(a) A general license is hereby issued to commercial and industrial firms and research, educational and medical institutions, individuals in the conduct of their business and State or local government agencies to own, acquire, receive, possess, use or transfer, in accordance with the provisions of subparagraphs (b), (c) and (d) of this paragraph, radioactive material contained in devices designed and manufactured for the purpose of detecting, measuring, gauging or controlling thickness, density, level, interface location, radiation, leakage, or qualitative or quantitative chemical composition, or for producing light or an ionized atmosphere.
(b)
1. The general license in subparagraph (a) of this paragraph applies only to radioactive material contained in devices that have been manufactured or initially transferred and labeled in accordance with the specifications contained in:
(i) A specific license issued by the Division pursuant to paragraph (5) of Rule 0400-20-10-.13, or
(ii) A specific license issued by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission pursuant to 10 CFR 32.51 or an Agreement State with provisions comparable to paragraph (5) of Rule 0400-20-10-.13.
2. The devices shall have been received from one of the licensees in part 1 of this subparagraph or through a transfer made under part (c)9 of this paragraph.
(c) Persons who own, acquire, receive, possess, use or transfer radioactive material in a device pursuant to the general license contained in subparagraph (a) of this paragraph:
1. Shall assure that all labels affixed to the device at the time of receipt and bearing the statement that removal of the label is prohibited are maintained thereon and shall comply with all instructions and precautions provided by such labels;

6 Different general licenses are issued in this rule, each of which has its own specific conditions and requirements.

7 Persons possessing radioactive material in devices under the general license in this paragraph before October 2, 1978, may continue to possess, use or transfer that material in accordance with the requirements in the 1972 edition of the regulations.

2. Shall assure that the device is tested for leakage of radioactive material and proper operation of the on-off mechanism and indicator, if any, at no longer than 6 month intervals or at such other intervals as are specified in the label; however,
(i) Devices containing only krypton need not be tested for leakage of radioactive material; and
(ii) Devices containing only tritium or not more than 100 microcuries of other beta and/or gamma emitting material or 10 microcuries of alpha emitting material and devices held in storage in the original shipping container prior to initial installation need not be tested for any purpose.
3. Shall assure that the tests required by part 2 of this subparagraph and other testing, installation, servicing and removal from installation involving the radioactive material, its shielding or containment, are performed:
(i) In accordance with the instructions provided by the labels, or
(ii) By a person holding an applicable specific license issued by the Division, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, an Agreement State or a Licensing State to perform such activities.
4. Shall maintain records showing compliance with the requirements of parts 2 and 3 of this subparagraph. The records shall show the results of tests. The records also shall show the dates of performance of and the names of persons performing testing, installation, servicing and removal from installation of the radioactive material, its shielding or containment. The licensee shall retain these records as follows:
(i) Each record of a test for leakage or radioactive material required by part 2 of this subparagraph shall be retained for 3 years after the next required leak test is performed or until the sealed source is transferred or disposed of;
(ii) Each record of a test of the on-off mechanism and indicator required by part 2 of this subparagraph shall be retained for 3 years after the next required test of the on-off mechanism and indicator is performed or until the sealed source is transferred or disposed of; and
(iii) Each record that is required by part 3 of this subparagraph shall be retained for 3 years from the date of the recorded event or until the sealed source is transferred or disposed of.
5. Shall immediately suspend operation of the device if there is a failure of or damage to, or any indication of a possible failure of or damage to, the shielding of the radioactive material or the on-off mechanism or indicator, or upon the detection of 0.005 microcurie (185 becquerel) or more removable radioactive material. The device may not be operated until it has been repaired by the manufacturer or other person holding an applicable specific license issued by the Division, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, an Agreement State or a Licensing State to repair such devices. The device and any radioactive material from the device may only be disposed of by transfer to a person holding an applicable specific license to receive the radioactive material contained in the device or as otherwise approved by the Division. The licensee shall within 30 days furnish to the Division at the address in Rule 0400-20-04-.07 a report containing a brief description of the event and the remedial action taken. In the case of detection of 0.005 microcurie or more removable radioactive material or failure of or damage to a source likely to result in contamination of the premises or the environs, the licensee shall within 30 days submit to the Division at the address in Rule 0400-20-04-.07 a plan for ensuring that the premises and environs are acceptable for unrestricted use. Under these circumstances, the criteria set out in paragraph (2) of Rule 0400-20-10-.36, "Radiological criteria for unrestricted use," may be applicable, as determined by the Division on a case-by-case basis;
6. Shall not abandon the device containing radioactive material;
7. Shall not export the device containing radioactive material except in accordance with 10 CFR 110;
8. Shall:
(i) Transfer or dispose of the device containing radioactive material only by export as provided by part 7 of this subparagraph, by transfer to another general licensee as authorized in part 9 of this subparagraph, or to a person authorized to receive the device by a specific license issued by the Division under this Chapter or an equivalent license issued by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission or an Agreement State, or as otherwise approved under subpart (iii) of this part.

The testing required by part 2 of this subparagraph need not be performed during the period of storage only. However, when devices are put back into service or transferred to another person and have not been tested within the required test interval, they shall be tested for leakage before use or transfer and the shutter tested before use. Devices kept in standby for future use are excluded from the 2-year time limit if the general licensee performs quarterly physical inventories of these devices while they are in storage.
