RS 2105 - Permits, licenses, and registrations  A. The secretary shall provide by rules or regulations for general or specific licensing of each person to receive, transfer, transport, produce, manufacture, acquire, own, possess, or use byproduct, source, and special nuclear materials in quantities not sufficient to form a critical mass; technologically enhanced natural radioactive material; other naturally occurring and artificially produced radionuclides; or devices or equipment utilizing such materials. Such rules or regulations shall provide for amendment, suspension, or revocation of licenses and shall also provide that: (1) Each application for a specific license shall be in writing and shall state such information as the secretary may, by rule or regulation, determine to be necessary to decide the technical, insurance, and financial qualifications or any other qualifications of the applicant as the secretary may deem reasonable and necessary to protect occupational and public welfare and safety. The secretary may, at any time after the filing of the application and before the expiration of the license, require further written statements and shall make such inspections as the secretary may deem necessary in order to determine whether the license should be granted or denied or whether the license should be modified, suspended, or revoked.

2021 Louisiana Laws|Revised Statutes|Title 30 - Minerals, Oil, and Gas and Environmental Quality|§2106. Nuclear power facilities; emergency planning; findings; and fees

RS 2106 - Nuclear power facilities; emergency planning; findings; and fees  A. The legislature finds and declares that:  (1) The operation of nuclear power facilities in or adjacent to the state raises the possibility of adverse health or environmental effects which could result from radiological incidents or accidents at such facilities. (2) To ensure the safety and welfare of the people and environmental resources of Louisiana, it is necessary to conduct environmental radiation surveillance and monitoring programs in the vicinity of nuclear power facilities and to develop, implement and maintain radiological emergency preparedness plans involving such facilities. (3) It is appropriate that the nuclear power facilities bear the costs associated with such surveillance and monitoring programs and radiological emergency preparedness plans. B.(1) Every person who is licensed by the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission to construct or operate a nuclear power facility for the production of electricity shall pay an annual fee for each nuclear power facility which is located within this state or has a Plume Exposure Pathway Emergency Planning Zone, of which any part is located within this state. (2) These fees shall be used to cover the costs of developing, maintaining, and implementing state radiological emergency preparedness plans and radiation surveillance and monitoring programs involving such facilities determined by the secretary to be necessary to ensure the safety and welfare of the people and environmental resources of the state. (3) These fees shall be determined by the secretary using a formula developed by rules to be based upon a cost not to exceed the annual costs of radiological emergency preparedness and surveillance and monitoring activities required therewith. Such formula shall be submitted to and approved by the House Committee on Natural Resources and Environment and the Senate Committee on Environmental Quality prior to the implementation thereof. C. The secretary is authorized to adopt and promulgate rules and regulations consistent with the general intent and purposes of this Section and R.S. 30:2104(A)(13) and (14).

B. The governor may call upon the attorney general as necessary to obtain an injunction to enforce an evacuation order issued pursuant to any declaration of a disaster emergency pursuant to and in accordance with R.S. 29:724 or 727 and which is related to a source of radiation. Should the attorney general decline to obtain an injunction to enforce an evacuation order as provided in this Section, or if the attorney general does not respond to the governor's request within twenty-four hours of such request and agree to seek such an injunction, an attorney from the department may, with the concurrence of the attorney general, seek an injunction to enforce an evacuation order issued in accordance with this Section.  C. Upon a declaration of a state of disaster emergency pursuant to and in accordance with Chapter 6 of Title 29 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950 related to a source of radiation, the secretary of the Department of Environmental Quality is authorized to enter into any contracts or agreements necessary to perform any duty or function required of the secretary in any radiological response plan.
