If the department finds that an emergency exists involving
radioactive material or radiation machines that requires immediate
action to protect the public health and safety, the department may,
without notice or hearing, issue an order stating that an emergency
exists and requiring that action be taken as necessary to meet the
emergency. An emergency order shall be effective immediately. A
person to whom the order is directed shall comply with the order
immediately, but on application to the department shall be afforded a
hearing within ten days of the date application is made. The
emergency order may be continued, modified, or revoked within thirty
days after the hearing, based on the evidence presented at the
hearing. Section History: Recent Form
