Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
Upon a determination that an application meets the
					 requirements of this section, chapters 70A.388 RCW and 246-220 through 246-254
					 WAC, the department will issue a specific license authorizing the possession
					 and use of radioactive material.
(1)
				  The application is for a purpose authorized by chapter 70A.388 RCW;
(2) The applicant is qualified by training
				  and experience to use the material for the purpose requested in such manner as
				  to protect health and safety and minimize danger to life or property;
(3) The applicant's proposed equipment,
				  facilities, and procedures are adequate to protect health and safety and
				  minimize danger to life or property;
(4) The issuance of the license will not harm
				  the health and safety of the public;
(5) The applicant satisfies any applicable
				  special requirements in chapters 246-220 through 246-254 WAC; and
(6) In the case of an application for a
				  license to receive and possess radioactive material for commercial waste
				  disposal by land burial, source material milling, uranium enrichment facility
				  construction and operation, production of uranium hexafluoride, or for the
				  conduct of any other activity which the department determines will
				  significantly affect the quality of the environment, the applicant may not
				  begin construction until the department has weighed the environmental,
				  economic, technical, and other benefits against the environmental costs, and,
				  considering available alternatives, has concluded that the issuance of the
				  license is appropriate, with any appropriate conditions to protect
				  environmental values. Commencement of construction prior to approval by the
				  department shall be grounds for denial of a license to receive and possess
				  radioactive material in the plant or facility. Commencement of construction as
				  defined in chapter 246-220 WAC may include nonconstruction activities if the
				  activity has a reasonable nexus to radiological safety and security.
