Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
(1) This
			 division prescribes rules applicable to all persons in the State of Oregon
			 governing licensing of radioactive material, and for exemptions from licensing
			 requirements. No person may receive, produce, possess, use, transfer, own or
			 acquire byproduct material except as authorized in a specific or general
			 license pursuant to this division or divisions 105, 113, 115, 116, 117, or 121
			 of this chapter.
(2) In addition to
			 the requirements of division 102, all licensees are subject to applicable
			 requirements in divisions 100, 103, 111, 118, and 120 of this chapter. The
			 requirements of this division are in addition to, and not in substitution for,
			 other requirements of this chapter. In any conflict between the requirements in
			 this division and a specific requirement in another division of the rules in
			 this chapter, the specific requirement governs.
(3) This division establishes general
			 licenses for the possession and use of source material and depleted uranium,
			 for radioactive material contained in certain items, and for ownership of
			 radioactive material.
(4) This
			 division gives notice to all persons who knowingly provide to any licensee,
			 contractor, or subcontractor, components, equipment, materials, or other goods
			 or services, that relate to a licensee's activities subject to this division,
			 that they may be individually subject to Authority actions pursuant to OAR
			 333-100-0035  or
			 333-100-0040.
(5) This division prescribes requirements for
			 the issuance of specific licenses to persons who manufacture or initially
			 transfer items containing radioactive material for sale or distribution to
			 persons granted a general license by this division or to persons authorized by
			 the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission to distribute to persons exempted from
			 licensing requirements, and it prescribes certain rules governing holders of
			 these licenses. In addition, this division prescribes requirements for the
			 issuance of specific licenses to persons who introduce radioactive material
			 into a product or material owned by or in the possession of the licensee or
			 another and rules governing holders of such licenses. Further, this division
			 describes procedures and prescribes requirements for the issuance of
			 certificates of registration (governing radiation safety information about a
			 product) to manufacturers or initial transferors of sealed source or devices
			 containing sealed sources, which are to be used by persons specifically
			 licensed under this division or equivalent regulations of an Agreement State or
			 the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
(6) The Authority may engage the services of
			 qualified persons in order to assist the Authority in meeting the requirements
			 of this chapter, including, but not limited to, evaluating information that may
			 be required under OAR
			 333-102-0200(6).
(7) Information provided to the Authority by
			 an applicant for a license or by a licensee or information required by statute
			 or by the Authority's rules, orders, or license conditions to be maintained by
			 the applicant or the licensee must be complete and accurate in all material
			 respects.
(8) Each applicant or
			 licensee must notify the Authority of information identified by the applicant
			 or licensee as having for the regulated activity a significant implication for
			 public health and safety. An applicant or licensee violates this rule only if
			 the applicant or licensee fails to notify the Authority of information that the
			 applicant or licensee has identified as having a significant implication for
			 public health and safety. Notification must be provided to the Authority within
			 two working days of identifying the information. This requirement is not
			 applicable to information that already is required to be provided to the
			 Authority by other reporting or updating requirements.
