Navigating Regulatory Requirements. With Expert Support.

Radioactive Source Licensing Guidance

Radiometric measurement systems containing radioactive sources are subject to licensing requirements established by the regulatory authorities in the regions where they are installed and operated.

Ronan’s experienced team helps customers navigate these requirements, providing guidance and documentation to support license applications, amendments, and ongoing compliance. Whether you’re purchasing a new system, modifying an existing installation, or relocating a radioactive source, we’re here to help you understand the requirements and next steps.

International shipments of radioactive sources may also be subject to U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) export restrictions and embargoes, which can change over time.

The U.S. NRC prohibits the exportation to certain countries, and restricts exportation to others. Those countries affected change periodically and can be reviewed on the following links:
