The Radiation Control Program monitors the development and use of ionizing radiation sources 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.
