Text

(a) The department shall adopt rules under IC 4-22-2 for general and specific licensing of radioactive material, or
devices or equipment utilizing such material. The rules must provide
for the amendment, suspension, or revocation of licenses. The rules
must also provide the following:
(1) Each application for a specific license shall be in writing and
shall state such information as the department, by rule or
regulation, may determine to be necessary to decide the technical
and financial qualifications or any other qualifications of the
applicant as the department may deem reasonable and necessary
to protect the occupational health and safety and public health and
safety. The department may at any time after the filing of the
application, and before the expiration of the license, require
further written statements and may make such inspections as the
department may deem necessary in order to determine whether
the license should be modified, suspended, or revoked. All
applications and statements shall be signed by the applicant or
licensee. The department may require any applications or
statements to be made under oath or affirmation.
(2) Each license shall be in such form and contain such terms and
conditions as the department may by rule or regulation prescribe.
(3) No license issued under the authority of this chapter and no
right to possess or use sources of radiation granted by any license
shall be assigned or in any manner disposed of unless the
department shall, after securing full information, find that the
transfer is in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, and
shall give its consent in writing.
(4) The terms and conditions of all licenses shall be subject to
amendment, revision, or modification by rules, regulations, or
orders issued in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
(b) The department is authorized to require registration or licensing
of other sources of radiation.
(c) The department is authorized to exempt certain sources of
radiation or kinds of uses or users from the licensing or registration
requirements set forth in this section when the department makes a
finding that the exemption of such sources of radiation or kinds of uses
or users will not constitute a significant risk to the health and safety of
the public.
(d) Rules and regulations promulgated under this chapter may
provide for recognition of other state or federal licenses as the
department shall deem desirable, subject to such registration
requirements as the department may prescribe.
