The Radioactive Materials Section regulates radioactive materials licensees throughout the state of Washington and is entirely fee supported.  There are diverse uses of radioactive materials licensed by the Radioactive Materials Section. About 40 categories have been defined for the purpose of assessing fees and are subdivided into.

It is highly recommended that you contact the appropriate Licensing Manager to avoid mistakes that could delay your licensing request. The total fee you must submit is the current annual fee, plus the new application license fee of $260. 

 

To determine the appropriate annual fee select the category which best describes the licensed activity and find the two digit fee code.  This code is linked to a short description and the Washington Administrative Code (WAC).

 

Discounts for Small Businesses

Our primary method of reducing the burden on small businesses is to offer a discount on the annual license fee.  For information regarding the provisions for the discount refer to WAC 246-254-030.  The certificate listed below should be printed on your letterhead.
