The Radiation Control Board is authorized to make rules under Section 19-3-104 that are necessary for controlling exposure to sources of radiation that constitute a significant health hazard. Section 19-3-108 allows the Executive Secretary, as authorized by the Board, to issue licenses, review and approve plans, enforce rules, impound radioactive material and authorize employees or representatives of the department to enter at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice in and upon public or private property for the purpose of inspecting and investigating conditions and records concerning radiation sources.
