Universal Citation: SC Code Regs 61-63.II.RHA 2.27

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 9, September 27, 2024

2.27.1 An application for a specific license to manufacture industrial products and devices containing depleted uranium for use pursuant to RHA 2.3.4 or equivalent regulations of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission or an Agreement State will be approved if:

2.27.1.1 The applicant satisfies the requirements specified in RHA 2.6.

2.27.1.2 The applicant submits sufficient information relating to the design, manufacture, prototype testing, quality control procedures, labeling and marking, proposed uses, and potential hazards of the industrial product or service to provide reasonable assurance that possession, use, and transfer of the depleted uranium in the product or device is not likely to cause any individual to receive in any period of one calendar quarter a radiation dose in excess of 10 percent of the limits specified in the table in RHA 3.2.1.

2.27.1.3 The applicant submits sufficient information regarding the industrial product or device and the presence of depleted uranium for a mass-volume application in the product or device to provide reasonable assurance that unique benefits will accrue to the public because of the usefulness of the product or device.

2.27.2 In the case of an industrial product or device whose unique benefits are questionable, the Department will approve an application for a specific license under RHA 2.27 only if the product or device is found to combine a high degree of utility and low probability of uncontrolled disposal and dispersal of significant quantities of depleted uranium into the environment.

2.27.3 The Department may deny any application for a specific license under RHA 2.27 if the end use of the industrial product or device cannot be reasonably foreseen.

2.27.4 Each person licensed pursuant to RHA 2.27.1 shall:

2.27.4.1 Maintain the level of quality control required by the license in the manufacture of the industrial product or device, and in the installation of the depleted uranium into the product or device;

2.27.4.2 Label or mark each unit to: (a) identify the manufacturer of the product or device and the number of the license under which the product or device was manufactured, the fact that the product or device contains depleted uranium, and the quantity of depleted uranium in each product or device; and (b) state the receipt, possession, use, and transfer of the product or device are subject to a general license or the equivalent and the regulations of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission or of an Agreement State;

2.27.4.3 Assure that the depleted uranium before being installed in each product or device has been impressed with the following legend clearly legible through any plating or other covering: "DEPLETED URANIUM";

2.27.4.4 (a) Furnish a copy of the general license contained in RHA 2.3.4 and a copy of Department Form RHA-100-2 to each person to whom he transfers depleted uranium in a product or device for use pursuant to the general license contained in RHA 2.3.4; or (b) furnish a copy of the general license contained in the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's or Agreement State's regulation equivalent to RHA 2.3.4 and a copy of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's or Agreement State's certificate, or alternatively, furnish a copy of the general license contained in RHA 2.3.4 and a copy of Department Form RHA-100-2 to each person to whom he transfers depleted uranium in a product or device for use pursuant to the general license of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission or an Agreement State, with a note explaining the use of the product or device is regulated by the U.S. Regulatory Commission or an Agreement State under requirements substantially the same as those in RHA 2.3.4.

2.27.4.5 Report to the Department all transfers of industrial products or devices to persons for use under the general license in RHA 2.3.4. Such reports shall identify each general licensee by name and address, an individual by name and/or position who may constitute a point of contact between the Department and the general licensee, the type and model number of device transferred, and the quantity of depleted uranium contained in the product or device. The report shall be submitted within 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter in which such a product or device is transferred to the generally licensed person. If no transfers have been made to persons generally licensed under RHA 2.3.4 during the reporting period, the report shall so indicate;

2.27.4.6 Report to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission all transfers of industrial products or devices to persons for use under the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission general license in Section40.25 of 10 CFR Part 40. Report to the responsible agreement state agency all transfers of devices manufactured and distributed pursuant to RHA 2.27 for use under a general license in that state's regulations equivalent to RHA 2.3.4. Such reports shall identify each general licensee by name and address, an individual by name and/or position who may constitute a point of contact between the Department and the general licensee, and the quantity of depleted uranium contained in the product or device. The report shall be submitted within 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter in which such product or device is transferred to the generally licensed person. If no transfers have been made to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission licensee during the reporting period, this information shall be reported to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. If no transfers have been made to the general licensees within a particular agreement state during the reporting period, this information shall be reported to the responsible agreement state agency.

2.27.4.7 Keep records showing the name, address, and point of contact for each general licensee to whom he transfers depleted uranium in industrial products or devices for use pursuant to the general licenses provided in RHA 2.3.4 or equivalent regulations of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission or of an Agreement State. The records shall show the date of each transfer, the quantity of depleted uranium in each product or device transferred, and compliance with the report requirements of this section.
