    (a) This part prescribes requirements for the issuance of a license 
authorizing the use of licensed materials including sealed sources, 
radioactive tracers, radioactive markers, and uranium sinker bars in 
well logging in a single well. This part also prescribes radiation 
safety requirements for persons using licensed materials in these 
operations. The provisions and requirements of this part are in addition 
to, and not in substitution for, other requirements of this chapter. In 
particular, the provisions of parts 19, 20, 21, 30, 40, 70, 71, and 150 
of this chapter apply to applicants and licensees subject to this part.
    (b) The requirements set out in this part do not apply to the 
issuance of a license authorizing the use of licensed material in tracer 
studies involving multiple wells, such as field flooding studies, or to 
the use of sealed sources auxiliary to well logging but not lowered into 
wells.
