MANDATORY ADVANCED NOTIFICATIONS PER 10 CFR PART 110.50(c)
The following Advanced Notifications must be made to both the NRC and, in case of exports, the government of the importing country in advance of each shipment:
Mandatory Advanced Notifications to the NRC are to be emailed to hoo.hoc@nrc.gov (preferred method) or faxed to the NRC at 301-816-5151. In the subject line of the email or on the fax cover page include: "10 CFR 110.50(c)
Notification." For technical assistance, use the same e-mail address or call 301-287-9056.
Mandatory Advanced Notifications to the government of the importing country must be emailed or faxed to the appropriate foreign government authorities. To locate the point-of-contact for international Advanced Notifications see: http://www-ns.iaea.org/downloads/rw/imp-export/import-export-contact-points.pdf. In the subject line of the email or on the fax cover page include: "NOTIFICATION TO THE IMPORTING STATE PRIOR TO SHIPMENT OF CATEGORY 1 OR 2 RADIOACTIVE SOURCES. For technical assistance or for countries not listed, contact the Office of International Programs export/import staff at 301-287-9056.

The sum of fractions methodology for evaluating combinations of radionuclides being transported is to be used when import or export shipments contain multiple sources or multiple radionuclides. The threshold limit values used in a sum of the fractions calculation must be the metric values (i.e., TBq).
I.
If multiple sources and/or multiple radionuclides are present in an import or export shipment, the sum of the fractions of the activity of each radionuclide must be determined to verify the shipment is less than the Category 1 or 2 limits of Table 1, as appropriate. If the calculated sum of the fractions ratio, using the following equation, is greater than or equal to 1.0, then the import or export shipment exceeds the threshold limits of Table 1 and the applicable security provisions of this part apply.
II. Use the equation below to calculate the sum of the fractions ratio by inserting the actual activity of the applicable radionuclides or of the individual sources (of the same radionuclides) in the numerator of the equation and the corresponding threshold activity limit from the Table 1 in the denominator of the equation. Ensure the numerator and denominator values are in the same units and all calculations must be performed using the TBq (i.e., metric) values of Table 1.
R1 = activity for radionuclides or source number 1 AR1 = activity limit for radionuclides or source number 1 R2 = activity for radionuclides or source number 2 AR2 = activity limit for radionuclides or source number 2 RN = activity for radionuclides or source number n ARN = activity limit for radionuclides or source number n R 1 R 2 R n 1 1 AR 1 A R 2 AR n
1 The values to be used to determine whether a license is required are given in TBq. Curie (Ci) values are provided for practical usefulness only and are rounded after conversion.
