RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS SECTION
William Csaszar, Supervisor

INTRODUCTION

Naturally occurring and accelerator produced radioactive material (NARM) is regulated by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).   The DEP derives its authority from the Radiation Protection Act (New Jersey Statutes Annotated Title 26:2 D), and its regulations are contained in the Radiation Protection Code (New Jersey Administrative Code Title 7 Chapter 28).  Depending on the radionuclide, quantity, and the form, a license is required in order to manufacture, produce, transfer, receive, acquire, own, possess, store, or use NARM.  New Jersey is not an Agreement State (any state with which the Atomic Energy Commission or the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has entered into an effective agreement under subsection 274b of the Act. Non-agreement State means any other State), therefore source, special nuclear or byproduct radioactive materials (SSNBRM) are regulated by the NRC. However, all SSNBRM for which a specific NRC license is issued must be registered with the DEP within 30 days after taking possession of the radioactive materials.
