Radiation Control Program

The Radiation Control Program monitors the development and use of ionizing radiation sources and devices to protect the health and safety of North Dakotans and the environment. The program licenses radioactive material users and registers x-ray facilities. Staff members track about 62 radioactive material licenses, more than 700 x-ray registrants, and perform periodic inspections of both types of radiation users. Please read our disclaimer.

Questions may be addressed to the North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality at 701-328-5166 or ram@nd.gov for Radioactive Materials and x-ray@nd.gov for Radiation Machines.



    The X-ray Program has added an online payment option

    Visit the Registration Information section in the X-ray Program page for more details.
