By-Product Material
• Material made radioactive incident to or yielded in the process of producing or utilizing special nuclear material
• Wastes or tailings produced during extraction of uranium or thorium from any ore that is being processes primarily for its source material content.

Energy Policy Act of 2005
• General Provisions– “Innovative technologies” to reduce greenhouse– Increased ethanol content of gasoline
• Tax Reductions to energy-related companies• Change to daylight savings time• Commercial building deduction energy systems• Energy Management
– Lowered lighting standards
• Adds new regulations for– Accelerator Produced Radioactive Material– Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material

Jurisdiction• OSHA
– Misc Occ Safety & Health issues related to operation– Incidental RAM– Employee exposure: x-ray equipment, electron microscopes,
accelerators– OS&H not regulated by other Fed agencies
• NRC– Licensing nuclear facilities– Hazards in those facilities– Conditions in those facilities– “By-product material”
• DOE

NRC Accelerator Types
• Accelerators operated intentionally to produce radioactive material
• Accelerators that are operated to produce particle beams
• Accelerators operated to produce both
EPAct2005: NRC does not regulate “incidental RAM” does not regulate possession or operation of particle accelerators
