Radioactive Materials staff are involved in a variety of radiation protection activities, including:

• Chapter 33.1-10-03.1 of the North Dakota Radiological Health Rules pertains to licensing of radioactive material.
• No person may manufacture, purchase, transfer, receive, acquire, own, possess, store or use radioactive material without first being licensed by the Department.
• A licensee may renew the license by submitting a completed Radioactive Materials License Application.
• Licensing Guides for each type of materials license are available through our office and from this Guide Page.
• Reciprocity (recognition of license from other jurisdictions) may be granted for up to 180 days in any 12 consecutive months to out of state licensees provided they fully comply with the requirements of Chapter 33.1-10-19 of the North Dakota Radiological Health Rules.
• Assisting in the Department's emergency response efforts involving radioactive material.

Fees may be paid by check, money order, or by online payment.

Instructions and link to the online payment portal may be found below:

• Payment Portal
• Payment Portal Instructions

Checks and money orders should be mailed to:

• ND Department of Environmental Quality
  Radiation Control Program
  4201 Normandy Street, 2nd Floor
  Bismarck, ND 58503-1324

Reciprocity (recognition of license from other jurisdictions) approvals granted to out of state licensees are valid for one year; which then allows the authorized company to use radioactive material in N.D. for up to 180 days in that year, provided they fully comply with the requirements of 33.1-10-19 of the North Dakota Radiological Health Rules. Please note: Reciprocity expiration notices are not sent out - responsibility for reciprocity renewal remains with the licensee.

Subject to this article, any person who holds a specific license from the U.S. NRC or an agreement state may be granted permission to conduct its activities (as authorized in the license) within North Dakota. To apply for Reciprocity contact our office at 701-328-5166.

Please note: Reciprocity expiration notices are not sent out - responsibility for reciprocity renewal remains with the licensee.

Use Form RCP-12, "Request for Radioactive Material Reciprocity", submit the information below:

Complete and submit to the Department Form RCP-12—Request for Radioactive Material Reciprocity

Send written notification to the Department at least three working days prior to entering North Dakota with:

• Location and duration of proposed work.
• Type and quantity of material used.
• Name(s) and qualification(s) of individual users.
• Type of proposed possession and use within the state.

Current copy of the pertinent licensing document from the NRC or Agreement State.

Current copy of licensee's Operating & Procedures Manual.

Training of individual user(s) if not specifically listed on the NRC or Agreement State License.

Obtain a "Certificate of Authority" from the North Dakota Secretary of State to operate in North Dakota. ( To see if your company is registered search here )

Medical (ME)
Unsealed radiopharmaceuticals or the radiation from sealed sources administered to patients for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. Most hospitals and some major clinics have nuclear medicine departments. Some clinics and certain private physicians may also be licensed to use radioactive materials for only diagnostic procedures.

Mobile Nuclear Van (MN)
Unsealed radiopharmaceuticals or the radiation from sealed sources administered to patients for diagnostic purposes from a mobile unit instead of a fixed facility. This type of license is similar to Medical license but is smaller in scope, while performing at various temporary locations.

Level Gauges (LG)
Small sealed radioactive sources used in permanently mounted test equipment to measure the density of material within a pipe or the level of material in a vessel. These are used in power plants and other industrial applications.

Industrial Radiography (IR)
Radiation from sealed radioactive sources is used at various locations to create images of the insides of objects, for example, to inspect metal castings or welds for internal flaws.

Well Logging (WL)
Radioactive sources used in underground well logging applications at various locations. Types of well logging include: Gamma Ray, Spectral Gamma Ray, Radioactive Tracer, Density Logs, Neutron Logs, Pulsed Decay Time and Induced Spectrometry. The information produced during logging can be used to determine stratigraphic profiles, and also the porosity/density of the formation.

Moisture/Density Gauges (MD)
Small sealed radioactive sources are used in portable test equipment to measure moisture and/or density of construction materials, road beds, roofing, or agricultural land. The gauges are susceptible to theft and damage by road construction equipment. These are used by government and industry at various construction sites.

Portable Gauges (PG)
Small sealed radioactive sources are used in portable test equipment to measure lead content, density of materials and thickness of pipe wall. The gauges are also susceptible to theft and damage by heavy equipment.

Irradiators (ID)
The use of gamma radiation from sealed sources to irradiate materials such as blood and blood products to prevent engraftment and proliferation of lymphocytes capable of mounting an immune response against the recipient. Irradiators may also be used to calibrate dosimeters. These devices are used at blood banks, calibration facilities and universities.

Laboratory Use (LU)
Unsealed radioactive materials may be used to study living systems and to improve or test products or materials. Users may include biotechnology firms, colleges and universities, and testing labs.

Testing & Calibration (TC)
Sealed radioactive sources with known amounts of activity used as standards for the testing and calibration of radiation detection equipment.

Research & Development (DD)
Sealed and/or unsealed radioactive sources used to study living systems and to improve or test products, materials or processes for the purpose of education, research and/or development.
