For matters affecting legal rights or requiring legal interpretation, readers should consult a lawyer.
GENERAL PROVISIONS FOR RADIATION PROTECTION
(32 Ill. Adm. Code 310)
This Part authorizes inspection and investigation of the premises, operations and personnel of any radiation installation, whether or not such installation is required to be registered or licensed by the Division of Nuclear Safety, for the purpose of studying and evaluating the health hazard(s) caused by the use and operation of such machines and material; sets the policy for assessment of civil penalties for violations; and applies to all persons who receive, possess, use, transfer, own, or acquire any source of radiation within the State of Illinois.
FINANCIAL ASSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
(32 Ill. Adm. Code 326)
This Part prescribes financial assurance requirements to ensure that specific and general licensees will have sufficient funds to reclaim properties. This Part identifies which licensees must file financial assurance arrangements and describes arrangements acceptable to the Agency. This Part is not applicable to licensees subject to 32 Ill. Adm. Code 332 that have financial assurance arrangements on file with the Agency.
LICENSING OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL
(32 Ill. Adm. Code 330)
This Part establishes licensing requirements for persons who receive, possess, utilize, manufacture, distribute, transfer, own or acquire radioactive material or devices or equipment utilizing or producing such materials.
FEES FOR RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL LICENSEES AND REGISTRANTS
(32 Ill. Adm. Code 331)
This Part establishes fees to cover the costs of licensure and inspection of radioactive material licenses, registration of certain types of generally licensed devices, recovery and remediation of radioactive material and evaluation and maintenance of sealed source and device evaluations conducted in support of radioactive material licenses issued by the Illinois Department of Nuclear Safety (the Agency).
LICENSING REQUIREMENTS FOR SOURCE MATERIAL MILLING FACILITIES
(32 Ill. Adm. Code 332)
This Part establishes procedures, criteria, and conditions upon which the Division of Nuclear Safety issues specific licenses for source material milling and disposal of the byproduct material. The regulations in this Part do not establish procedures and criteria for the issuance of licenses for materials covered under Title I of the Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act of 1978 (42 U.S.C. 7901).
FEES FOR BY-PRODUCT MATERIAL LICENSES
(32 Ill. Adm. Code 334)
This Part establishes an annual fee to be paid by the owner or operator of any property that has been used in whole or in part for the milling of source material and is being used for the storage or disposal of by-product material, equal to $2 per cubic foot of by-product material being stored or disposed of by the facility. However, no fees shall be collected from any State, county, municipal, or local governmental agency.
USE OF RADIONUCLIDES IN THE HEALING ARTS
(32 Ill. Adm. Code 335)
This Part establishes requirements for the use of radionuclides in the healing arts and for issuance of licenses by the Division of Nuclear Safety authorizing the medical use of this material.
STANDARDS FOR PROTECTION AGAINST RADIATION
(32 Ill. Adm. Code 340)
This Part establishes standards for protection against ionizing radiation resulting from activities conducted pursuant to licenses or registrations issued by the Division of Nuclear Safety. The requirements of this Part are designed to control the receipt, possession, use, transfer, and disposal of sources of radiation by any licensee or registrant so that the total dose to an individual, including doses resulting from all sources of radiation other than background radiation, does not exceed the standards for protection against radiation prescribed in this Part. However, nothing in this Part shall be construed as limiting actions that may be necessary to protect health and safety in an emergency.
TRANSPORTATION OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL
(32 Ill. Adm. Code 341)
This Part establishes requirements for packaging, preparation for shipment and transportation of radioactive material and applies to any person who transports radioactive material or delivers radioactive material to a carrier for transport.
LICENSES AND RADIATION SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR IRRADIATORS
(32 Ill. Adm. Code 346)
This Part contains requirements for the issuance of a license by the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (Agency), authorizing the use of sealed sources containing radioactive materials in irradiators used to irradiate objects or materials using gamma radiation. Also included are radiation safety requirements for irradiators currently in operation.
RADIATION SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR INDUSTRIAL RADIOGRAPHIC OPERATIONS
(32 Ill. Adm. Code 350)
This Part establishes radiation safety requirements for persons using sources of radiation for industrial radiography.
RADIATION SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR WIRELINE SERVICE OPERATIONS AND SUBSURFACE TRACER STUDIES
(32 Ill. Adm. Code 351)
This Part establishes radiation safety requirements for individuals using sources of radiation for wireline service operations, including mineral logging, radioactive markers and subsurface tracer studies.
