Regulations
The NRC's regulations are found in Chapter I of Title 10, "Energy," of the
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).
Chapter I is divided into Parts 1 through 199. The following parts contain
the requirements most relevant to radiography licensing and possession.
- Part 30 – "Rules
of General Applicability to Domestic Licensing of Byproduct Material"
- Part 34 – Licenses
for Industrial Radiography and radiation safety requirements for industrial
radiographic operations
See also the Medical, Industrial,
Academic Uses of Nuclear Materials Regulations, Guidance, and Communications
page.
Guidance
Consolidated materials guidance is published in "Consolidated Guidance About
Materials Licenses" (NUREG-1556).
- Volume
2, Program-Specific Guidance About Industrial Radiography Licenses
- Volume
19, Guidance for Agreement State Licensees About NRC Form 241 "Report
of Proposed Activities in Non-Agreement States, Areas of Exclusive Federal
Jurisdiction, or Offshore Waters" and Guidance for NRC Licensees Proposing
To Work in Agreement State Jurisdiction (Reciprocity)
Regulatory guides are issued in 10 divisions and are intended to
aid licensees in implementing regulations. For a specific list of the most
applicable guides in Division
8, Occupational Health, see the Medical,
Industrial, and Academic Uses of Nuclear Materials Regulations, Guidance,
and Communications page.
Web (HTML) versions of some regulatory guides are available for viewing
or downloading at this site. In the index for each division of guides, the
number of each guide available at this site is underscored. All active final
and draft guides are also available in NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management
System (ADAMS).
Inspection Procedures
NRC’s regional offices (Region
I - Northeast, Region II
- Southeast, Region III -
Midwest, and Region IV -
West/Southwest) conduct typically unannounced, periodic inspection of licensed
activities using guidance from Inspection
Manual, Chapter 2800. The frequency of inspection is based on the hazard
of materials used. The following Inspection Procedures (IPs) address inspections
directly related to industrial radiography.
- IP 87121

Industrial, Academic Uses of Nuclear Materials Inspection page.
License Types
NRC assigns a five-digit code to each license to designate the major activity
or principal use authorized in the license. NRC uses approximately 100 program
codes to classify the thousands of active licenses. To learn more about this
license category and the associated fee and inspection categories, see "Consolidated
Guidance About Materials Licenses: Guidance About Administrative Licensing
Procedures" (NUREG-1556,
Vol. 20, Appendix
G: LTS Program Code Descriptions). Use this information to find the fee
you will pay in the schedules in 10
CFR Part 170 and 10
CFR Part 171.

Fees
Industrial radiography license applicants are required to pay a fee to the
NRC upon application for a new license and are required to pay an annual license
fee to the NRC thereafter. These fees are explained in our Materials Fee
Billing Handbook. Refer to the schedule
of materials fees for the fees required for each category of license and
each type of fee.
