| Abstract | The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issues licenses to users of byproduct materials in 21 states and the District of Columbia. The regulations governing the possession and use of these products are found in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) specifically Parts 19, 20, 30 and 35 for medical use of radionuclides. Some areas are clear and not likely to be misinterpreted but, there are some sections which may be interpreted in several ways. At our institution one of the reasons a Severity Level III violation was issued was due to the radiation safety officer's (RSO) interpretation of the regulation. A package containing 2 millicuries of iodine-125 was lost due to personnel not following established policies for the receipt of radioactive material. The RSO failed to notify NRC immediately because he did not think the criteria for immediate notification as stated in 10 CFR Part 20.2201 had been met. Part 20.2201 states that a licensee shall report by telephone immediately after its occurrence becomes known to the licensee any lost, stolen or missing licensed materials greater than specified quantities if it appears that an exposure could result to persons in unrestricted areas. It is important to keep abreast of the philosophy of the NRC and the areas that are of current interest to avoid violations. With the increase in the incidents of deliberate misuse of isotopes at medical or research facilities, NRC is wary of radioisotopes being tampered with and misused. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
