(b)Applicability.This section applies to any person authorized to use radioactive material under a valid specific license issued by the NRC or another Agreement State who will conduct activities authorized in such licensing in the state of Connecticut.
(c)Licenses of Byproduct, Source, and Special Nuclear Material in Quantities Not Sufficient to Form a Critical Mass.(1) Any person who holds a specific license from the NRC or another Agreement State that was issued by an agency having jurisdiction where the licensee maintains an office for directing the licensed activity and at which radiation safety records are normally maintained, is hereby granted a general license to conduct the activities authorized in such licensing document within the state for a period not in excess of one hundred eighty (180) days in any calendar year provided that: (A) The license does not limit the activity authorized by such document to specified installations or locations;(B) The out-of-state licensee notifies the commissioner in writing at least three (3) days prior to engaging in such activity. Such notification shall indicate the location, period, and type of proposed possession and use within the state and shall be accompanied by a copy of the pertinent license. If, for a specific case, the three (3) day period would impose an undue hardship on the out-of-state licensee, the licensee may, upon application to the department, obtain permission to proceed sooner. The commissioner may waive the requirement for filing additional written notifications during the remainder of the calendar year following the receipt of the initial notification from a person engaging in activities under the general license provided in this subsection;(C) The out-of-state licensee complies with all applicable regulations of the department and with all the terms and conditions of the license;(D) The out-of-state licensee supplies such other information as the commissioner may request; and(E) The out-of-state licensee shall not transfer or dispose of radioactive material possessed or used under the general license provided in this subdivision except by transfer to a person: (i) Specifically licensed by the commissioner or by the NRC or another Agreement State to receive such material, or(ii) Exempt from the requirements for a license for such material under 10 CFR 30.14.(2) Notwithstanding subdivision (1) of this subsection, any person who holds a specific license issued by the NRC or an Agreement State authorizing the holder to manufacture, transfer, install, or service a device described in 10 CFR 40.22, 10 CFR 31.5(a), 10 CFR 31.6, and 10 CFR 31.9 within areas subject to the jurisdiction of the licensing body is hereby granted a general license to install, transfer, demonstrate, or service such a device in the state of Connecticut provided that: (A) Such person shall file a report with the commissioner within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar quarter in which any device is transferred to or installed in the state of Connecticut. Each such report shall identify each general licensee to whom such device is transferred by name and address, the type of device transferred, and the quantity and type of radioactive material contained in the device;(B) The device has been manufactured, labeled, installed, and serviced in accordance with applicable provisions of the specific license issued to such person by the NRC or an Agreement State;(C) Such person shall ensure that any labels required to be affixed to the device under regulations of the authority which licensed manufacture of the device bear a statement that "Removal of this label is prohibited"; and(D) The holder of the specific license shall furnish to each general licensee to whom the licensee transfers such device or on whose premises the licensee installs such device a copy of the general license contained in 10 CFR 31.5 or in equivalent regulations of the agency having jurisdiction over the manufacture and distribution of the device.(3) The commissioner may withdraw, limit, or qualify the commissioner's acceptance of any specific license or equivalent licensing document issued by the NRC or an Agreement State, or any product distributed pursuant to such licensing document, upon determining that such action is necessary in order to prevent undue hazard to public health and safety or property.Conn.
