and thorium in dispersible forms (e.g., gaseous, liquid, powder, etc.) at any
one time. Any material processed by the general licensee that alters the
chemical or physical form of the material containing source material shall be
accounted for as a dispersible form. A person authorized to possess, use, and
transfer source material under this paragraph may not receive more than a total
of 7 kg (15.4 lbs) of uranium and thorium in any one calendar year.
b. No more than a total of 7 kg (15.4 lbs) of
uranium and thorium at any one time. A person authorized to possess, use, and
transfer source material under this paragraph may not receive more than a total
of 70 kg (154 lbs) of uranium and thorium in any one calendar year. A person
may not alter the chemical or physical form of the source material possessed
under this subsection unless it is accounted for under the limits of subd. 1.
a.
c. No more than 7 kg (15.4 lbs)
of uranium, removed during the treatment of drinking water, at any one time. A
person may not remove more than 70 kg (154 lbs) of uranium from drinking water
