title: License terms for medical use licenses--NRC. Final rule.
abstract: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is amending its regulations pertaining to the medical use of byproduct material to eliminate the 5-year term limit for medical use licenses. License terms for licenses issued under these regulations will be set by policy. Other materials licenses are issued for up to 10 years. The NRC will issue some licenses for shorter terms if warranted by the individual circumstances of license applicants. The amendment reduces the administrative burden of license renewals on a 5-year cycle for both NRC and licensees and supports NRC's goal of streamlining the licensing process.
