13. 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

14. 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
