136C.9 REGISTRATION AND LICENSE REQUIREMENTS.
1. The department shall establish by rule a system for the
registration of the possession of radiation machines and for the
licensing of radioactive materials in the state. The rules may
provide for the issuance of the following licenses:
a. General licenses which do not require the filing of an
application or the issuance of a document but do permit designated
persons to transfer, acquire, own, possess, or use quantities of or
equipment using radioactive materials.
b. Specific licenses issued upon application to a person
named in the license to use, manufacture, produce, transfer, receive,
acquire, or possess quantities of or equipment using radioactive
material. Applicants requesting radioactive materials in quantities
of concern, as identified by the United States nuclear regulatory
commission, shall submit fingerprints to the United States nuclear
regulatory commission for a background check of all individuals
authorized for unescorted access to such material.
2. The department may exempt certain sources of radiation or
kinds of uses or users from the licensing or registration
requirements when the department finds that the exemption of the
source of radiation, use, or users will not pose a significant risk
to the health and safety of the public. The rules may provide for
recognition of other state or federal licenses as the department may
allow, subject to registration requirements as the department may
prescribe.
3. A person shall not use, manufacture, produce, distribute,
sell, transport, transfer, install, repair, receive, acquire, own, or
possess any radioactive material without a license from the
department as provided in this chapter. Section History: Recent Form
