NMSS/MSST PROGRAM CODE DESCRIPTIONS June 2018
Program Codes Used in Materials and Fuel Licensing and Inspection Programs A five-digit program code number is assigned by NRC to each license to designate the major activity or principal use authorized in the license. Table 1 contains a listing of the program codes used in this document. The regulations applicable to the various activities and uses of byproduct, source, and special nuclear materials are contained in 10 CFR Parts 30, 40, and 70.
A basic understanding of these regulations is a necessary prerequisite to the proper assignment of a program code to a specific activity or use. The NRC uses approximately 200 program codes to classify the thousands of active licenses. (See Table 2 for general information on license numbers.) Some of these program codes used for defining authorized uses narrowly define an activity, such as radiography, while other program codes are more extensive in scope.
More than one code may apply to a given license; however, the primary code denotes the licensees principal use of material or the licensed activity with the highest inspection frequency.
One or more secondary codes may be used to indicate other significant uses. The most current program codes are available in the Materials Licensees Toolkits Index, at https://www.nrc.gov/materials/miau/mat-toolkits.html.
BROAD SCOPE licenses are issued to large facilities having a more comprehensive radiological protection program. These licenses authorize possession of a wide variety of radioactive materials without having each radionuclide and authorization listed on the license.
There are three types of broad licenses: Type A, Type B, and Type C. It should be noted that broad licensees can be authorized to use up to 100,000 curies in sealed sources for irradiation of materials (see 10 CFR 33.17). Most broad licenses are Type A. (For a clear understanding of these three types, see 10 CFR Part 33.)
Broad-Type A licenses are issued under 10 CFR 33.13 and typically authorize possession of any byproduct material with an atomic number between 1 and 83, in any chemical or physical form. The maximum possession limit is usually specified both for the individual radionuclide and for the total activity of all radionuclides. These licensees must have a Radiological Safety Officer and a committee that acts in the place of NRC to make day-to-day decisions about the program.
Broad-Type B licenses are issued under 10 CFR 33.14 and authorize possession of a variety of radionuclides. The maximum possession limit is specified in 10 CFR 33.100, Schedule A, Column I. Broad-Type B licensees must have a Radiological Safety Officer and adequate administrative controls.
Broad-Type C licenses are issued under 10 CFR 33.15 and authorize possession of a variety of radionuclides. The maximum possession limit is specified in 10 CFR 33.100, Schedule A, Column II. Broad-Type C licensees must have training and experience as specified in the regulations, and the licensee must have adequate administrative controls.
MULTI-SITE license authorizes an organization to use licensed materials for the specific authorized uses in Item 9. At the licensees locations and/or facilities throughout NRCs jurisdiction.
OTHER (LIMITED SCOPE) licenses are usually issued to smaller organizations requiring a more restrictive license. These licenses are usually more specific in identifying each radionuclide, the chemical and physical form, and the authorized activities and users.

Materials licensing and inspection fee categories are described in 10 CFR 170 and 171.
Multiple fee categories may apply for different activities performed under a single license. The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990, as amended, requires that the NRC recover 100 percent of its budget authority, less appropriations from the Nuclear Waste Fund, by assessing license and annual fees. The fee categories listed in the following pages are a guide to which are most likely to occur for the program code. To determine if a fee exemption may apply, one must refer to 10 CFR 170.11 and 171.11. The Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) determines fee categories and fee exemption requests on a case-by-case basis, using the licensed material and the authorized use description included in the license. Questions regarding fee issues must be referred to the OCFO.
The fuel cycle facility inspection program is described in NRC Inspection Manual, Chapter 2600 (IMC 2600). The inspection frequency for the various procedures at these facilities is described in Table 1 of IMC 2600.
Inspection frequencies, also known as priorities for materials licenses are described in detail in NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 2800 (IMC 2800) and noted at the end of each program code description on this list.
Inspections are generally conducted as follows:
Initial inspections of all licenses shall be completed within 12 months of issuance of the license, as instructed in IMC 2800, Section 05.03. The instructions address the WBL entries that are necessary to complete this action. New licenses that are exempted from an initial inspection are also addressed.
Routine periodic inspections are normally conducted at intervals in years corresponding to the inspection priority for that category:
Priority 1 yearly, Priority 2 every 2 years, Priority 3 every 3 years, Priority 4 every 4 years, Priority 5 every 5 years, Priority 1/0 Multiple inspections are conducted in a year. The inspection frequency for the various procedures at these facilities is described in Table 1 of IMC 2600, Priority T telephone contact every 5 years, Priority D decommissioning inspection determined under IMC 2602, and, Priority W construction inspection for walk-in or pool type irradiators under IMC 2815.

BYPRODUCT MATERIAL PROGRAM CODES Academic Broad and Academic Other licenses are issued to educational institutions for the possession and use of radionuclides for teaching, training, and some research purposes, such as carbon-14 dating, equipment calibration, tracer studies, and the identification of substances in compounds. Examples of the program codes are 0100, 01110.
A medical institution is defined in 10 CFR 35.2 to be an organization in which several medical disciplines are practiced. It typically provides 24-hour-per-day medical, surgical, or psychiatric treatment; nursing, food, lodging, etc., to ill or injured patients. Medical Institution Broad and Medical Institution Limited licenses are issued to organizations for the application of byproduct material, or its radiation, to humans. Radioactive material administered to patients is considered to be an in vivo procedure. (Use of radioactive material in test tubes in the laboratory is considered to be an in vitro procedure, and these licensees are in program code 02410.) Licensees authorized to use therapeutic 10 CFR 35.1000 medical uses listed in program code 02240, high dose rates (HDRs), teletherapy, and gamma knives are generally issued program codes 2240, 02230, 02300, and 02310, as applicable, along with the program code for their medical institution license (e.g., 02110 or 02120). Examples of the program codes are 02110, 02120.
Medical Private Practice licenses are issued, pursuant to 10 CFR 35.12, to a physician or physicians for the possession and use of radionuclides in well-established diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, usually in their offices outside a medical institution. Private practice licensees authorized for therapeutic medical uses under 10 CFR 35.1000 listed in program code 02240, HDRs, teletherapy, or gamma knives are issued program codes 02240, 02230, 02300, and 02310, as applicable, along with the program code for their private practice license (e.g., 02200). These codes authorize the possession and use of a wide range of radionuclides in byproduct, source and special nuclear material. Examples of the program codes are 02200, 02201.
Well logging licenses are issued to firms for the possession and use of radionuclides for subsurface surveying to obtain geological information. These testing procedures are primarily used in oil, gas, and mineral exploration to identify subsurface geologic formations. Examples of the program codes are 03110, 03111.
Measuring System licenses are issued for the possession and use of measuring devices such as gauges and gas chromatographs containing radionuclides. Frequently, the equipment is serviced and leak tested by the manufacturer or lessor of the equipment. Examples of the program codes are 03120, 03121.
Specific byproduct radionuclide may be made by a reactor, increasing the production of fission products or producing activation products from other isotopes. With the Energy Policy Act of 2005, byproduct material also includes radionuclides for medical, commercial, and research uses produced by accelerators. NRC regulates both reactor and facilities that meet the 10 CFR 50.2 definition of a production facility under 10 CFR Part 50. These licensees have 10 CFR Part 50 authorizations for byproduct material uses incidental to the reactor license. If the reactor or production facility licensee produces quantities of byproduct material for transfer to other licensees for distribution to 10 CFR Part 30 licensees (which includes 10 CFR Parts 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, and 39 licensees), the licensee will be identified as a byproduct radionuclide producer. NRC does not regulate the accelerator used to produce byproduct material but does regulate the byproduct material produced. Examples of program codes are 03200, 03205.

Manufacturing and Distribution Broad, and Manufacturing and Distribution Other licenses are issued for the manufacture and distribution of products containing byproduct material in various forms for a number of diverse purposes. The products are distributed usually to persons specifically licensed by the NRC or an Agreement State. Licensees include medical suppliers that process, package, and distribute products such as diagnostic test kits, radioactive surgical implants, and tagged radiochemicals for use in medical, academic and industrial research, and for diagnosis and therapy. Licensees are also suppliers who, after purchasing bulk quantities of byproduct material, process, encapsulate, package, and distribute these sealed sources for use in gamma radiography, cobalt irradiation, well logging, etc. Major products include gamma radiography sources, cobalt irradiation sources, well logging sources, sources for gauges and smoke detectors, and radiochemicals for nonmedical research. Firms are also involved with the manufacture, assembly, and distribution of various other products that contain radionuclides. The broad licenses are issued to the larger facilities having more comprehensive radiological protection programs. It is also interesting to note that distribution is authorized under a separate license with, for example, an E or G suffix.
The Energy Policy Act of 2005 amended the definition of byproduct material to include discrete sources of radium-226 made before and after the date of the Energy Policy Act. Therefore, manufacturing and distribution licenses now include the assembly, disassembly, and repair of products containing radium-226, in addition to the manufacture of products containing discrete sources of radium-226. Examples of the program codes are 03210, 03211.
Waste disposal service licenses authorize the collection, transportation, and storage of radioactive wastes containing byproduct, source, and/or special nuclear material. These licenses authorize firms to collect packaged waste material, transport the waste, and temporarily store it before transporting the waste to an authorized burial ground. Some licenses authorize the opening of packages and treatment of the waste to reduce the volume (e.g., compaction).
Examples of the codes are 03231, 03232.
General License Distribution licenses are issued for the distribution of byproduct material, usually sealed sources in devices, to general licensees. Examples of such items are:
(i) gauges, (ii) luminous aircraft safety devices, (iii) calibration and reference sources, (iv) ice detection devices, and (v) in vitro test kits. The requirements for a license for distribution to general licensees are specified in various sections of 10 CFR Part 32. A general licensee does not need to submit a formal application and does not receive a formal license. The conditions of a general license are contained in 10 CFR Part 31. These licenses generally do not authorize possession/use and have a G suffix. Examples of the program codes are 03240, 03241.
Exempt Distribution licenses are issued for the commercial distribution of byproduct material to persons who are exempt from the licensing requirements. These exemptions and their limitations, if any, are contained in 10 CFR Parts 30.14-30.22, and 40.13 inclusive. Examples of exempt items are watches, electron tubes, and smoke detectors. The requirements for a license to distribute byproduct material to persons exempt from licensing are contained in 10 CFR Part 32 and Part 40. These licenses generally do not authorize possession and have an E suffix. Examples of the program codes are 03250, 03251.
Industrial Radiography licenses are issued for the possession and use of sealed radioactive materials, usually in exposure devices or cameras, that emit gamma rays for nondestructive examination of pipelines, weld joints, steel structures, boilers, aircraft, ship parts, and other high-stress alloy parts. The radioisotopes most commonly used are cobalt-60 and iridium-192.
17
Radiography can be conducted either in a permanent facility or at a temporary jobsite.
Examples of the program codes are 03310, 03320.
Irradiator licenses are issued for the possession and use of high-activity sealed sources of radioactive material in an irradiator constructed so that the sealed sources and the material being irradiated are contained in a shielded volume. Primary uses include nonhuman medical and nonmedical research conducted chiefly by universities, and industrial uses, such as the sterilization of medical products and drugs, and treating of hardwoods, plastics, and semiconductor materials. The radioisotopes most commonly used in these irradiators are cobalt-60 and cesium-137. Self-shielded units are designed so that the operator cannot inadvertently place any part of his/her body in the path of the beam. Units other than self-shielded units may rely on facility alarms and interlocks to prevent accidental exposure to radiation. Irradiators Other include units where the source is stored and/or used under water.
Examples of the program codes are 03510, 03511.
Research and Development licenses are issued to private organizations, universities, and government agencies for the possession and use of radionuclides in research. Typical uses include irradiation of materials, tracers and catalysts in chemical reactions, measurement using industrial gauges, and the identification of substances in compounds. In private industry, uses are primarily in product development. In academic institutions, research and development includes training of students in the use of radioactive materials. Broad licenses are issued to larger facilities having a more comprehensive radiation protection program where the types of research being conducted may fluctuate rapidly. Typical activities include environmental analysis, food quality studies, aerospace and engineering applications, and product development. Examples of the program codes are 03610, 03611.
Source materials are materials essential to the production of special nuclear materials. Source material includes (i) uranium (and depleted uranium produced as enrichment tails) or thorium, or any combination thereof, in any physical or chemical form; or (ii) ores that contain by weight 0.05% or more of uranium, thorium, or any combination thereof. (See 10 CFR 40.4 for a definition of source material.)
Source Material licenses are issued for the possession and use of refined uranium and/or thorium for fabrication, research, and manufacture of consumer products such as ceramics and glassware; manufacture of refractories; uranium shielding; analytical standards; and other uses not specifically classified. A smaller number of these licenses are issued to allow the possession of uranium and/or thorium for other uses such as distribution and storage. An even smaller number of these licenses are issued to allow the use of uranium in subcritical assemblies. Priority sections denoted as 1/0 indicate that inspections are performed at least annually. Examples of the program codes are 11100, 11200.
Special nuclear materials include plutonium, uranium-233, uranium enriched in the isotopes of uranium-233 or uranium-235, and any material artificially enriched in any of these materials.
(See 10 CFR 40.4 and 70.4 for a definition of special nuclear material.) Priority sections denoted as 1/0 indicate that inspections are performed at least annually. Examples of the program codes are 21130, 21133.
Pacemaker-Byproduct Material and/or Special Nuclear Material licenses are issued to:
(1) medical facilities for the surgical implantation of pacemakers that are powered by a device containing byproduct or special nuclear material; (2) manufacturers and distributors for the distribution of these pacemakers; and (3) individuals, most often Canadian citizens on holiday, 18
with implanted nuclear pacemakers, who are visiting the United States. Examples of the program codes are 22160, 22161.
The primary and secondary program codes should be selected such that if the primary program code best describes the licensing activities but the licensee has other activity with a higher inspection priority, then the program code with the highest inspection priority will be the secondary code.
Academic Broad - Type A Program Code 01100 Academic Broad - Type A 6-20 Locations Program Code 04618 Academic Broad - Type A More Than 20 Locations Program Code 04619 Academic Broad-Type A licenses are issued to larger institutions where there is a diversity in the use of various radionuclides. The kinds and uses of radionuclides may change frequently, even within the same institution. Quantities are usually in the multicurie range. The Authorized Use condition on these licenses may permit teaching and training of students; research and development (as defined in 10 CFR 30.4); or laboratory research, including animal studies. If the Authorized Use includes medical research, diagnosis, and/or therapy, the license should be listed under an appropriate Part 35 medical use program code and may also authorize laboratory research with an appropriate academic or research program code as a secondary code. (NUREG-1556, Volume 9 or 11 for further explanation.)
