Georgia Radiation Control Act

Georgia · Administrative rules and regula- · §§ 31-13-1 to 31-13-9 · 28 sections

Overview

This act establishes a state-level program for regulating radiation sources and radioactive materials, including low-level radioactive waste and X-ray equipment. It creates a radiation control agency headed by a director, sets out that director's duties and staffing, and provides for an advisory board whose members, meetings, and responsibilities it defines. The act grants rulemaking authority over matters such as waste classification, groundwater protection, and the transportation and routing of radioactive materials, and backs those rules with inspection powers, licensing and notice-and-hearing procedures, ordinary and emergency orders, recordkeeping requirements, and authority to impound sources of radiation.
