The Off-Site Source Recovery Program (OSRP) is a U.S. Government activity sponsored by the National Nuclear Security Administration's (NNSA) Office of Global Material Security and is managed at Los Alamos National Laboratory through the Nuclear Engineering & Nonproliferation Division. OSRP has an NNSA sponsored mission to remove excess, unwanted, or disused radioactive sealed sources that pose a potential risk to health, safety, and national security.
The initial scope of OSRP included any sealed sources comprising Greater than Class C (GTCC) low-level radioactive waste. However, since September 11, 2001, the mission expanded from environmental concerns to address broader public safety and national security requirements. As a result, OSRP moved from the Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Environmental Management, to NNSA in 2003.In addition to transuranic sources, the expanded OSRP mission now includes recovery of beta/gamma emitting sources, which are of concern to both the U.S. government and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
Entities having unwanted radioactive sealed sources should visit the OSRP full website for more details -- osrp.lanl.gov
