Which documents confirm authority to receive RAM?

• A. A purchase order
• B. A copy of the recipient's NRC license, USAF, USN, or VA RAM permit, or Agreement State license
• C. A simple email
• D. A company business certificate

Answer: (D)

The key idea is proving that the organization is legally authorized to handle RAM and receive shipments. A company business certificate shows the entity is a legitimate, registered party that can conduct business, which is a necessary baseline for being approved to receive radioactive material. It demonstrates the organization exists and can engage with suppliers and regulators, forming the foundation for any RAM-related licenses or permits. The other options don’t provide that formal organizational authorization: a purchase order or a simple email are just transaction communications, and while a regulator’s license or permit is the formal credential, the business certificate is what establishes the entity’s eligibility to hold and pursue RAM-related approvals in the first place.
