SCATR:
The Conference of Radiation Control Program Directors' Source Collection and Threat Reduction Program


Opportunity to Dispose of Unused Radioactive Sources

The Conference of Radiation Control Program Directors (CRCPD) and DOE/NNSA have entered into a cooperative agreement to support consolidation and disposal of commercially disposable radioactive sealed sources at the State level. SCATR’s goal is to collect sources being stored and not used that pose threat to public health and safety and could possibly be used for malicious intent. DOE recognizes that the availability of disposal of such sources is limited and expensive; and has initiated this rare opportunity for licensees to have financial assistance in properly securing and disposing of these sources through this CRCPD program.

 

Payments, Registration, & Renewal


Inspection Invoice Payments
Shielding plan review payments
Vendor Registration Renewal
Physicist Registration Renewal
Radiation Machine Facility Renewal

NOTES:

  • While we do accept checks for payments, all renewal payments paid by checks should be accompanied by the application and include the registration number. Please include the registration numbers or indicate that it is a new registration on the check. A new registration is not needed to add new equipment to a current registration as long as it can be included in the facility's shielding plan. 
  • Registration and some types of inspections fees increased on April 28th 2024 (See Attached Memorandum)
