This section summarizes the licensing and training
requirements that pertain to ownership or operation of a
nuclear gauge. This section also provides information on the
proper disposal of the gauge, as well as emergency procedures
to follow if the gauge is lost, stolen, or damaged.
Licensing
In the United States, possession and use of the radioactive
materials in a nuclear gauge require a license issued by the U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) or an Agreement State
licensing agency. Detailed information on obtaining a license is
contained in the Troxler Licensing Guide . Copies of this guide are
available from Troxler, or can be downloaded from the Troxler
website:

.
To purchase a nuclear gauge in Canada, an owner must obtain a
radioisotope license from the Canadian Nuclear Safety
Commission (CNSC). The owner should obtain copies of the
CNSC Regulations and the Transportation of Dangerous Goods
Act and Regulations. For other countries, please consult your
local regulatory agency.
Training
In the United States, anyone working with or near radioactive
materials must complete a radiation safety training course to be
designated an
authorized user . Authorized users must be trained
in the precautions and procedures to minimize radiation
exposure; applicable regulatory requirements; and the
operating, emergency, maintenance, and transportation
procedures for the gauge. Troxler offers training classes
designed to meet regulatory agency training requirements for
nuclear gauge users.
