PROGRAM CODES USED IN MATERIALS AND FUEL LICENSING AND INSPECTION PROGRAMS A five-digit program code number is assigned by the 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 Parts 30, 40 and 70, respectively, of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations.

A basic understanding of these regulations is a necessary prerequisite to the proper assignment of a program code to a particular activity or use.

NRC uses about 100 program codes to classify the approximately 7500 active licenses.

(See Table 2 for general information on license numbers.)

Some of these program codes narrowly define an activity, such as radiography, while other program codes have a more extensive scope.

More than one code may apply to a given license.

However, the primary code indicates the licensee's principal use of material.

Secondary code or codes may be used to indicate other significant uses.

" BROAD" 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-Tvoe A licenses are issued pursuant to 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 the NRC to make day-to-day decisions about the program.

Broad-Tvoe B licenses are issued pursuant to 10 CFR 33.14 and authorize possession of a variety of radionuclides.

The i

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-Tvoe C licenses are issued pursuant to 10 CFR 33.15 and authorize possession of a variety of radionuclides.

The l

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.

1 i

PROGRAM CODES USED IN MATERIALS AND FUEL LICENSING AND INSPECTION PROGRAMS "OTHER" 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 Part 170.31 and 171.16.

Multiple fee categories may apply for different activities performed under a single license.

Public Law 101.508, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990, requires that the Commission recover 100 percent of its budget authority, less appropriations from the Nuclear Waste Fund, for Fiscal Years 1991 through 1995 by assessing license and annual fees.

In addition to continuing the licensing and inspection fees under 10 CFR Part 170 and annual fees under 10 CFR 171, the new rule established an annual fee for materials licensees and holders of certificates, registrations and approvals.

The annual fees established by this rule are meant to recover the NRC's generic costs and other costs that are not recovered as identifiable services to specific licensees, but that are attributable to a given class of licensee.

The fee categories listed in the following pages are a guide to which categories are most likely to occur.

In order to determine if a fee exemption may apply, one must refer to 10 CFR 170.11 and 171.11.

For multiple categories, they are arranged in order of decreasing likelihood.

The License Fee and Debt Collection Branch, LFDCB, Office of the Controller determines fee categories on a case-by-case basis, using the licensed material and the authorized use description included in the license.

Qusst'lyni regafdirigj"fasiisideFm.ustObsMeferred}to)LFDCBI The fuel cycle facility inspection program is described in NRC Manual Chapter 2600 (MC 2600).

The inspection frequency for the various procedures at these facilities is described in Table 1 of MC 2600.

Inspection priorities for materials licenses are described in detail in NRC Manual Chapter 2800.(MC 2800) and noted at the end of each program code description in this list.

Although inspection program categories are not routinely used, they periodically appear in documents and are denoted here only for historical systems.

2

PROGRAM CODES USED IN MATERIALS AND FUEL LICENSING AND INSPECTION PROGRAMS Inspections are generally conducted as follows:

Initial inspection of licenses in categories with priorities 1 through 5 are conducted within six months after material is received and operations under the license have begun.

Initial inspections of licenses in categories with priorities 6 and 7 are conducted within one year.

Routine, periodic inspections are normally conducted at intervals in years corresponding to the inspection priority for that category:

Priority 1 - yearly, Priority 2 - every two years, Priority 3 - every three years, Priority 4 - every four years and Priority 5 - every five years.

Priority 6 or 7 are inspected initially and thereafter normally only for resolution of problems.

PROGRAM CODES USED IN MATERIALS AND FUEL LICENSING AND INSPECTION PROGRAMS BYPRODUCT MATERIAL PROGRAM CODES Byproduct materials are man-made radioactive materials (except special nuclear material) produced or made radioactive by expo-sure to the radiation incident to the process of producing or utilizing special nuclear materials such as in a nuclear reactor.

Byproduct material does include activation products from nuclear reactors and from plutonium-beryllium neutron sources, but does not include activation products from other neutron sources such as californium-252 or accelerators.

(See 10 CFR 30.4 and 40.4 for a definition of byproduct material.)

Apademic Broad and Academic Other Licenses Academic Broad and Academic Other licenses are issued to educa-tional institutions for the possession and use of radionuclides l

for teaching, training and some research purposes, such as carbon-14 dating, equipment calibration, tracer studies and the identification of substances in compounds.

Apademic Broad-Tvoe A Procram Code 01100 Academic Broad-Type A licenses are issued to larger institutions where there is a diversity in the utilization 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 program code 02110 (Medical Institution Broad), with this program code as a secondary code.

Procram Code 21210 Uranium Fuel Fabrication Plants licenses are issued for the possession and use of special nuclear material for the purpose of fabricating uranium fuel elements.

In most uranium facilities where light water reactor fuels are processed, low-enriched uranium hexafluoride is converted to uranium dioxide pellets and inserted into zirconium tubes.

The tubes are fabricated into fuel assemblies which are shipped to commercial nuclear power plants.

In other facilities, high-enriched uranium is processed into naval reactor fuel and fabricated into naval reactor cores or core components.

Licenses are for possession and use of five kilograms or more of uranium-235 that has been enriched to less than twenty percent.
