Abstract: 10 CFR Part 36, contains requirements for the issuance of a license authorizing the use of sealed sources containing radioactive materials in irradiators used to irradiate objects or materials for a variety of purposes in research, industry, and other fields. The subparts cover specific requirements for obtaining a license or license exemption, design and performance criteria for irradiators; and radiation safety requirements for operating irradiators, including requirements for operator training, written operating and emergency procedures, personnel monitoring, radiation surveys, inspection, and maintenance. Part 36 also contains the recordkeeping and reporting requirements that are necessary to ensure that the irradiator is being safely operated so that it does not pose any danger to the health and safety of the general public and the irradiator employees.

Short Statement: The overall burden has increased by 8,564 hours from 34,048 to 42,612 hours due to an increased in the number of respondents from 56 to 70. This is due to a total increase of 14 irradiator licenses from NRC and Agreement State licensees from the 2014 numbers. The cost estimates have changed since the last clearance, as a result of a decrease in the fee rate per hour from $272 to $263/hour. The burden hour increase, 8564 hours, relates to an estimated average burden of 612 burden hours per respondent per year, multiplied by the 14 new respondents.
