licensees provide the majority of reports, but other entities that may 
voluntarily send reports include fuel facilities, independent spent 
fuel storage installations, decommissioned power reactors, power 
reactors under construction, research and test reactors, agreement 
states, non-agreement states, as well as users of byproduct material

provided by licensees is considered OFFICIAL USE ONLY and is not made 
public.
