"SEC. 2. Fly Dlxrs. ~?The Congress of the United States hereby makes the following findings concerning the development, use, and control of atomic energy "a. The development, utilization, and control of atomic energy for military and for all other purposes are vital to the cannlion defense and security. "b. In permitting the property of the United States to be used by "others, such use must bo regulated in the national interest and in order to provide for the common defense and security. and to protect the health and safety of the public. "c. The processing and utilization of source, byproduct, and special nuclear material affect interstate and foreign commerce and must l7e re~ulated in the national interest. `d.

DDIIESTIO DISTRIBUTION: NO person may transfer or receive in interstate commerce, manufacture,. produce, transfer, acquire, own, possess, import, or export any byproduct materlal, except to the extent authorized by thrs section or y section 82. The Commns- sion is authorized to issue general or specnfic licenses to applicants seeking to use byproduct material for research or development pur- poses, for medical therapy, industrial uses, agricultural uses, or such other useful applications as may be developed. The Commission may distribute, sell, loan, or lease such byproduct material as it owns to licensees with or wnthout charge : Provided, however, That, for byproduct material to be distributed by the Commission fora charge, the Commission shall establish prices on such equitable basis as, in the opinion of the Commission, (a) will provide reasonable compensation to the Government for such material, (b) will not discourage the use of such material or the development of sources of supply of such material independent of tlt? Commission, and (c) wi1L encourage research and development. In distributing such maternal, the Commns- sion shall give preference to applicants proposing to use such material either in the conduct of research and development or in medical therapy. Licensees of the Commission may distrnbute byproduct mate- rial only to applicants therefor who are licensed by the Commission to receive such byproduct material. The Commission shall not permit the distribution of any byproduct material to any licensee, and shall recall or order the recall of any distributed material from any licensee, who is not equipped to observe or who fails to observe such safety standards to protect health as may be established by the Commissioe or who uses such material iu violation of law or regelation of. the Com- mission or in a manner other than as disclosed in the application Therefor or approved by the Commission. The Commission rs author- ized to establish classes of byproduct material and to exempt certain classes or quantities of maternal or kinds of uses or users from the requirements for a license set forth in this section when it makes a finding that the exemption of such classes or quantities of such mate- rial or such kinds of uses or users will not constitute an unreasonable risk to the common defense and security and to the health and safety of the public. ---- "SEG. 82. FOREIGN DI8'rRln$iJ1'IGN Or BYPRODUCT MATERIAL: "a. The Commission is authorized to cooperate with any nation by distributing byproduct material, and to distrnbute byproduct material, pursuant to the terms of an agreement for cooperatnon to which such nation is party and which is made in accordance with section 123. "b. The Commission is also authorized to distribute byproduct material to any person outside the United States upon applncation therefor by such person and demand such charge for such material as would be charged for the material if it were distributed within the United States: Provided, however, That the Commission shall not distribute any such materlal to any person tinder this section if, in its opinion, such distribution would be inimical to the common defense -and security: And provided further, That the (commission may require such reports regarding the use of material distributed pur- suant to the provnstons of this section as it deems necessary. "c. The Commission is authorized to license others to distribute byproduct material to any person outside the United States under they same conditions, except as to charges, as would be applicable if the; material were distributed by the Commission.
