This manual provides uniform instruction and guidance for the management and control of radioactive material (RAM) in the USAF. It sets forth how USAF personnel or units manage the utilization of all RAM not expressly excluded from the purview of this manual; this includes: acquisition, use, storage, security, receipt, transfer, transportation, distribution, and disposal. This manual also prescribes how non-USAF entities get approval to use, store, and transport RAM on USAF installations. Workers using radioactive material should focus on paragraph 2.18 for their individual requirements.
RAM covered by this manual includes, without limitation, any licensable RAM, as defined by Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Chapter I, Nuclear Regulatory Commission, which applies to the USAF and for other RAM as described in this manual.
Due to substantial rev ision, complete review of this document is required. The document is streamlined to remove non-directive content. Major changes include using Inspector General Management Evaluation System for radioactive material permit inspections and clarification or updates on: radioactive material remediation process, management of generally licensed devices, required use of the Radioactive Material Management Information System (RAMMIS), requirements for installation level radiation policy, and training requirements
Publications state their own changes on page 1 — behind a PDF the official host will not serve to a search engine. This is that section, verbatim. It describes the edition above, not every historical change.
These Code of Federal Regulations references appear in AFMAN 40-201 but are not in the current CFR — checked against the eCFR structure API. A part can vanish because it was removed or reorganised, and some references are simply mistyped in the source publication. Either way the pointer is dead: verify before relying on it, and check every publication affected.

1 publication in 1 other community depend on this one, which Medical Command owns. Each community inspects its own publications; a dependency that crosses communities is owned by nobody, which is why this list normally does not exist anywhere. Built from the publications' own citations, so it reflects what we have read.
If AFMAN 40-201 changes, these are the documents that point at it. Extracted from the publications' own text, so it reflects what we have read, not a complete dependency map. Every publishing office validates its own document; nobody validates the seams between them.
Records in this branch carrying the same series and number — interim changes, guidance memoranda, and unit supplements. A copy stamped with one of these is a different document from the base publication.
