Section 337.50  Specific Exemptions

A licensee that possesses radioactive waste that contains

category 1 or category 2 quantities of radioactive material is exempt from the

requirements of Subparts B, C and D; except that any radioactive waste that

contains discrete sources, ion-exchange resins or activated material that

weighs less than 2,000 kg (4,409 lbs) is not exempt from the requirements.  The

licensee shall implement the following requirements to secure the radioactive

waste:

a)         Use

continuous physical barriers that allow access to the radioactive waste only

through established access control points;

b)         Use a

locked door or gate with monitored alarm at the access control point;

c)         Assess

and respond to each actual or attempted unauthorized access to determine whether

an actual or attempted theft, sabotage or diversion occurred; and

d)         Immediately

notify the LLEA and request an armed response from the LLEA upon determination

that there was an actual or attempted theft, sabotage or diversion of the

radioactive waste that contains category 1 or category 2 quantities of

radioactive material.  Immediately after initiating a response, but not at the

expense of causing delay or interfering with the LLEA response to the event,

the licensee shall notify IEMA at (217)782-7860 or (800)782-7860.  In no case

shall the notification to IEMA be made later than one hour after the discovery

of any attempted or actual theft, sabotage or diversion.
