Licenses for radioactive materials are of two types; general and specific.
The Department issues a specific license to a named person who has filed an application for the license under the provisions of this regulation (61-63). A general license is provided by regulation, grants authority to a person for certain activities involving radioactive material, and is effective without the filing of an application with the Department or the issuance of a licensing document to a particular person. However, registration with the Department may be required by the particular general license.
