Licensing Requirements

Compliance with the terms of state, federal, and institutional regulations for the procurement of radioactive materials is the responsibility of the user. Purchasers of radiolabeled compounds should familiarize themselves with applicable regulations.

The licensing of radioactive material in the United States is handled by several agencies. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), a federal agency, has jurisdiction over materials known as by-product, source and special nuclear material. The NRC may delegate this authority to states that have programs that meet NRC guidelines. More information can be obtained by writing to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission at:

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
Office of Nuclear Material
Safety and Safeguards
Washington, D.C. 20555

To comply with NRC and California guidelines Moravek Biochemicals, Inc. must have a customer license or written certification stating that the customer is authorized to possess the type and quantity of radioactive material being ordered. This information must be provided before any order is shipped.
