Gentlemen:
SUBJECT:
DISTRIBUTION OF PRODUCTS IRRADIATED IN RESEARCH REACTORS (GENERIC LETTER 86-11 )
We have recently received several inquiries regarding products which are irradiated in research reactors and subsequently distributed to unlicensed persons. The inquiries were related to irradiations of gems and silicon chips, but other products may also be involved.
We are concerned that research reactor licensees may be irradiating and redistributing products containing induced radioactivity to unlicensed receivers who utilize or redistribute these irradiated products. Information provided to NRC in specific cases indicates that gems, silicon chips, and many other materials usually acquire relatively long-lived induced radio-
. activity when irradiated in a reactor. Although irradiation of products in a reactor is not of itself prohibited,10 CFR Section 30.14 prohibits introduction of byproduct material into a product for distribution to an unlicensed person, unless the distributor har a specific license issued pursuant to 10 CFR Section 32.11 which pemits such distribution.
The purpose of this Generic Letter is to correct any misunderstanding concerning the distribution of irradiated products to unlicensed persons.
In accordance with 10 CFR 30.14, the distribution of irradiated materials, even with low levels of induced radioactivity, to unlicensed persons is aterials is licensed by the NPC prohibited unless the to to do so. Furthemore, distributor measure of such these 10m,9 levels of induced radioactivity very sensitive low background instruments are required, such as shielded sodium iodide or gemanium-lithium detection systems.
In addition, we ciG1 your attention to subsecti~on 3 of the enclosed NRC Polic 16, 1965 (30 FR 3462)y Statement regarding in the Federal products which are Register notice of toys, novelties orMarch adornments. The staff considers gems to be adornments and has not granted licenses for distribution of irradiated gems or similar materials.
You are responsible for assuring that the distributors of any products you have irradiated in your reactor, and which have acquired induced radioactivity, are licensed to distribute these products in accordance with 10 CFR 30.14(c) and 30.31. If you directly distribute the irradiated products to unlicensed persons, you must obtain a new license to reflect this activity.

RADI0 ACTIVE ADORNMENTS
. 1. 1965 AEC Policy Statement (Federal Register, March 16,1965)
...the degree of usefulness and benefit that accrues to the public may be a deciding factor. In particular, the Commission considers that the use of radioactive material in toys, novelties, and adornments may b'e of marginal benefit.
- 2. 10 CFR 30.22(c), Lumir.ous Products: Toys, adornments, and frivolous use prohibited. *
- 3. Uranium in Jewelry.
Uranium in cuff links prohibited (34 FR 6870, April 24, 1969).
Uranium in cloisonne jewelry.
Although the use of cloisonne jewelry containing uranium does not constitute an immediate or.s.ignificant health
. hazard, the NRC believe the use of the jewelry could constitute an unnecessary exposure tp, radiation. Further, the NRC and AEC (1965) policy... considers that the use of radioactive material in toys, novelties, and adornments may be of marginal benefit. (48 FR 33697, July 25, 1983)
...the FRC guidelines approved by the President and the NRC's policy of making every reasonable effort' to prevent unnecessary radiation exposures would provide sufficient justification to adopt the proposed rule (banning uranium in jewelry) even though the risk'is small.
