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.
