activity of 2 curies. If special nuclear material in quantities exceeding 15 grams or more than 2 curies of plutonium are identified in plant contamination in the future, this license permits possession and transfer of special nuclear material and the additional applicable requirements of 10 CFR Part 70, Part 73, and Part 74 will apply for the amount possessed.
C. This license shall be deemed to contain and is subject to the conditions specified in Part 20, Section 50.59 of Part 50, Section 30.34 of Part 30 of 10 CFR Chapter 1; and is subject to all applicable provisions of the Act, and to the rules, regulations, and orders of the Commission now or hereafter in effect, and is subject to the additional condition specified below:
