(1)  Exempt from licensing -- no registration with the
Department required (examples: domestic television receiver
and luminous watches -- SSR §§ B.2(c) and C.4(c)(l)(i));

(2)  Exempt from licensing -- registration with the
Department required (example: nonmedical X-ray machines
SSR, parts B and F);

(3)  General license issued by Department -- no
registration with Department required (example: Polonium
static elimination device — SSR § C.22(a)(1));

(4)  General license issued by Department
registration with Department required (example: physicians
using certain radiation sources in laboratory analysis --
SSR §§ C.22(h)(1) and (2)); and

(5)  Specific license required -- application to and
approval by Department required (example: physician using
certain radiation sources on patients for diagnosis or
treatment -- SSR §§ C.25 and C.26(b)).

The SSR also includes definitions of "general license"
and "specific license" similar to those in § 8-101 of this
title. See SSR § C.20.

This title is derived from 2 subtitles in former
Article 43. The subtitle captioned "Radiation Control"
appeared as former §§ 675 through 689A, while the subtitle
entitled "Low-Level Nuclear Waste Disposal" appeared as
former §§ 689E through 689G. The organization of this title
reflects the apparent intent of the General Assembly that
these former subtitles be a single statutory unit. This
intent is evident from the fact that the former subtitle
"Low-Level Nuclear Waste Disposal" contained extensive
provisions, which now appear as Subtitle 4 of this title,
that limit the authority of the Department to issue licenses
controlling sources of radiation, yet nowhere in that former
subtitle is the Department given any authority to issue
those licenses in the first place. The obvious intent of
the language "the Department may not issue a license under
this subtitle" (emphasis added) in former Article 43, §
689F(a)(l) was to refer to the license authorized by former
Article 43, § 689A(a), which now appears in § 8-301 of this
title. Evidence of this intent may be found in the language
"licensed under § 689A of this article" (emphasis added) in
former Article 43, § 689F(b)(3).
