Current through June 24, 2024
(1) RECOGNITION OF LICENSES ISSUED BY THE NRC
				  OR OTHER STATES. The department shall reciprocally recognize radioactive
				  material licenses issued by the NRC or a state agency in another state under
				  the conditions set forth in this section.
(2) LICENSES OF BYPRODUCT, SOURCE AND SPECIAL
				  NUCLEAR MATERIAL IN QUANTITIES NOT SUFFICIENT TO FORM A CRITICAL MASS.
(a) Subject to this chapter, any person who
				  holds a specific license from the NRC or another agreement state, and issued by
				  the agency having jurisdiction where the licensee maintains an office for
				  directing the licensed activity and at which radiation safety records are
				  normally maintained, is granted a general license to conduct the activities
				  authorized in such licensing document within this state for a period not in
				  excess of 180 days in any year provided that all of the following occur:
1. The licensing document does not limit the
				  activity authorized by the document to specified installations or
				  locations.
2. The out-of-state
				  licensee notifies the department in writing at least 3 days prior to engaging
				  in the activity. The notification shall indicate the exact location of use,
				  start date, time period, names, documentation of training, in-state address of
				  the individual performing the activity, radiation sources to be used within the
				  state, operating and emergency procedures and shall be accompanied by a copy of
				  the pertinent licensing document. The out-of-state licensee shall also notify
				  the department of any changes in the work location, schedule, radioactive
				  material or work activities. If, for a specific case, the 3-day period would
				  impose an undue hardship on the out-of-state licensee, the licensee may, upon
				  written application to the department, obtain permission to proceed sooner. The
				  department may waive the requirement for filing additional written
				  notifications during the remainder of the year following the receipt of the
				  initial notification from a person engaging in activities under the general
				  license granted under this paragraph.
