42 U.S.C. § 2233: Terms of licenses

Summary

The Commission must set the form and rules for every license so the chapter can work. Each license must follow those rules. A license only gives rights to special nuclear material if the license itself says so. A license and any rights under it cannot be transferred in ways that violate the chapter. Every license is subject to the right of recapture or control in section 2138 and to all other chapter provisions and Commission rules.
