Academic Uses of Nuclear Materials
Universities, colleges, high schools, and other academic institutions use
nuclear material in classroom demonstrations, laboratory experiments research,
and to provide health physics support to other institutional nuclear materials
users. These programs may vary in size from large, broad-scope programs involving
chemical, physical, biological engineering, and biomedical research, to small
programs using only gas chromatographs or self-shielded irradiators. These
facilities are licensed in accordance with 10 CFR 30, 40, or 70 depending on the type
of materials posessed.
