Why do you suppose that two of the three NRC listings in my home state (NH, Region1) are a preschool and a church? You sure this is legit?
Cryptome:
Good question which applies to most of the listings which don't appear to fit the NRC rationale below for licensing. It is likely the list contains names of parties which commented on nuclear regulation, probably in opposition to a toxic site. If so, it would be a substantial privacy violation by NRC to release the list without explanation or warning to the parties listed. Maybe some of the innocents will write to complain about the NRC toxic threat for targeting them.http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/privacy.html#3

Four Excel spreadsheet files identifying the complete set of Licensees of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. For a description of what the NRC licenses, see
http://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/regulatory/licensing.htmlNRC licenses the following activities:
* construction, operation, and decommissioning of commercial reactors and fuel cycle facilities
* possession, use, processing, exporting, importing, and certain aspects of transporting nuclear materials and waste
* siting, design, construction, operations, and closure of waste disposal sites
The licensing process includes approving the initial license, subsequent license modifications, and license renewals.
To be licensed to use nuclear materials or operate a facility that uses nuclear materials, an entity or individual submits an application to the NRC. The staff reviews this information, using standard review plans, to ensure that the applicant's assumptions are technically correct and that the environment will not be adversely affected by a nuclear operation or facility.
These were provided by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

"In the United States there are large quantities of nonfissionable but highly radioactive materials contained within machines, primarily in hospitals and at industrial sites, and the machines, because they are expensive, are sometimes stolen for resale. In fact in the United States alone there are hundreds of thefts of radioactive material every year. As to why no dirty bomb has yet been assembled and used, analysts provide earnest explanations, but largely to avoid throwing up their hands in wonder.
It turns out that the world is rich with fresh, safe, user-friendly Highly Enriched Uranium -- a global accumulation (outside of our collective thirty thousand nuclear warheads) that is dispersed among hundreds of sites and further separated into nicely transportable, necessarily subcritical packages. The practical question is how to pick some up."
