Radioactive Materials Section

The Radioactive Materials Section regulates radioactive materials licensees throughout the state of Washington.  A specific license is required to receive, possess, use, transfer, or acquire most radioactive materials.

The Radioactive Materials Section charges an annual fee for each license and registration.  Fees support all costs associated with operating the Radioactive Materials Section.  A new license applicant is charged a new license application fee to cover pre-licensing inspection costs.  The annual fee covers services such as amendments, routine inspections and investigations.  There is a separate fee for follow-up inspections and investigations. Licensees are not charged when they need help.

Note to Licensees

If you intend to work at a federal facility in any state, you must obtain reciprocal recognition of your Washington license from the appropriate jurisdiction before beginning work. You will be subject to whatever fees are in effect for that locality. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has recently updated fees for its reciprocity provisions, to view these changes visit the NRC Website and  look at item 16 under 10 CFR 170.31.
