Title: Radiation Sources on Army Land
Abstract: The Department of the Army proposes to amend its regulation to title 32 Code of Federal Regulation section 655.10. The Army requires non-Army agencies (including civilian contractors) to obtain an Army Radiation Permit (ARP) from the installation commander to use, store, or possess ionizing radiation sources on an Army Installation. For the purpose of this paragraph, "ionizing radiation source" means any source that, if held or owned by an Army organization, would require a specific Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) license or Army Radiation Authorization (ARA). The purpose of the ARP is to protect the public, civilian employees, and military personnel on an installation from potential exposure to radioactive sources. The U.S. Army Safety Office, who is the proponent for the Army Radiation Safety Program, is revising the regulation to reflect the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's changes to licensing of Naturally Occurring or Accelerator Produced Material (NARM).
