Reciprocity - what it means, and how to get it

Reciprocity (recognition of license from other jurisdictions) approvals granted to out of state licensees are valid for one year; which then allows the authorized company to use radioactive material in N.D. for up to 180 days in that year, provided they fully comply with the requirements of Chapter 33-10-19 of the North Dakota Radiological Health Rules.  Please note: Reciprocity expiration notices are not sent out - responsibility for reciprocity renewal remains with the licensee.

Subject to this article, any person who holds a specific license from the U.S. NRC or an agreement state may be granted permission to conduct its activities (as authorized in the license) within North Dakota. To apply for Reciprocity contact our office at 701.328.5188.
