        136C.13  EMERGENCIES.
         If the department finds that an emergency exists involving
      radioactive material or radiation machines that requires immediate
      action to protect the public health and safety, the department may,
      without notice or hearing, issue an order stating that an emergency
      exists and requiring that action be taken as necessary to meet the
      emergency.  An emergency order shall be effective immediately.  A
      person to whom the order is directed shall comply with the order
      immediately, but on application to the department shall be afforded a
      hearing within ten days of the date application is made.  The
      emergency order may be continued, modified, or revoked within thirty
      days after the hearing, based on the evidence presented at the
      hearing.
