Transfer
The gauge should not be transferred to another party for
service, disposal, sale, or use unless the other party is authorized
to receive the appropriate radioactive material. Always
remember that the “transferor” (the licensee) has the
responsibility to obtain a copy of the “transferee’s” license or
obtain an official attestation that they are able to receive that
particular type, form, and quantity of radioactive materials.
The best way to establish authorization is to have a copy of the
other parties’ radioactive material license. Look at paragraphs
6, 7, 8, and 9, for type, form, amount, and use, and verify that
the license has not expired. The regulations provide that if the
user applies for renewal within 30 days of the renewal date, the
license is considered in “Timely Renewal” until the regulatory
agency issues a new license. If this is the case, along with the
copy of the license get a copy of the Timely Renewal Letter
from the regulatory agency or a statement from the other
party.
Temporary Storage
Use of the gauge will involve removing it from its storage
location described in the license and bringing it to job sites and
other locations to test materials. The end user is responsible to
verify requirements with the appropriate US NRC or Agreement
State regulatory agency prior to establishing a Temporary
Storage location. Normally the gauge will be returned to its
permanent storage location listed on the license each evening.
Sometimes it will be stored in temporary locations, for example,
in a trailer on a job site. This storage location should follow the
same rules for security, posting, safety, and charging as the
permanent location. If the gauge will be in the temporary
location for longer than 30 days, the regulatory agency should
be notified by letter/FAX. If it will be longer than 180 days the
